Curbed.com maps Jersey City’s tallest buildings!
New York may be known for its skyscrapers, but its humble neighbor to the west is slowly but surely catching up in the megaproject department. While New Jersey won’t be getting any supertall towers anytime soon, there are plenty of larger developments coming to the state, including 99 Hudson Street in Jersey City, a planned 990-foot tower that will, upon completion, become the tallest building in the state. There’s also a pie-in-the-sky idea to resurrect the struggling Atlantic City via a giant new casino and tower. So what better time is there to look at the tallest towers rising in the Garden State? This list looks at both the tallest planned towers and some of the smaller ones—but ends with 475-foot-tall buildings. (We had to stop somewhere.)
JOURNAL SQUARED, TOWER 2
The Journal Squared complex is Jersey City’s own megaproject, with
Kushner Real Estate Group and
National Real Estate Advisors developing three residential towers in the Journal Square neighborhood. Of the three structures, tower 2 is expected to be the tallest, at 70 stories and 742 feet tall. Completion is expected sometime in 2016. [Rendering via Hollwich Kushner]
