City Center - Journal Square
I gotta say this is quite an ambitious project....

"Construction on the $500 million Journal Square twin towers project will begin before the end of the year, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy and other officials said at a news conference this morning." (4/7/2009)
"Liz Opacity, a spokeswoman for the project, said the mixed-use development, which will include 1,615 rental units, 70,000 square feet of retail space and a rooftop terrace on top of a parking garage, would take three years to complete once construction started. " (4/7/2009"

This specific community has gone through revision after revision. These buildings at one point were going to be condos, condos and rentals, and now both towers appear to be rentals. I am assuming they had challenges with construction financing if the two towers were going to condos, but that all seems to be in the past now and they are moving forward. I believe they just finished the majority of demolition a few days ago.
Given the construction start date, by the time these towers are done we will likely be in a dramatically different economic cycle so stay tuned for the latest.
Every day above ground is a good day.
