About

Bob Cotter has been planning and directing Jersey City's upward growth and urban renewal over the course of the last 35 years. During that period, the city has risen to be one of the top 20 downtowns in America in terms of amount of Class A office space. The tallest buildings in New Jersey have been in Jersey City since the 1980's. His motto for his staff of planners is "Market Driven in the Public Interest." His style of city planning is to codify what is important and let the market take care of the rest. It works!
