Connell Foley LLP’s Charles J. Harrington and Thomas Leane represented Journal Square Tower LLC in obtaining site plan approval from the Jersey City Planning Board for a transformative 56-story mixed-use development in Journal Square. The project includes 542 residential units (63 affordable units), 154 hotel rooms, two retail spaces, office, banquet facilities, two restaurants and 202 parking spaces. This is the first project in the Journal Square 2060 Redevelopment Plan area to implement the new affordable housing zoning and the related zoning accommodations adopted by Jersey City in August 2024. A corner lot located at 2966 John F. Kennedy Boulevard and 69 Cottage Street (the former Pep Boys Auto shop property), this project represents the continued transformation in Journal Square and a commitment to urban growth and housing needs.
