Journal Squared is a 2.3 million sq.ft. mixed-use development designed to be the linchpin in the redevelopment of Journal Square. The project transforms the traditional back door of the Journal Square PATH station into a new front door with a pedestrian plaza for community events.
By breaking the scale of the tower base into smaller volumes, the project is designed to better relate to the existing urban context. The tower massing steps back as it rises and is clad with a grid of white metal panels and punched windows. The first of three scheduled towers was completed in 2018 at 53-stories with the second, completed in 2021being 72 stories. The third tower is currently under construction.
