Currently there are 30 businesses employing roughly 200 people which occupy three quarters of the space at Neumann Leathers. Fifty or so artists and musicians rent the remaining quarter. The complex is Hoboken’s oldest factory building, dating back to the 1870s, and stands as a reminder of the City’s Industrial Past. It is highlighted in the city’s revised Master Plan as a site for Historic Preservation, and with a major facelift could be a jewel at our southern portal. It is a link to our history and at the same time provides an element of diversity in an otherwise monotonous march of condo development.

The Neumann Leathers Tenants Association (NLTA) is crafting a Better Plan (to be presented soon) that would save most of the existing buildings and their current uses, and create a unique new public space with restaurants, cafes, shops, art gallery, a grocery store, and more in an inner courtyard or "piazza”.  New development, either residential or commercial would be built primarily in the existing parking lot.
