Ironstate Development and Panepinto Properties are continuing to build out their multi-tower Columbus Drive development in Jersey City, with its highrises forming notable peaks on the booming skyline. Appointed with timeless designs by Gwathmey, Siegel, Kaufman and Associate Architects and HLW International, the under-construction phase of the project builds on the success of 50 Columbus, which leased all of its 400 units within the first year of delivery.
The follow-up is 70 Columbus, launched in the fall of 2015 with its 50 storeys, 545 units, and ground-level retail spaces. That has been accompanied by the newly opened 152-key Marriott Residence Inn at 80 Columbus. The latest tower joining the complex is 90 Columbus, approved for 539 units and scheduled for completion in 2018. The buildings come with a broad package of amenities, from swimming pools and recreation spots to sweeping rooftop decks.
A recent album of images posted to our Forum by towerpower123 shows 90 Columbus — architecturally identical to the completed 70 Columbus — climbing and receiving cladding. The Marriott Hotel is uniquely situated at the corner, forming a flatiron-style shape, perhaps a modern interpretation of the historic Manhattan building.
Jersey City is in the midst of an urban renaissance not unlike what Brooklyn has experienced. With its proximity to one of the world's most important economic capitals in New York City serving as a key draw, Jersey City has become one of the fastest growing metropolises in the country. And the skyline is responding to the increase in population, with new highrises near the Hudson River offering cafes, restaurants, and retail at their feet.
