Jared Kushner (AKA Mr. Ivanka Trump) said in a statement, “We are bullish on Jersey City, as evidenced by this investment as well as our strong development history in the market. We look forward to unveiling plans for One Journal Square that will help drive the city’s continued renaissance.”
A source close to the deal told The New York Post, “We are very focused on Jersey City. A big arts culture is growing in Jersey City.”
Kushner and KABR are already working on two other projects in Jersey City. One, located across the street at 30 Journal Square, will be a 40 story residential building. The other is a 50 story, $194 million luxury residential building currently under construction at 65 Bay St.
