In addition to residential units, the building will feature square feet of ground-floor retail space (which will be occupied by a new Target location), and a large, enclosed parking garage, with enough room for vehicles.

The project has been a long time coming, with the lot having sat vacant since 2009. Kushner Companies and KABR Group purchased the lot right at the end of 2014, and the development went through several design iterations before receiving approval from the Jersey City Planning Board in January of 2021. On June 16th, 2022, the project finally broke ground, and construction is now expected to wrap up sometime in 2026.
