Canoe Brook & Roseland Advance Weehawken Waterfront Project

• Canoe Brook Development and Roseland Properties are advancing construction on a mixed-use waterfront project at 300 Port Imperial Ave.
• The 11-story development will include 313 market-rate apartments, a 23,000-square-foot performing arts center, and 296 parking spaces.
• The project is rising on a 1.88-acre site near the Port Imperial ferry terminal in Weehawken, New Jersey.

What the Development Includes

Construction continues to move upward at Port Imperial South Site 3, a new mixed-use residential project taking shape along the Weehawken waterfront. The 11-story building will deliver 313 market-rate apartments alongside a performing arts center and below-grade parking. Designed by Lessard Design, the project features a contemporary architectural style with floor-to-ceiling glass, balconies, and outdoor terraces overlooking the Hudson River. The development is being built on a previously vacant site within the larger Port Imperial neighborhood, one of the most active waterfront development corridors in northern New Jersey.

What the Performing Arts Center Will Bring

A major component of the project is a new $25 million performing arts center located on the ground floor facing the waterfront. The 23,000-square-foot facility will include a 300-seat main theater and a smaller performance venue with fewer than 100 seats. The center is expected to become the future home of Hudson Theatre Works and will eventually be deeded to Weehawken Township. Local officials recently celebrated the project's groundbreaking, highlighting its role as both a cultural and community asset for the waterfront district.

What This Means for the Port Imperial Waterfront

Port Imperial has transformed significantly over the past two decades, evolving from an industrial waterfront into a major mixed-use residential destination with ferry access to Manhattan. The addition of new apartments, entertainment space, and community amenities continues that growth strategy. The location's direct access to the Port Imperial ferry terminal remains a major draw for residents seeking a transit-oriented alternative to New York City living. Residential amenities at the property are expected to include a swimming pool, fitness center, resident lounges, and additional gathering spaces.

What the Project Could Mean for Weehawken

As more residential and mixed-use projects come online along the Hudson River waterfront, Weehawken continues strengthening its position as one of the region's most desirable commuter markets. The combination of housing, cultural programming, and waterfront access could further boost demand throughout Port Imperial while supporting continued investment in the surrounding neighborhood. The performing arts center is expected to open within the next two years, while construction on the residential component continues to progress.
