They're awfully ugly coming in from the pike blocking out the beauty of the NYC skyline, but when you stand in front of them on the street--phew...just plain tasteless.
Box living in the air.... Pity the neighborhoods and the people. Those things will cast shadows quite a ways.

KRE Group breaks ground on Journal Squared’s third tower, shows off second tower viewsPrincipals from KRE Group and National Real Estate Advisors, LLC Tuesday marked two significant milestones at Journal Squared, the high-rise apartment complex with awe-inspiring views in Jersey City’s historic Journal Square neighborhood. The development partners, along with Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, celebrated the five-month lease-up of Journal Squared’s 704-unit second tower and broke ground on the project’s third and final building, a 60-story high-rise comprising 600 rental residences. Located at Pavonia and Summit avenues and with direct access to the Journal Square Transportation Center, the three-tower development will ultimately total 1,840 rental residences and 36,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space in 53-, 60- and 68-story buildings. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2021/10/kre- ... d-tower-views-photos.html

You do realize KUSHNER COMPANIES is NOT developing Journal Squared. KRE group is Journal Squared, they are two different companies. That being said, this article has nothing to do with this thread.

Kushner Companies subpoenaed over use of visa program: report
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 08/02/17 08:53 PM EDT New York federal prosecutors subpoenaed Kushner Companies, the real estate development company owned by the family of President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, over its use of a visa program that offers green cards to wealthy foreign investors. The subpoena was received by Kushner Companies in May, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, and regards the company's use of the EB-5 visa program to finance a development in Jersey City, N.J. called One Journal Square. It isn't clear what potential violations the Brooklyn U.S. attorney's office is looking into. The EB-5 visa program offers green cards to foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in U.S. businesses that would create at least 10 permanent, full-time jobs for American workers. The company launched a marketing campaign in Beijing and Shanghai in May seeking Chinese investors. That campaign promised green cards for as many as 300 people who invested the requisite $500,000 in One Journal Square. Kushner Companies came under fire in May after Kushner's sister Nicole Meyer, a principal at the company, mentioned her brother's service in the Trump administration during a pitch to investors in Beijing. The company later apologized for the remarks and said that Meyer's statement was not intended to use Kushner's work in the Trump administration to attract investors. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefin ... -of-the-eb-5-visa-program

Exclusive: Jared Kushner's White House connection still being used to lure Chinese investors
By Drew Griffin and Curt Devine, CNN Investigates Updated 9:22 PM ET, Thu July 20, 2017 Jared Kushner's status as a top aide to President Donald Trump was used to lure Chinese investors to his family's New Jersey development, even after his family's company apologized for mentioning his name during a sales pitch in May, CNN has found. References to Kushner are part of online promotions by two businesses that are working with Kushner Companies to find Chinese investors willing to invest in the 1 Journal Square development in exchange for a US visa. The promotions are posted in Chinese and refer to Kushner Companies as "real estate heavyweights," going on to mention "the celebrity of the family is 30-something 'Mr. Perfect' Jared Kushner, who once served as CEO of Kushner Companies."

U.S. Senator calls for probe into promotion of Kushner Cos deal
Mon May 29, 2017 | 3:07am EDT By Alexandra Harney | SHANGHAI The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee has called for an investigation into "potentially fraudulent statements and misrepresentations" made by companies promoting investment in a property development involving the family company of White House advisor Jared Kushner. Citing a May 12 report by Reuters, Chuck Grassley, a Republican senator from Iowa, requested a review of claims made by Chinese migration agency Qiaowai and the U.S. Immigration Fund (USIF) in the marketing of the One Journal Square project in Jersey City, New Jersey to potential investors in China. . . . Criticism of the program has centered on instances of fraud and the fact that most of the funds in a program originally intended to help impoverished areas have instead gone to wealthy urban districts. . . . http://www.reuters.com/article/us-chi ... ner-qiaowai-idUSKBN18P0J9

Now if President Trump had put that program in place-that'd be a story! But it's been an ongoing program for years, with great benefits for construction jobs that may not have existed if funding for buildings wasn't there. Another mouseburger story, and calling it 'controversial' while it's been in existence since 1990-and Obama didn't seem to mind it.

