Nishuane Group just had a chance to review plans for the proposed improvements to Hoboken Terminal, and frankly, we were blown away. ?? We're thrilled to be able to share a sneak peek with you. Now that's what we call #transitorienteddevelopment! ??? The renovation of Hoboken Terminal is part of a project being developed by NJ TRANSIT, which owns the terminal, and developer LCOR #HobokenConnect also includes the construction of a 27-story apartment building, which began in January. ?? #AprilFools #AprilFoolsDay #HobokenNJ #HobokenTerminal #ThomastheTankEngine #ThomasAndFriends

Others work from sun to sun BUT a planner's work is NEVER done! ?? How do planners vacation? They don't! Nishuane Group's George Wheatle Williams, PP/AICP recently visited beautiful #NewOrleans and when he wasn't taking in some of its history, culture, and world-renowned food and drink, he couldn't help but fall in love with the wide array of public art there! ?? Another learning experience (and use case!) for GWW to bring home in his carry-on. ?? Hopefully we'll have a chance to incorporate some wall art in a future project... ?????? #NOLA #wallart #publicart #njplanners #njplanningfirm

Even as we improve existing towns and cities, new growth is often a necessity. ?? In that context, let's learn about the new community of "Daybreak," located on a brownfield site and designated growth area in Utah, and how it fits into the discussion of greenfield / brownfield vs. infill development.

Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs are often a controversial topic, but with #affordablehousing out of reach for much of the nation, they can be a valuable lifeline, opening doors that may otherwise have been closed. ?? It’s important to remember that policy changes like ADU legalization and zoning reform aren’t just about density, economic models or political victories — they’re about people. So, today we wanted to share some ADU success stories: https://lnkd.in/e_Hpe9ma #ADUs #njhousing #njaffordablehousing #housingpolicy #buildmorehousing #zoningreform

Last month Nishuane Group Senior Associate Steven Martini, PP, AICP presented the "Block 113, Lot 9 and Block 120, Lot 3.01 Redevelopment Study" before the City of Plainfield Planning Board, which approved it unanimously. ? Nishuane Group hit the ground running with site visits and a photo survey to get a clear picture of the Study Area’s current conditions and land uses. We also dug into key city documents—like Plainfield’s Master Plan, zoning ordinances, and City Council resolutions—to understand the bigger picture. Plus, we gathered property records to help assess what’s already in place. All of this provided us with what we needed to evaluate the area and its potential. ?? The next steps would be to prepare a redevelopment plan for these two long-standing vacant properties in the City's 4th Ward, which will assist in filling existing physical gaps in the neighborhood. ??? The Queen City's future is bright and we're proud to have our fingerprints on its glow up! ??? #PlainfieldNJ #redevelopmentstudy #AINOR #njredevelopment #njdevelopment #njplanners #njplanningfirm
