Move over, Broadway.

Jersey City will soon have its very own theater district, with two proposed Downtown residential developments set to include theaters seating almost 700 people combined.

It’s unusual for two developers to be planning theater spaces for use by the general public, according to City Planner Bob Cotter.

“Nobody else has done it,” Cotter said.

One space, slated for a development proposed by Eric and Paul Silverman, will be the permanent home for Art House Productions, a Jersey City-based troupe that currently produces shows on the top floor of a former hospital near Hamilton Park.

Christine Goodman, Art House’s founder and executive director, said the new theater illustrates that the Silvermans know the importance of the arts.

“They’ve always been big supporters of the work that we do and really helped us to grow as an organization,” Goodman said.

Both theaters are still years from completion. The Silverman development, which will include the 175-seat theater for Art House, has only received zoning approvals, with final designs not yet submitted to the city. It is slated for the lot between Bay and Morgan streets just west of Marin Boulevard.

The Toll Brothers’ three-tower, 927-unit Provost Square, meanwhile, is under construction now, with an optimistic completion date of 2018. The towers will sit on the site of the old Manischewitz factory, in between Bay and Morgan streets just east of Marin Boulevard.

The Silvermans aren’t providing the theater for nothing. In exchange for building the space, the developers have received a zoning bonus from the city that will allow them build a tower 475 feet off the ground in an area where they were initially restricted to a maximum of about 12 stories, according to Cotter.

The Toll Brothers, meanwhile, inherited a requirement to build their theater when they purchased the site, for which the city approved increased density as part of an existing redevelopment plan, Cotter said.

Not everyone is jazzed. Kay Kenny, president of visual-arts group Pro Arts Jersey City, said the size of the proposed theaters is a problem.

They are “way too big for the Jersey City theater crowd,” Kenny said, adding that she hopes the theaters will have a visual-arts component, like space in their lobbies for art showings.

Goodman, though, hopes the theaters will allow developers to see the value of creating permanent cultural institutions for Jersey City residents.

“This permanent home is just an incredible step for our organization and for the city, too,” she said.”
