BREAKING NEWS
19. Case: P16-062 Preliminary and Final Major Site Plan with Deviations
Applicant: One Journal Square Tower North Urban Renewal Company LLC
One Journal Square Tower South Urban Renewal Company LLC
One Journal Square Partners Urban Renewal Company LLC
One Journal Square Condominium Association Inc.
Review Planner: Jeff Wenger, PP, AICP
Attorney: Eugene Paolino
Address: 10 Journal Square
Block: 9501 Lot: 23
Zone: Journal Square 2060 Redevelopment Plan
Description: Construction of new mixed use project with two towers of 46 and 79 stories with 1,725
residential units, 88,754sf of retail, 126,937sf of office, 910 parking spaces, and
reconstruction of the Journal Square Plaza.
Deviation: Maximum tower diagonal measurement, driveway design, driveway width, parking stall
size, entry recess, bicycle parking, bicycle parking for garage use.
Tower 1 reduced from 57 to 46 while Tower 2 increases from 70 to 79. There is no height limit in the area as the city is strongly encouraging high density development. The 57 floor tower was planned to stand 701ft. If keeping the same ceiling heights, Tower II should may be supertall status. Not bad for good ol' Journal Square.
The public meeting is tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. If you're a Jersey City resident, come out and show your support! I'll attend and should have some updated photos by tomorrow.
