New Renderings Preview Six-Tower, 2,088-Unit Complex at 180 Baldwin Avenue in Journal Square, Jersey City

New renderings have been revealed for 180 Baldwin Avenue, a six-tower residential complex in Journal Square, Jersey City. Engineered by Dresdner Robin, the 27-story towers are planned to rise 293 feet tall and yield a total of 2,088 rental apartments. The development will also include commercial space and enclosed parking for 658 vehicles. The property will occupy roughly two-thirds of the block bounded by High Street to the north, Rock Street to the south, and Baldwin Avenue to the west.

The above aerial rendering looks northwest at the towers, previewing their distinctive tapered geometry. Their façades are shown composed of glass curtain walls with irregular grids of dark metal paneling. Angular cutouts below their crowns will create space for landscaped loggias.

Below is a street-level view with the same orientation. The buildings’ asymmetrical sculptural forms will create a striking contrast with the orderly rectangular designs of the three skyscrapers in Handel Architects’ nearby Journal Squared master plan.

The below diagrams offer a more detailed preview of the plaza at the base of the six towers. Sections of this space will be built on a suspended platform due to the sloped topography of the site. This can be seen in the various cutouts across the plaza, as well as the overhanging edges and staircases to lower parts of the property.
