History

Plans for the development were first released in March 2014.[3] Originally, the plans called for twin towers, but after the land changed hands, the plans were changed to a single, 950 feet (290 m) tower.[4] The building was approved in early 2015 by the city.[5]

The building was approved by the FAA in early 2016; buildings taller than 899 feet (274 m) in Jersey City must seek FAA approval.[6] Ground was broken on January 29, 2016.[7] The building topped-out in September 2018.[8]

Architectural Details

The building is a 79-story, 900 ft (274 m) tall residential skyscraper. The building takes up an entire city block in downtown. It has a porte-cochere entrance, where the lobby is located, as well as the entrance to the parking garage. The building has a limestone and glass facade, echoing to Art Deco Style. The building contains three open plazas, and a residential rooftop garden above an eight-story podium. Along the sidewalk, there are storefronts with large windows between limestone piers. At night, lighting features on the piers will light up.[9][10]

Usage

The building will be residential, and will include 781 condominiums.[11] The penthouse, located on the 75th floor, costs $4.05 million.[12] There is 65,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor amenities. This includes a fitness center, yoga studio, Pilates studio, and an entertainment game center which includes card rooms, pool, Foosball tables, a golf simulator, a children's playroom, a demonstration kitchen, work cafe, and a screening room with a bar. The rooftop contains a garden. There is a 24-hour concierge. Residents have an exclusive spa, which includes a hot tub, wet and dry lounges, steam room, dry sauna, showers, spa terrace and private massages. The 8th floor contains an amenity deck, which contains a 3,000 sq ft swimming pool, private cabanas, indoor and outdoor lounges, and a dining area with BBQ grills, a playground, dog run, and a green lawn. Pedestrian plazas and open spaces are an additional 7,500 sq ft.[10][13]
