In 2014, L+M Development Partners and the Paulus Hook Community Housing Corporation signed a deal for the sale of the 163-unit affordable housing Paulus Hook Towers and the adjacent parking lot. In the deal, the existing apartments were to have $3 million invested into them by L+M, including new windows and façade renovations. In exchange, L+M was allowed to develop a tower on the parking lot.[2]

The development was to include 750 units, including 244 studios, 249 one-bedrooms, 224 two-bedrooms, and 33 three-bedrooms, with 37 apartments set aside for affordable housing. The building is to have 17,000 sq ft of retail space split amongst four storefronts, as well as a 36,000 sq ft elementary school, which was to be sold to Jersey City for $1.
