[5] The Galaxy Towers were built in 1976 by a partnership of Norman Belfer, a Long Island developer who owned another high-rise in Guttenberg, and the Prudential Insurance Company of America.

Most of the complex's apartments offer spectacular, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, a feature enhanced by the octagonal shape of the buildings and their staggered configuration along the river.

The fact that the Towers has been likened to a self-contained city within a town that is only four-blocks long has plagued the Galaxy's owners from the building's inception.

[3][4][7] During the first few years the Galaxy was open, its 57 different apartment models, each with an odd-shaped floor plan dictated by its location in the beehive of its tower, rented for an average of $800.

Prudential took over the complex and made some improvements, including the installation of new windows, renovation of the lobby and hallways and the purchase of a 17-acre parcel of waterfront land below the Galaxy that had been used for the processing and storage of peanut oil.

[6] Access to the Galaxy is via the garage entrances and a circular tree-lined driveway known as "The Plaza" at Boulevard East on top of the Hudson Palisades .

In addition to a number of different stores, and dining establishments,[1][6] it was the location of the 500-seat Galaxy TriPlex movie theater, which was built in 1977, and whose operational status changed numerous times over the next quarter century.

[6][9] It closed one year after it opened, and remained unused for a decade, until it reopened in 1987 by owner Nelson Page of Majestic Entertainment.

Deluca, who opposed the GTCA Board, quickly gained supporters with the site, which focuses on various local lawsuits, conflicts and other issues.

The recall was successful, and following an election, two of Deluca's allies, including current GTCA Board President Slava Lerner, were voted in.

That December Lerner filed petition in New Jersey Superior Court asking for an order that would allow him to gain the identity of the posters through Deluca's computer and website.

The fire department used hydraulic rescue tools to push the car away from the wall in order to free the man, who was taken to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment, though notably, he had no major injuries.

The Center was also intended to provide an attractive space for children to socialize, and a meeting place for senior citizens, where services including ESL classes, citizenship exam preparation, and career assistance would be offered.
