“With our capital improvement program at 95 Columbus, we set out to create Jersey City’s most contemporary, productive, and inspired work environment, and a place where 21st century creative companies can thrive,” said David Cheikin, senior vice president, asset management and leasing for Columbia. “We believe 95 Columbus will be a magnet for forward-looking companies seeking a premier office experience with the convenience and energy of its prime Grove Street neighborhood location, as well as its unparalleled easy transit access to suburban neighborhoods around the area.”

In addition, 95 Columbus is getting an air filtration system, automated digital access for elevators, and portal entries that require minimal touch points for tenants.
