Nice to see the parking garage wrapped in townhouses. A good design all around-I like the crown too.
Also nice to see development moving inland. |
The boom in JC is verging on insane. Everything seems to be happening at once.
While the skyline is currently moderately impressive, by 2020 it could conceivably be better than most large cities in the US, surpassing downtowns of Seattle, Atlanta, and LA. I have heard inklings that a supertall is on the horizon for JC as well. |
^ I don't think JC is even on the same level as those 3 cities. They have many large and very recognizable office towers. JC has mostly nondescript residential towers and a few stumpy nondescript office towers.
I'll give you Portland, San Diego and Charlotte however. |

I'm sure someone has #s for 500'+ structures, but JC will easily outpace most major metro areas in that regard within five years. Off Wiki, JC has 5 buildings of 500'+ at the moment, and 7 if you include the Monaco Towers which are 499' tall. In the near-future, there will be at least nine more towers of 500'+, with five rising in Journal Square and the San Remo + URL rising in JC. That is probably leaving out several developments, as well. Several of the above will be above 700', too -- the URL Towers and JSquared. As of today, Atlanta has 15 buildings of 500'+, LA has 22, and Seattle has 13. None of the above compare to JC in terms of the volume of skyscrapers u/c. While LA may be out of reach, JC certainly stands a chance at overtaking both Atlanta and Seattle by 2020... |
This is so very exciting! Every couple days there is a new tower it seems.
Jersey City is very pro-development and is not afraid of going tall. This development is a short walk to the Grove Street PATH station. Midtown or lower Manhattan is less than 10 minutes away from there. Jersey City is an affordable and attractive option for those looking for a quick commute to the city. Developers have taken notice and are trying to meet the demand. There are also fairly generous tax-incentives being offered with every new development, which takes away a lot of the risk to the builder. As long as NYC continues to see growth, Jersey City should be able to ride the coattails. Although, it's not just residential growth or overflow from New York. It's a large part but not the full story. There is a decently-sized business district on the waterfront. The PATH trains are completely full in both directions during rush hour due to New Yorkers' heading for Jersey City for the reverse commute. Older generations may have preferred to live in the suburbs and commute in and out via NJ Transit or private ca,r but younger generations want to live near where they work and be close to the bright lights of the city. My experience anyway... I wonder what will be proposed later this week. :) |
This one comes in at 475 feet.
