Baker Residential, whichalready built two residential waterfront developments in Bayonne is now pitching a conversion of an uptown commercial site to a 107-unit condominium loft complex.
The city Planning Board
will consider Baker's application for approval of site plan and a variance for maximum lot coverage at a July 11 hearing at 6 p.m. in City Council chambers at City Hall, Avenue C and 27th Street.

The developer built the 144-unit Boatworks downtown and the 30-unit Bay Harbor apartments in midtown.

Plans filed with the city for Baker's latest project - "The Gateway at Bayonne" - show that the developer wants to tear down three attached commercial buildings at the Riggio/Keene Cashman site, Avenue E between East 50th and East 51st streets, and replace them with a five-story building with ground-floor garage parking for 145 cars and apartments on the four floors above.

The new building would have 91 two-bedroom apartments and 16 one-bedrooms, averaging 1,300 square feet each, priced from $245,000 to $390,000.
