HWKN has announced the completion of the third and final tower of Journal Squared, a major residential development in Jersey City, New Jersey. The 59-story tower comprises 598 rental residences and nearly 18,000 square feet of amenity space. Developed in collaboration with Handel Architects, the three-tower complex now totals 1,840 apartments and 36,000 square feet of retail and dining areas. Situated adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station, the development has seen former parking lots and transit spaces converted into public areas hosting farmers’ markets, film screenings, and local events. The newly completed final tower features a panoramic sky lounge with views of Manhattan that also serves as a communal gathering space.
“Witnessing our vision materialize after a decade, and realizing the potency of our chosen design –one that blends timeless aesthetics with a socially activated base – is profoundly exhilarating,” said Matthias Hollwich, Founding Principal of HWKN, about the scheme. “The transformation from a transit hub to a thriving urban community is what Journal Squared was always meant to achieve.
