JERSEY CITY, NJ — Kushner today unveiled the first look inside The Journal, its architectural and lifestyle flagship in the heart of Journal Square. Conceived as a next-generation residential destination, The Journal brings together design-driven living, curated cultural experiences, and unmatched urban connectivity within a pair of striking 64-story towers. Following the successful launch of Tower One, Kushner also announced that Tower Two is now officially open for leasing.

Located at 36 Journal Square Plaza, The Journal introduces 1,723 thoughtfully designed rental residences and 40,000 square feet of retail, including a highly anticipated Target store, within a nearly $1 billion development. Designed by global architecture firm Woods Bagot, with interiors by 1159, the two-tower community spans approximately 2 million square feet and anchors Jersey City’s ongoing vertical renaissance with new public greenspace, pedestrian activation, and direct access to transit. The project is proving quite popular as more than 600 leases signed in just the first three months of leasing.

“As one of the tallest new developments in Jersey City, The Journal is part of a remarkable vertical renaissance reshaping Journal Square’s skyline and economic future. By blending residential comfort with community-forward retail, greenspace, street activation, and transit, The Journal reinforces Journal Square’s role as a rising hub for culture, dining, entrepreneurship, and art. Every residence is crafted with thoughtful attention to comfort and contemporary style,” said Nicole Kushner-Meyer, President of Kushner.

The project also features a nearly one-acre public plaza at street level, a landscaped green space offering seating, gathering areas, and an inviting pedestrian experience designed to activate and enrich the neighborhood public realm. Perfectly positioned above the Journal Square PATH station, residents enjoy seamless access to lower and midtown Manhattan, Hoboken, Newark, and multiple Jersey City destinations.

The Journal offers a mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, with current grand opening incentives of up to two months free rent. Monthly rents start at: studios from $2,997; one-bedrooms from $3,479; two-bedrooms from $5,216; and three-bedrooms from $6,391.

Every residence is crafted with thoughtful attention to comfort and contemporary style, including wide-plank flooring, oversized windows with skyline and river views, premium full-sized GE stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and custom cabinetry, in-home washer and dryer, porcelanosa and Kohler bathroom finishes. Smart home features include integrated thermostats, 1Gbps high-speed internet, building-wide seamless cell service via Distributed Antenna System (DAS), and a dedicated resident app.

One of the development’s signature and compelling features is a full floor of signature lifestyle amenities across over 45,000 square feet. Curated with RH furnishings and commissioned artworks from local and regional artists, The Journal offers spaces crafted to inspire wellness, creativity, and community, across three distinct pillars: Health & Wellness, Work & Play and Lifestyle & Community.

Health & Wellness amenities include an olympic-sized indoor pool; outdoor pool with hot tub; cold plunge, sauna, and steam rooms; full basketball court; rock-climbing wall and squash courts; virtual golf simulator and bowling alley; state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga, spin, barre, and training studios.
