I don't even think this one will happen at all. A lot of bs with the developer and the city. I'd hold tight on this one. My not happening radar is on this one. Wouldn't shock me if we get a down sized project.

But yes, it was reduced in height at 758 ft.

Nice! On to phase 3.

Thats the positive with Jersey City, really helps to make Lower Manhattan look a lot bigger.

J Sq phase II (look by 1 WTC). Also far right, 99 Hudson, the new tallest for Jersey City.

To the right of 111 Murray, 45 Park Place can be seen.

On a side note, special mention to 3 WTC, and the effect that lighting has from the right angle in making the tower transparent.

This one seems to soar like the first tower never seemed to.

Phase III will be the 633 ft version. This one being (phase II) 759 ft. The 1st component is 574 ft.

The elevation of the neighborhood helps greatly as well. From Newark NJ or certain proxy cities near Jersey City, from the right angle, closer to sea level elevation, this appears in similar magnitude to a super tall. It actually looks freakishly tall from the right angle.

You really see how tall a 760 foot building is when there's nothing around it, instead of in the middle of Manhattan or Chicago where they look tiny.

True. Yeah we often forget how big even a 800 or 900 ft tower can be. Well, when I say "we", I mean NY folks lol. Like when I drive to Philadelphia for example, One Liberty Place looks absolutely dominating. The whole skyline in general, including Comcast (both of them). Meanwhile in NY, 4 WTC looks bloody tiny, likewise with 10 Hudson. All about that frame of reference. Singled out, with the surroundings not ruining the perspective, these towers really stand out. Yeah I guess its a good thing when even a 850 ft tower looks minuscule in this region. Even 99 Hudson, placed along a backdrop of L.Manhattan, doesn't quite feel 900 ft.

They haven't closed up the top of the tower but the hoists have continued to run.

However, the executive order may halt this building for now

From the past few weeks

Journal Squared Phase 2 can be seen foreground relative to 1 WTC. Amazing how a 759 ft tower, thats above grade, elevation of 100+ft, hilly in other words, looks bloody microscopic from a far.

I like these towers primarily for their isolation and not their design. But thankfully the design is proportioned well enough to make their isolation impressive!

If I ever end up divorced, and my wife and our lawyers take such a huge chunk I can no longer afford to live in the city in a manner to which I am accustomed, I would consider moving here, and wistfully remembering my old life through a window on a high floor with unobstructed views.

Some pictures from when construction was paused. It restarted last week, although there seemed to be some low level or interior work going on most of the time.

They finally started up on the facade again
