JERSEY CITY, NJ — Kushner has selected Manhattan-based The Marketing Directors as the exclusive marketing and leasing agent for The Journal, its highly anticipated mixed-use development in Jersey City’s thriving Journal Square. The project, which is slated to begin pre-leasing in early 2025, features two 64-story towers that are now topped out and poised to redefine the neighborhood’s skyline. The Journal honors the rich legacy of Journal Square as a hub of business, culture, and connectivity. The transformative development is set to bring a new level of residential sophistication and retail convenience to the area, marking a key milestone in the district’s ongoing resurgence.
“The Journal represents an exciting new chapter for Journal Square and Jersey City, bringing Kushner’s extraordinary vision for elevated city living to life,” said Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors. “We look forward to introducing prospective residents to the remarkable lifestyle, amenities, and connectivity this development offers. It’s a true testament to Jersey City’s growth, and we’re confident it will resonate with the community.”
The nearly $1 billion development will create over 2 million square feet of thoughtfully designed space, including 1,723 rental residences and 45,000 square feet of upscale amenities. The project’s 40,000 square feet of ground-floor retail has been leased by Target, promising convenient shopping for residents while serving as a valuable neighborhood asset for the community at large. Prominently positioned adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station, The Journal will provide easy access to Manhattan and beyond, while residents will enjoy sweeping views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline.
In preparation for the pre-leasing launch, Kushner has unveiled a teaser website at www.journaljc.com where prospective residents can register for exclusive updates and be among the first to be contacted.
Designed by the global architectural firm Woods Bagot, The Journal is characterized by a slender, vertical profile and a series of stepped volumes that harmonize with the surrounding neighborhood. Complementing the residences and retail, a .92-acre public plaza adorned with lush landscaping and inviting seating areas will open onto John F. Kennedy Boulevard, fostering community engagement and enriching the neighborhood’s dynamic urban fabric.
Amenities at The Journal will encompass a wide array of health, wellness, and recreational options, including an Olympic-size indoor pool, whirlpool spa, sauna, steam rooms, bowling alley, golf simulator, and multiple lounges. The property will also feature dedicated co-working spaces, a chef’s kitchen, and a children’s club, while a state-of-the-art fitness center will offer yoga and spin rooms, a full-size indoor basketball court, a rock-climbing wall, and squash courts. Rooftop terraces and an outdoor pool with whirlpool will provide coveted outdoor spaces and breathtaking views. The amenity offerings will also include a full-service lifestyle concierge available to fulfill every resident’s needs, from coordinating moving and cleaning to pet sitting services. Residents will enjoy a variety of programming, featuring engaging events, fitness classes, and more.
