Did I miss something-- does it say they will all be rentals? I'm also unclear on the exact location. Would it be the parking lot next to Sanai's? Anyway, it's good that something's happening in JSQ. I hope it turns out well.

Yeah there goes the neighborhood.

I google map it but I see numerous buildings..what is getting torn down?

I'm happy new development is coming to Journal Square. 42 story residential towers..hmmm, how many levels will be for parking? I ask because parking in that area is already horrible.

Just to be clear, this is a DIFFERENT tower from the ones proposed for the vacant lot right at the PATH plaza?

The article talks about how it will be the tallest building in JSQ, and requires a variance to go this high, this sounds like an admission that the other towers probably ain't happening?

Great...but they may need to add double-decker PATH trains

So it looks like Robinhood owns….498, 502, 506, 508 Summit.

I am guessing the Summit House at 510 Summit is not involved…right?

The Newkirk House, also known as the Summit House, locateed at 510 Summmit Avenue is the oldest surviving structure in Jersey City. The two-story Dutch Colonial building, composed of sandstone, brick and clapboard dates back 1690, when it was known as the Blue Point Tavern. It was cited on a British army map drawn in 1781 for General Henry Clinton during the Revolutionary War.
