context_page_description: Newport is a 600-acre master-planned, mixed-use community in Downtown Jersey City, New Jersey, United States, consisting of retail, residential, office, and entertainment facilities. The neighborhood is situated on the Hudson Waterfront on what had been the yards of Erie Railroad's Pavonia Terminal, located opposite Lower Manhattan and the neighborhood of Tribeca in New York City. Redevelopment of the neighborhood began in 1986 as a $10 billion project led by real-estate tycoon Samuel J. LeFrak and his firm The LeFrak Organization.
context_section_description: As of 2014, the population of Newport is 15,000. Newport's approved master Redevelopment Plan contains an 'as-of-right' entitlement to build 9,000 units of residential housing.  Newport currently includes 10 high-rise rental apartment buildings comprising approximately 4,000 households.  Construction of these buildings began in 1985.  Newport's 10th rental apartment building, "The Aquablu," was completed and occupied in 2009.  Newport also includes 3 high-rise condominium apartment buildings comprising approximately 900 additional households.  Construction of these condominium buildings began in 1987.  The most recent condominium building, known as "The Shore Condominiums at Newport, North Tower" was completed in 2008.  Several adjacent residential buildings just south of Thomas Gangemi Drive along the 10th Street embankment are outside of the Newport Redevelopment Zone, but because they are developed by the LeFrak organization, are often advertised by real estate professionals as being in Newport, but are actually located outside it.
  The residential buildings within Newport are:
  John Adams
  George Washington
  James Madison
  Thomas Jefferson
  James Monroe (condo)
  Riverside
  Atlantic
  East Hampton
   
  South Hampton
  Pacific
  Parkside East
  Parkside West
  Shore Condominiums, North and South Towers
  Aquablu
  Laguna
  Ellipse
   
  Many buildings offer views of Hudson River and the New York City skyline. A portion of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway runs through Newport.
