Construction is complete on Journal Square Urby, a 25-story residential tower at 532 Summit Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey. Designed by HLW Architects and Concrete Amsterdam and developed by Urby, Panepinto Properties, and Kimmel, the 265-foot-tall structure yields 317 apartments in studio to three-bedroom layouts. Move-ins began in mid-October.

Amenities include a roof-level heated swimming pool, dog park, a fitness center, and bicycle storage.
One of the project’s most striking details is a mural that covers the entire southern elevation of the tower. The mural was completed by Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone, and is his largest to date.
