(finally?) 'Citizens of Jersey City are the winners’: Jersey City, Kushner moves forward with Journal Square project Updated 3:51 PM; Today 3:51 PM (10-18-2020) By Adrienne Romero | The Jersey Journal After years of legal dispute, Jersey City, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA) and Kushner Companies have reached a settlement, dismissing further litigation. Construction of the proposed Journal Square twin towers is now expected to begin next year and will include a 10-level parking garage for residents, a retail and amenity space, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop said on Saturday. But the one thing the project won’t have is a tax abatement. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2020/10/citi ... urnal-square-project.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.

Six-story, 99-unit building could go up in Journal Square Updated Feb 14, 2020; Posted Feb 14, 2020 By Peter D’Auria | The Jersey Journal Journal Square could soon see a new addition to the neighborhood. 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. The proposed building comes amid a flurry of construction in the area, where the quick commute to New York City has caused real estate prices to soar. https://www.nj.com/hudson/2020/02/six- ... up-in-journal-square.html

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.

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.

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)
