JOURNAL SQUARE
TOWERS
LOCAL 253 • JERSEY CITY, NJ
The rst building of the new Journal Square Towers was recently completed on Pavonia Avenue in Jersey City as a result of the skilled work of more than 500 Union Carpenters. The $204 million tower was completed in July 2017 after nearly two years of labor from Union workers. The nished residential tower, located above the PATH trainline is 54 oors and houses 538 apartments. It also contains a sky lounge, outdoor pool, gym, library and screening room. Plans are
also in place for the construction of six additional residential towers in the vicinity, including two-tower developments south of the PATH hub and another on the site of the old Jersey Journal building. Construction on the second tower, which will cost an estimated $250 million, is expected to start in early 2018.
