The two cranes are working feverishly to get this thing off the ground, and they have been doing their job. The concrete structure has shot up about 11 stories so far and creeps up a little more every day. Here is is adjacent to the existing Doubeltree hotel and across from the Westin.

The site located at 23 Duncan between Bergen and JFK Blvd. is to break ground on a new 45 unit building. The construction was supposed to begin in the summer of 09, so obviously, some delays are already apparent.
From the JC Redevelopment Agency:A residential workforce housing project to consist of 45 units at 23-25 Duncan Avenue, Mary Norton Manor is the third workforce housing project to be constructed in Jersey City and the first in the West Side Ward. The Agency in its ongoing advocacy of "green," sustainable, energy efficient projects, has worked closely with the Franklin Development Group to ensure that the building is built to L.E.E.D "silver" rating standard.
The Project honors former Congresswoman Mary Norton (1875-1959), the first woman elected to Congress in the State of New Jersey (1925-1951), and the first woman Democrat elected to Congress from an eastern state. The Project is a fitting testament to the working families the Congresswoman so passionately represented.
This is a renovation of a building on Winfield Ave in southern JC.
Exterior work chugs on as next door, 257 Princeton Ave has interior work to be finalized.

the one story building is wrapping up, and two retail fronts are left for renting. I already know the one on the right is gearing up to be a Chinese food restaurant, replacing the old one in the same location. Im not sure about what will be adjacent to that, but, I kinda wish the whole building was a 7-11 or something useful. JSQ can definitely support more 24 hour places.
I've seen a lot of work happen on the west side of the campus, appropriately, on West Side Ave. Honestly though, I haven't been able to fine exactly what is going on yet. I first thought the area was being cleared for yet another parking lot, but the size of the trenches leads me to believe the ground is being prepared for a larger structure in this location. I do know that the school plans to be powered by 100% wind energy for at least one year starting jan 1st. which is good news for the area whos air doesnt meet federal health standards. As for this lot though, Im still in the dark. 
Now that the little box notched out of the fourth floor is finally surfaced, the building seems a lot more finished. The retail units on the ground floor still need their windows and doors, but I have a feeling they will rent quickly once completed as this is a very busy and popular area for restaurants and grocery stores to fill into.
