JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Construction for the first phase of Journal Squared in Jersey City has topped out at 563 feet. The 53-story building, which will feature 538 residential units, is part of the three-tower, mixed-use project that is revitalizing Jersey City’s historic Journal Square neighborhood. Scheduled for completion in late 2016, the first phase will feature a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom rental unit and more than 10,000 square feet of amenities, including a fitness center, golf simulator, children’s playroom, outdoor pool and entertaining space on the 53rd floor. Situated adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station, the three-phase project will also include a 60-story tower and a 70-story building. Upon completion, the project will bring 1,838 rental residences, 36,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a pedestrian-friendly public plaza to the neighborhood. Designed by HWKN and Handel Architects, the project is being developed by KRE Group and National Real Estate Advisors.
