Perkins Eastman is designing a 950-foot tall tower that will become the tallest building in the state of New Jersey, though images are not yet available.

That's a sweet height for Jersey City.

Why wouldn't he be? (Remember, this guy is enthusiastic about the Liberty Rising idea). But being that close to Manhattan with all of the development that takes place, it would be foolish to be against development. New York can't contain it all, and it will only benefit Jersey City (more residents, more taxes, etc.)

Also, Jersey City is one of the few places in the state that can handle this scale of development, with direct rail service into and out of Manhattan, and multiple modes of transportation.
