I would say
do forget about that one. This one makes sense for it's location, and is about a parcel that has been slated for residential highrise development. The other is more about casinos, and racing, and other such nonsense, carrots dangled before the eyes of politicians who would welcome any massive development.

I saw that the mayor said this would be something to put Jersey City more on the map.
I would say it will do so in the way the Goldman Sachs did (or even the Citgroup in Queens). From what we've seen so far, it's a larger version of a big tower that just happens to be the biggest on the skyline.
For a skyline defining tower, or something to identify Jersey City as more than just backdrop to the lower Manhattan skyline, the design needs much more.
The base is fine for where it is.
Also, it's just a PATH stop away from the WTC and all of the development taking place there. It will be attractive to a lot of people.
I did see on the news some people being concerned and amazed at the scale of the tower, which I found hilarious because you could see the Freedom Tower looming in the background.
