List of tallest buildings in North Hudson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Hudson comprises the municipalities of Weehawken, Union City, West New York, Guttenberg and North Bergen in Hudson County, New Jersey. With an estimated population of about 206,000 as of 2022, the contiguous urban area, one of the most densely populated places in the nation, is largely situated atop the Palisades on the Hudson Waterfront along the west bank of the North River.
The area lies north of Hoboken and Jersey City, across the river from Midtown Manhattan and the Upper West Side in New York City, and east of the New Jersey Meadowlands. Its high elevation of about 260 ft (79 m)[1] affords North Hudson expansive views of the Manhattan skyline to the east and of the Meadowlands, as well as the Watchung Mountains beyond, to the west. Many of the tall buildings are part of a string of residential high-rises that continues north along the Boulevard East–Palisade Avenue–River Road corridors into the eastern Bergen County towns of Cliffside Park, Edgewater and Fort Lee.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Many of the buildings went up during a boom in development in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[9][10][11][12] In Weehawken, building heights are restricted if they would disturb the view of the Hudson River and New York skyline.[13][14][15][16] There is proposed state legislation to restrict building heights that would rise above the cliffs or Palisade Avenue along the entire corridor from Jersey City to Fort Lee.[17][18][19][20]
