Park Tower Approved with Affordable Housing

Jersey City just approved a towering leap forward: Park Tower, a 47-story mixed-use skyscraper in Journal Square, bringing over a thousand new homes, a boutique hotel, and retail—all without parking, but packed with bike space and historic Newark Avenue facade elements. Residents will enjoy rooftop lounges and gyms starting on the fourth floor. The project includes 105 affordable units, mostly two- and three-bedroom options for low- and very low-income families, sparking debate among union members about long-term impact and bird-friendly building compliance. Despite concerns, the Planning Board unanimously greenlit the project, praising the affordable housing mix—even as some called for more.
