JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Kushner is nearing completion of The Journal, a nearly $1 billion luxury apartment development in Jersey City’s Journal Square area.
The project features two 64-story towers that are now topped out, and preleasing efforts are set to begin in early 2025. Kushner has selected Manhattan-based The Marketing Directors as the marketing and leasing agent for the property.
Upon completion, The Journal will comprise more than 2 million square feet with 1,723 apartment units and 45,000 square feet of upscale amenity spaces. Target has leased the entirety of the development’s 40,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Positioned adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station, The Journal will provide convenient access to Manhattan. Residents will enjoy views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.
Designed by global architectural firm Woods Bagot, The Journal is characterized by a slender, vertical profile. A nearly one-acre public plaza adorned with landscaping and seating areas will open onto John F. Kennedy Boulevard.
Amenities at The Journal will encompass a wide array of health, wellness and recreational options, including an Olympic-size indoor pool, whirlpool spa, sauna, steam rooms, bowling alley, golf simulator and multiple lounges. The property will also feature dedicated coworking spaces, a chef’s kitchen, children’s club, outdoor pool and rooftop terraces. In addition, a fitness center will feature yoga and spin rooms, a full-size indoor basketball court, rock-climbing wall and squash courts.
A full-service lifestyle concierge will be available to fulfill resident needs such as moving, cleaning and pet sitting.
Kushner, a real estate development and management firm headquartered in New York City, broke ground on The Journal in 2022. The company’s portfolio encompasses residential, commercial, retail and hospitality assets, with approximately 10,000 apartments under development and more than 22,000 apartments under ownership across 14 states.
