Finally, we’re scheduled to start construction on 1JSQ before summer 2022. Deposits are in.

This will be the largest residential project in NJ + in the heart of JSQ. Importantly we’ll be improving public spaces/parks as well.

We’re also starting design w/community for Court House Park. RFP will be out next month for this. This will be a new/large park in JSQ for the 1st time.

Here is a picture of the improved JFK side of 1JSQ, improved park and another picture of the Bergen Square plan.

Between the Loews, Centre Pompidou, the Bergen Square redesign, Museum of JC History at ATH, the Hudson County College expansion + private development in the area great things are happening here.

Easily the least exciting of all the iterations, but whatever just get it built already...

Just a reminder of the renderings circa 2016:

We'll most likely see movement in this next month or early May with equipment moving in.

A ton of units. 1723 units here and also the odds are looking good for Pier 6, with another 1723 units in 4 towers (preliminary approval on that one).

Jersey City is hot! Inclusionary zoning ordinance mitigation in the works!

Kushner Breaks Ground on One Journal Square, Target to Anchor Retail Space

Quote:

Following an epic saga that included false starts, lawsuits, and more than a few controversies, construction has finally begun at an empty property in the heart of Journal Square that will invest almost $1 billion into the neighborhood.

On June 16, principals of Kushner hosted Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and other dignitaries to mark the true beginning of their 1,723-unit One Journal Square project. The two-million-square-foot development is situated adjacent to the neighborhood’s PATH station on a parcel that has sat vacant since 2009.

One Journal Square, to be built by AJD Construction, will rise 710 feet in the air at the highest point and consist of two 64-story structures (52-floor towers linked by a 12-story base). Designed by global architectural firm Woods Bagot, the design aims to express a slender verticality with a series of stepped volumes that transition the towers to the neighborhood’s scale.

“Today’s groundbreaking for One Journal Square has been several years in the making for us, and we are thrilled to begin the physical build-out of what we believe will be the crown jewel of this resurgent neighborhood and an important asset for all of Jersey City,” said Laurent Morali, CEO of Kushner. “Our steadfast commitment to moving this pivotal project forward was founded in our strong belief in Journal Square, both in its present and in its future, and we look forward to bringing our vision to life.”

The rental apartments in the complex will break down as 493 studios, 972 one-bedrooms, 222 two-bedrooms, and 36 three-bedroom spaces. The base of One Journal Square will include 883 parking spaces plus 40,000 square feet of retail space, with Mayor Fulop announcing in a tweet that Target has agreed to a deal that will make them the anchor tenant at the property.

“When you look at what’s happening in Journal Square, you’d be hard-pressed to find another city in the country that can point to the amount of development in this two-block radius,” Mayor Fulop said during the ceremony, where he dubbed One Journal Square “probably the most significant project in New Jersey.”

Besides this and the 899 ft development, are there any other big ones going up in Jersey City (or Newark)

What 899 ft. development? Are you talking about 99 Hudson, which was completed last year?

There are a crapload of towers u/c and planned in both cities.

Jersey City going crazy! One of the great skylines of NYC!
Let's see a standout supertall eventually!

chris08876 · #**215** Posted **Jun 18, 2022, 12:47 AM**

Hopefully Newark will have a list the size of Jersey City. Newark is a tinder box waiting to explode in development. Some good things in the pipeline but it hasn't yet exploded to Jersey City levels.

That list of projects alone makes me giddy with glee. There are fewer sweeter things than a skyscraper boom. Go JC!

Indeed. I'm very interested in the population between these two cities. Only downside is that as these areas see an influx of people with high disposable incomes, it could cause excessive gentrification and displacement in some areas if we're not carful.

A little gentrification is not a bad thing, especially if it could improve the worst parts of Newark and Jersey City. I just don't want to see it that long term residents are forced out en mass.

The solution is to make sure there is an adequate amount of supply of housing at all income levels. Even the so called luxury housing, what that does is allow older housing built 10, 20, 30 years ago to turn into the affordable options. The city also needs to do away with the R1 zoning. It's in the neighborhoods where the last naturally affordable housing can be found. There are still places in the Heights, Westside and Greenville where a one bedroom apartment can be found for a $1,000 bucks. The problem is it would be an illegal subsidized dwelling in the eyes of the city due to zoning.

Code:

                2020           2021     
Jersey City    292,449        283,927
Newark         310,876        307,220

It's obvious the census estimates are bullshit this year, but how long until Jersey City surpasses Newark. Both cities are growing fast, but JC is at warp speed.

Jersey City built 4,762 new units in 2020
Newark built 489 new units

Jersey City built 4,073 new units in 2021
Newark built 1,338 new units

So far in 2022... (March 2022 data)
Jersey City built 1,652 new units
Newark built 678 new units

2022 numbers extrapolated

JC: 6,608
Newark: 2,712
