The new tower will also contribute to the expanding sense of a retail strip extending from the Aqua and the Shore towers. <\/p>\n<p>Newport has long been criticized for failing to develop the vibrancy of a natural community. However, the newest towers built along River Drive have a more traditional downtown sensibility. Anchored by the Morton Williams grocery store, it was hoped the new design would capture the same sense of an organic neighborhood. <\/p>\n<p>Several of those store fronts remain empty however a new pizzeria has been announced in the base the Aqua, joining a salon and children&#8217;s store.  <\/p>\n<p>The Laguna will be taking advantage of the relatively new waterfront waterway connection that links Hoboken with Jersey City as well as a new park sometimes marketed as a &#8220;central park of Newport.&#8221;  The park has been under construction since last spring. Unlike the vast majority of green spaces in Newport, users will be allowed to actively use the park. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorkssixth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/laguna1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newyorkssixth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/laguna1.jpg\" alt=\"he Laguna is the newest tower in the Newport section of Jersey City\" title=\"The Laguna \" class=\"img-fluid rounded\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rental market in Jersey City is coming back and no better evidence of this is the construction of a new residential tower in the Newport section of Jersey City.
