The hulking, 781-foot-high Goldman Sachs tower at 30 Hudson Street in Jersey City is like the Rock of Gilbraltar to Lower Manhattan’s famed skyline: massive and impressive. To some, perhaps, it conjures a Monty Python catapult or a very steep cliff on which to mount the Guns of Navarone for an assault on Lower Manhattan. It dominates the Jersey City skyline, which is a bit Spartan, especially in comparison with Brooklyn’s. Most of the skyscrapers in Brooklyn, however, are not directly on the waterfront and the Goldman tower is very much “in your face” on the water. Furthermore, all of a relative sudden, Jersey City is about to explode with three taller towers, which I can only describe as delirious, dancing, shimmy-shimmy-shake buildings with drop-dead vistas of Manhattan and the Hudson.
That last rendering is actually from a real image. It is a pier in the shape of a 'P' that juts out into the Hudson near Exchange Place.
Yes, here's a pic I took last year from walking out on the pier...
Compared to this rendering...

I don't think 2017 will happen. This would have to haul ass to finish by the end of 2017.
Holy s***, that building is sexy, such a good spot for it too, it will definitely make that Jersey City skyline pop....(which for some reason I almost wrote, Jerky City....meh, that works too.)
