Have not kept up a current list on this thread.
Funny there is so much new construction from small projects to massive ones it is hard to keep track. Amazing.

(Looks like this major project is on again. Seems the “good” Kushner (lol) is now doing it) Kushners look behind Loew’s theater for next Journal Square skyscrapers Updated: Aug. 29, 2022, 6:16 p.m.|Published: Aug. 29, 2022, 4:33 p.m. By Teri West | The Jersey Journal London? Vegas? Los Angeles? No thanks, the Kushners say. We prefer Journal Square. The New Jersey real-estate mogul family is continuing to lay out transformative plans to reshape the Jersey City neighborhood with skyscrapers. This time, and for the first time ever, the skyscraping is headed to the western side of Kennedy Boulevard, behind the historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre. There, the KRE Group, the masterminds behind Journal Squared — the two towers (and a third under construction) that have made the neighborhood identifiable from miles away — plan to build two new towers, one 55 stories tall and the other at 49. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2022/08/kush ... l-square-skyscrapers.html

I have been hoping for a project like this. My wish though was to be higher density allowed in return for extending the light rail through the Bergen Arches, integrating a station(s) into the project. There is an available unused rail right of way that could extend the line from Hoboken.

Uninspired and looks incredibly dated. Like something considered modern in the late 70s, early 80s. Lots of similar looking buildings from around that time all over the world. Very disappointing design, really.

Jersey City?s zoning board will meet Thursday to discuss granting variances that would allow a developer to build a six-story, 99-unit building at the northern corner of Journal Square.

Federal judge tosses Kushner Companies lawsuit over $821 million One Journal Square project Updated 1:49 PM; Today 1:36 PM (08/08/2019) By Ron Zeitlinger | The Jersey Journal A federal judge has dismissed an 11-count lawsuit against Jersey City by the Kushner family?s development firm over the $821 million One Journal Square project that would have brought two residential skyscrapers to the heart of the city. The 19-page ruling, issued Wednesday, rejected the claims that the city voided the redevelopment agreement with Kushner Companies and its partner, KABR, because of ?political animus toward President Trump.? Jared Kushner, the president?s son-in-law, was CEO of the company until he stepped down to take a position in his father-in-law?s administration. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2019/08/fede ... urnal-square-project.html

Yeah, not the greatest diner, but one of the few late night options and one of the few non-fast food options. i really hope they start throwing more decent food options into this hood.
also, hoping this isnt going to be the pharmacy with surface parking that was proposed there a couple years back. there are literally 3 pharmacies within 1/4 mile from that location.

To think of all of the power brokering and envelope passing that has happened at that place over the years. An institution in Hudson County politics.
