Summary, model-written
Greenville Yard in Jersey City, NJ, was originally a 1904 Pennsylvania Railroad freight rail yard. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey purchased it in 2010 and redeveloped it as industrial space. Construction began in 2016, with both phases completed by 2019. It is currently built and operational.
Why. The site is adjacent to multiple New York City industrial/commercial assets within 4 km (e.g., A&P Warehouse, St. John’s Terminal). Hudson County’s housing market shows steady growth (ZHVI +15.5% over 5 years), and median industrial rent is $1,811. The Port Authority owns and operates it as a public entity.
Where it stands. Status: Built. No current tenant data or occupancy rate provided. Industrial use confirmed. No new construction planned (no active permits or pending projects listed).
For a planner
- Adjacent to NYC assets (3.1–3.8 km)
- Hudson County industrial market shows growth (median rent $1,811)
- Public ownership reduces transaction complexity
For a developer

- Proximity to NYC industrial clusters (e.g., 21 West St., 3.2 km)
- No tenant or vacancy data available
What we do not know yet
- No current tenant list or occupancy rate
- No details on current industrial use (e.g., logistics, manufacturing)
