Update: Per HAP, both versions depict “different design studies for the site, and are simply conceptual at this time. They may not reflect the final approved design which is not expected for several years.”

Back in August, YIMBY featured a first look at HAP’s plans for a new residential tower in Jersey City’s Journal Square. That version would have stood approximately 40 stories tall, and the roughly 800,000 square foot development would have held rental apartments.

Now, we have a look at another possible scheme for the site, created by CetraRuddy, the firm also responsible for the first iteration. The new design is significantly taller, standing well over 50 stories, and could indicate the site may be geared towards condominiums rather than rental units.

Last November, developers Hartz Mountain and Panepinto Properties received a 30-year tax break for their 13-story, 240-unit mixed-use project at 3 Journal Square Plaza, in Jersey City’s Journal Square neighborhood. Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects is designing the building, which YIMBY can now reveal.

The project is rising on top of an existing parking structure between 1 and 2 Journal Square Plaza, or 2940 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, right across the street from the PATH station, with easy access to east-bound trains headed to the WTC Transit Hub or Herald Square at 33rd Street.

Retail and amenity space will be located on the ground floor, followed by 240 apartment units through the 13th floor. The building will be topped by an eco-friendly green roof.

Yes , that is the latest design. 3x more cooler then the old design.

Hmm, I though that Journal Square just had this site. I need to get down there and check by myself. Maybe tomorrow

 

[Nexis]

Theres a few projects that surround the PATH station. I need to get over there myself , haven't been to JSQ since 2011.

 

[JohnFlint1985]

OK the one I was asking is called Journal Squared and is currently under construction.

^ it's still a three tower project... just building it in stages depending on demand. This is the shortest one, 54 stories... next one to be built won't start likely until 2018 unless the first sells really quickly. That one would be the tallest, at 70 plus stories, somewhere in the 750 ft range. This one is about 550 ft at least, possibly a bit taller. Last one wouldn't start til likely early next decade(again depending on demand and the economy)and would likely be around 60 stories and 650 ft.
