This makes for some phenomenal wallpaper. I love this view, and also, I wish it panned more to the right, to see DoBro “fully”. From the right angle, all three skyline nodes fuse into one massive skyline. Quite a sight in person to behold.
Yeah, the growth of the Jersey City skyline has been astounding!
If you had told me 20 years ago that JC, all by itself, would have a larger/taller skyline than any midwest city outside of Chicago by 2020, I would have called you crazy, but that's where we're at. Who would've guessed it?

I just wish Newark NJ would jump on the development/boom train. Its seeing some progress, but not on the level of Jersey City. Newark is greatly underrated and way overdue for a massive boom. A few projects in the pipeline that promise to be big, I just hope they start up eventually.

I don't follow what's going on in Newark, but according to the CTBUH, it hasn't built a tower over 100m since 1980, 4 decades ago now.
Meanwhile, in those same 4 decades, JC went from zero towers over 100m to 35 towers over 100m (31 within the past 20 years alone), with 4 of those standing over 200m tall. Quite remarkable!

That would be something, and really vault JC to a skyline of national significance all on its own.
And it would balance the supertall going up in Brooklyn very nicely. You'd have the main supertall forests in midtown and lower Manhattan, then outrigger satellites across each river from lower manhattan in Brooklyn and JC. 4 individual clusters of supertalls, that's how America's undisputed alpha metro should roll!

A super tall in Journal Square would be great given the AMSL over on the hilly topography. Like JSquared Phase II looks very tall thanks to the elevation. Would look very powerful for the region from a skyline presence.

Posted over in the JC compilation via "C". For your records Steely.
Which one is 107 Morgan, specifically? The Coles St project mentioned in the Jersey City forum looks exciting...over 670 and 510 units each,a skybridge possibly conjoining them. How tall likely there?
Only problem with the Journal Square supertall argument is that a couple of projects not built(looking at you, Kushners) originally were planned at 900 ft at least but got FAA rejections for anything over 800ft(correct me if I'm wrong) but there were significant reductions in height apparently forced by the FAA. I'd love a supertall or two in the center of our city, and don't forget that air rights from the Port Authority may be sold(and that could be well over ten million square feet in total)as the Port Authority wants to bring in badly needed additional revenue while modernizing the central transportation hub at Journal Square. But I'm not so sure there isn't a height limit due to FAA flight pattern concerns.
Perkins Eastman’s 99 Hudson Street Nears Completion In Jersey City
Quote:
Work on 99 Hudson Street in Jersey City is nearly complete as finishing touches proceed on the ground floor and interiors. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by COA 99 Hudson, LLC, the 79-story, 900-foot-tall residential skyscraper is the tallest building in New Jersey. Plaza Construction is in charge of construction with Vidaris overseeing the installation of the exterior envelope. 99 Hudson Street rises from a full-block parcel bound by Hudson Street to the east, Grand Street to the south, Greene Street to the west, and York Street to the north.
Photos from street level show the edifice fully clad in its Jura limestone and glass curtain wall. The multifaceted crown with its numerous setbacks is also complete.
The 781 residential units range from studios going for $550,000 to more than $4,000,000 for penthouse units, which offer up to 2,500 square feet of living space. A select number of homes on the lower half of the building will have balconies with views of the Midtown and Lower Manhattan skylines, as well as the New York Harbor. See YIMBY’s construction tour of the skyscraper for more photos.
99 Hudson Street is slated for completion this spring.
More info on potential pipeline projects for Hudson County, including Weehawken and West New York from Mack Cali's pipeline portfolio.
Thanks, Chris! Sorry for going off topic, will definitely look at the info. I really do wish they emphasized the limestone over the glass in the top half but still it looks really good. I love the boomerang crown and it really complements the Goldman Sachs tower. There are two more Goldman Sachs owned lots in that area that will really complete that part of the skyline... 55 Hudson where the latest proposal of a 95 story tower didn't pan out, but something big will rise there eventually next to 77 Hudson... and 50 Hudson,right next to the Goldman Sachs tower.