Kushners know it helps to have friends in the oval office | Editorial
Updated on May 24, 2017 at 11:10 AM Posted on May 24, 2017 at 11:00 AM BY STAR-LEDGER EDITORIAL BOARD eletters@starledger.com President Trump kept the government open recently by signing a $1.1 trillion appropriations bill, and tucked into that 1,665-page monstrosity was one paragraph that enables wealthy foreigners to buy American citizenship. The next day, Nicole Kushner Meyer addressed an audience in a Ritz-Carlton ballroom in Beijing, where she used that wee item in the spending bill - which extends the controversial EB-5 visa program through September - to help rich Chinese investors obtain green cards and fast-track their American dream. All it takes was a half-million bucks, which Ms. Kushner Meyer would plunge in her company's luxury apartment towers in Jersey City. Remember how Trump said we'd never have to worry about whether his family's global business interests would influence how he governs? This isn't one of those cases.

Green card 'guaranteed' for Journal Square investment: report
Posted on May 20, 2017 at 2:38 PM BY MARGARET SCHMIDT The Jersey Journal Green cards were "guaranteed" for potential mega-investors in a Kushner project in Jersey City's Journal Square, but the "green'' had nothing to do with solar energy, according to a new report on the project. Rather, it referred to $500,000 from Chinese investors looking to get visas through the controversial EB-5 visa program, The New York Times reports. Potential investors were told it was a virtual certainty to work, the newspaper said, because of the project's ties to President Trump and the first family. "They said the president would make sure it came through," the Times quoted Lu Ling, a technology executive in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, as saying. "They said there was no chance it could fail." http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... en.html#incart_river_home

I hope the project stalls for a long time. We are over-developing.
If you think trains are packed already heading into grove and onto the city, just wait until all of these new projects in Journal Square are filled with people. More people with no new infrastructure.

I pushed 8 years ago, to turn this site into a large scale outdoor flea market which is in a great location due to the access to the PATH. I was told the site was owned and would be turned over for development very soon. That was 8 years ago. I think its time to revisit new options for that site again.

Interesting to see how this plays out. I find it hard to believe that Fulop was unaware of this. Remember... " In Jersey City, where Kushner Cos. has invested in five major projects in recent years, both Jared and his father have a close relationship with Mayor Steve Fulop. Fulop has received glowing coverage in the New York Observer, and as the Kushners were developing Trump Tower in Jersey City in 2014, they hired one of Fulop?s closest political strategists to work as an expediter on the project."

Somehow people get riled up over foreigners putting up half a million dollars to invest in the US, but support other foreigners swimming across the Rio Grande with their hands out. Amazing.

The Kushner Project Touted in China Is in Trouble at HomeBLOOMBERG byCaleb MelbyandDavid Kocieniewski - May 8, 2017, 6:03 PM EDT When Jared Kushner’s sister took the stage in two Chinese ballrooms over the weekend to urge investors to fund a New Jersey development through a controversial visa program, she mentioned her brother’s role in the White House and displayed a photo of President Donald Trump. It was a not-so-subtle signal that hers is a family company with connections. What she didn’t mention was that the project has suffered a slew of problems: the exit of its anchor tenant, the loss of millions in tax breaks and a curdling political relationship with the mayor of its host city. The previously unreported exit by tenant WeWork -- which is also expected to sell its stake in the project -- as well as the mayor’s shift, add up to a sharp reversal of fortunes that led the family company to do what it has done before: seek Chinese investors. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/article ... ina-is-in-trouble-at-home

Kushner Companies apologizes for pitch to Chinese investorsBy Kushner Companies, the development firm formerly run by presidential adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, apologized today for statements made in Beijing regarding the One Journal Square project in Jersey City. Nicole Kushner Meyer, Kushner's sister, mentioned her brother at a conference for wealthy Chinese investors as she tried to convince them to invest in the $821 million, two-tower project. "In the course of discussing this project and the firm's history with potential investors, Ms. Meyer wanted to make clear that her brother had stepped away from the company in January and has nothing to do with this project," the company said in a statement. "Kushner Companies apologizes if that mention of her brother was in any way interpreted as an attempt to lure investors. That was not Ms. Meyer's intention." http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... for_pitch_to_chinese.html
