The James Monroe, Residential building in Jersey City, United States.
The James Monroe is a 34-story residential building in Jersey City built with concrete and glass, designed with modern architectural elements and four elevators serving the floors.
Built in 1989, the tower emerged as Jersey City began major urban redevelopment after decades as an industrial port and manufacturing center.
The building marks how Jersey City shifted from an industrial past to a residential destination for workers and professionals commuting to Manhattan.
The building sits near public transportation stations, with direct PATH train access to Manhattan just steps away for daily commuters.
This structure was among the first major high-rise residential projects in Jersey City, opening the door for the construction boom that followed in the coming decade.
