Journal Squared, Residential complex in Journal Square, Jersey City, US.
Journal Squared is a residential complex in Jersey City consisting of three towers of varying heights positioned beside the Journal Square Transportation Center. The buildings combine housing with retail spaces and public plazas that are accessible to both visitors and residents.
Journal Squared was approved by the Jersey City council in December 2012 and received a 30-year tax abatement and $10 million in bonds. Construction broke ground in October 2014; the first tower topped out in December 2015 at 54 stories and 574 ft. The second tower began in 2018 and topped out in December 2019, while the third broke ground in October 2021. All three phases were completed in July 2024, with a ribbon-cutting for the third tower in November 2024.
The complex takes its name from Journal Square, the transit hub beside it, and its plaza is designed as open space for public gatherings in a densely built area. The site faces the Hudson County Administration Building and the Newkirk House, the oldest surviving building in Hudson County.
The complex sits directly next to public transit, making it very easy to reach by PATH train. Visitors can explore the public areas and plaza distributed around the towers.
Residents access an 8th-floor podium connecting all towers and a 53rd-floor Sky Lounge providing views of Manhattan and Jersey City.
