When I saw this post I literally shouted "holy f***".

Damn... got me all Tourettes up'd.

This is fantastic news. Jersey City is a beast! Along with everything else in the pipeline, rising and soon to start... wow! 2000 units is much needed. Jersey City is on the path to being known as the city that builds high unit developments. 1000...1500...2000 units+, and it goes on. Start to pile on that frequency and it'll make a dent in the demand.

More waterfront development is great. It will be nice to get some renderings.

Phase 1 will feature about 50 floors and roughly 625 residences, a spokesperson for Esen told NJBIZ.

Esen anticipates construction to start on Tower 1 in summer 2026, with the building’s expected debut following in 2029. According to the company spokesperson, Esen expects to file a site permit application with the city next week. The site currently features a surface parking lot.

Apartments would range from studios to three-bedroom spaces, Esen said. Towers 2 and 3 will follow in subsequent phases.

Plans Submitted For 2,055-Unit, Three Tower Project in Jersey City


By Chris Fry
August 1, 2025

Last week, NJBiz reported on a new real estate company called Esen. The New York-based firm comprises a team of real estate veterans largely from Brookfield Properties and Forest City Realty that are collaborating with Singapore-based Croesus Group on a fresh Jersey City venture.

The property, which sits between Evertrust Plaza and Modera Lofts, is envisioned to be home to three towers totaling a whopping 2,055 units. The initial phase of the project would rise to 52 stories at the corner of Greene and Pearl Streets and top out at just under 584 feet.

The first phase would include 625 market-rate apartments, 155 parking spaces, amenity areas, and a leasing office. The remainder of the property would be used as an interim parking lot for Evertrust Plaza, with 145 spaces, while the remaining phases are built.

Speaking of those next portions, they would be even larger than the first. The second phase of the development calls for a 50-story building with 817 market-rate apartments plus 205 parking spaces. The second building would feature 3,165 square feet of retail on the ground floor.

The third and final phase would be the tallest portion, rising 57 floors and topping out at just under 650 feet tall. The final building would sit at the corner of Washington and Pearl Street and include 613 market-rate residential apartments, 1,375 square feet of retail space, plus 97,016 square feet of office space.

The final phase of the project would include 321 parking spaces and build about 30,000 square feet of publicly accessible open space. A pedestrian-only corridor connecting Washington and Greene Streets and a central courtyard and plaza adjacent to Harborside Park are planned.

I didn’t realize these had grown. Jersey City is an absolute beast when it comes to skyscraper development, punching well above its weight class.

I’m curious what US city is building a similar amount of development? Where does it rank in terms of proposals, approved developments, etc.

The only city if we sort of scale it per population, per capita, is Miami.

Miami has the most cranes out of any U.S. city at the moment and I strongly believe Jersey City, per capita, is building enough to be a solid 2nd. About 400k vs 310k population and everything going on.

Bayfront for example has more units planned and slated to rise than a place like San Francisco has approved in the last 3 years... which is bonkers. And that's just Bayfront. Thousands of units are being added for the Taiwan of NYC (Jersey City). 8000+ units with Bayfront alone. This added brings it to 10k, the recent supertall, add another 1300 units and it goes on and on.

I do think its going to accelerate, on both sides of the river. The mandate was affordability and how do we do that? More supply!

I'm eager for this boom to extend to Newark and Bayonne in time. Newark is vastly underutilized. Should be trouncing Jersey City IMO... if Newark can get its act together.

Looks interesting. I wonder what kind of retail there will be on the 1st floor. Also, is that a pedestrian walkway thru the site or open to cars?

Amended title of thread.

������Phase One: A Tower Rises

The first phase is poised to break ground at the corner of Greene and Pearl Streets and will feature a 52-story tower reaching nearly 584 feet in height. This initial tower will include 625 market-rate rental units, 155 parking spaces, resident amenities, and a leasing office. An interim 145-space surface parking lot will remain on-site to support Evertrust Plaza during construction.

������Phases Two and Three: Elevating the Skyline

The second phase envisions a 50-story tower with 817 market-rate apartments, 205 parking spaces, and approximately 3,165 square feet of ground-floor retail.

The final phase will deliver the tallest tower of the trio—57 stories and just under 650 feet high—anchoring the corner of Washington and Pearl Streets. This building will house 613 market-rate apartments, 1,375 square feet of retail, and nearly 100,000 square feet of office space. It will also introduce 321 parking spaces and a generous 30,000 square feet of public open space, including a pedestrian corridor between Washington and Greene Streets, a central courtyard, and a plaza adjacent to Harborside Park.
