Japanese developers tour Jersey City's Newport as example of transit-oriented smart growth
The Jersey Journal

Atlantic Yards must be the example of how not to do things.
A delegation of 16 Japanese developers toured Newport Wednesday to get ideas on how to successfully develop residential and commercial properties around a railroad station.
The stop was part of a weeklong tour that also includes Grand Central Terminal, Queens Center Mall, the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, the Potomac Yard Project in Alexandria, Vir., and the Wisconsin Place shopping center in Chevy Chase, Md.
NoLandGrab: In Japan, real estate developers are known as "Yakuza." Here, too.
