Here's another one to add to the list.... Google: PANYNJ Journal Square Transportation Center Jollibee lease Never understood why more businesses didn't take advantage of the 26,000 commuters who use the JSquare Transportation Center every day. The Transportation Center has had large foot traffic since it opened in the 70's.

Wendy's is coming back to JSQ. Signs went up on the old Chickpea location , right by Santander Bank. KFC needs to come back to the square as well like the old times.
Of the major fast food joints, both KFC and BK are missing in Journal Square.

Bidding was open to everyone and their mother. I agree the property is probably worth more, but other developers have got to do their due diligence and submit bids. I saw this RFP on JCRA's website for over a couple months. Not like it was a secret.

They will sit on either end of a block that runs along Washburn Street, about a quarter-mile east of the Journal Square PATH transit hub. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2019/02/resi ... re-given-planning-ok.html

Shockingly sweetheart deal again from the redevelopment agency. This would have drawn double on the open market.

(saw this on Mayor Fulop?s twitter. the properties mentioned are the big parking lots on Newark Avenue up by 5 Corners. It looks like the projects will span from Newark Avenue to Cottage Street. Look at the Dream Hotel Group website within the piece they have some interesting hotels all over)

PJ Ryans in JSQ is busy at happy hour and weeknights, but pretty dead for lunch and weekend brunch.
I heard their next location to open will be in Newark by the Prudential Center.

That would be a shame, and a surprise. I haven't been there in a while, but the last time I stopped in, they were busy. I have always liked that place. Good bar food, and (usually) really good draft beer selection. I haven't visited the JSQ location (way too far for me) but I have heard it is actually really good.

i agree 150% that a museum in journal square is not the brightest idea. i think along the waterfront or near liberty science center makes more sense as it might be able to leverage off the foot traffic downtown/tourist, the mall or liberty science centerQuote:

Because the city record with museums and community centers is so great??? The previous expensively renovated museum on Montgomery was absurdly underutilized, there was a sweet little theater in there that was never used. And the school on 9th is supposed to be a community center too. Anybody ever go there? When HPNA wanted to meet there they made it such a PITA we stopped trying. I recall the gym was leased to St Anthonys to help pay the absurd cost of the building, what's doing there now? So here we go again!

Jersey City council OKs $10M deal for new museum Updated 4:51 PM; Posted 4:17 PM (1/23/2018) By Terrence T. McDonald tmcdonald@jjournal.com The Jersey Journal JERSEY CITY -- A plan to turn a county building into a city-run museum and community center advanced last night when the City Council approved a deal to borrow $10 million to buy the building and hire a consultant to help create it. The council voted 7-2 to approve the measure, a subsidy agreement between the city and the autonomous Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, which is overseeing the museum project. The deal puts the city on the hook for the $10 million the JCRA is bonding for the museum. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... m.html#incart_river_index

Eh, i get it. Have you ever actually tried to eat in JSQ? Besides a few good Indian joints on Newark, there really isnt much thats good OR interesting. It has nothing to do with ethnic. Its honestly just nothing you would want to venture out for with a date, or friends. But to answer the previous question, yes I do think some good options will start to trickle in soon

Does anyone know what % of the first Journal Square tower is rented out?
I wonder when some interesting retail & restaurants will come to the blocks right around JSQ. The cynical side of me says "never" and the block from the PATH station to Tonnelle will always be exactly as it is now. The glass half full version of me says "be patient, it will happen."

 . Giant clock planned for new Journal Square tower Updated 5:01 PM; Posted Today 5:01 PM By Terrence T. McDonald The Jersey Journal Jersey City may get its own version of Big Ben. The developers behind the three-tower Journal Squared project won approval from the city Planning Board recently to add a giant digital clock to the next tower slated for construction. Unlike London's iconic Big Ben, which sits atop a 315-foot tower, the Journal Squared timepiece will be much closer to the ground. A rendering of the building shows the clock near the ground floor of the 759-foot building. It will face south, toward the plaza that leads into the Journal Square PATH hub. Crews broke ground on the second Journal Squared tower earlier this year. The 72-story high-rise is expected to be completed in 2020. It is the tallest of the nine high-rises planned for Journal Square. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... er.html#incart_river_home .
