Construction is complete on Journal Squared Tower 3, a 60-story residential skyscraper at 595 Pavonia Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey. Designed by Handel Architects and HWKN and developed by KRE Group and National Real Estate Advisors, the 575-foot-tall tower is the final component in the $900 million, three-skyscraper Journal Squared complex, which yields a total of 2.3 million square feet above the Journal Square Transportation Center. Journal Squared Tower 1 and 2 stand 53 and 68 stories, respectively.

The Journal Squared skyscrapers feature a cohesive modernist design with grids of white paneling surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows. Sections of the buildings’ faces implement cutouts that create physical depth and emphasize their verticality.

The full Journal Squared development contains 1,840 rental residences, more than 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, and 36,000 square feet of street-level retail integrated into the Magnolia Landing plaza. The plaza was created by the developers and is intended to serve as a neighborhood food hub, hosting community events throughout the year.
Journal Squared Tower 3 houses 598 rental residences with amenities including a performance lounge, recording studio, and karaoke lounge. Additional amenities include a boxing gym, fitness center, indoor bouldering wall, library, coworking spaces, and a digital game lounge.

As we celebrate the completion of the final tower, we look forward to continuing to enhance this vibrant community.”

This building is simple but eye catching.
I walked around this project a few months ago. The cheap metal panels come down to the sidewalk and the this-and-that color splotches are a mess. The whole place a dystopian pile for suburban kids.
Standing tall in the distance with its shape can still be seen, the verticality is so striking that it drowns out everything below: Thanks.
