A major new development has been proposed for Jersey City that would reshape the city’s skyline and include a 322-meter skyscraper. 

Located at 100 Bay Street, the project from BLDG Management envisions two high-rises—one at 90 floors and the other at 40 floors—set atop a shared podium and linked by a sky bridge at the 40th floor. Designed by architecture firm Pelli Clarke & Partners, the development aims to integrate with the character of Jersey City’s Arts District while introducing a bold new architectural landmark on the Hudson River waterfront.

The 1.6-million-square-foot (148,644 square meter) complex would comprise approximately 1,300 apartments, with 20 percent designated as affordable housing. Units will range from smaller residences suited to individuals to larger layouts designed for families. Plans also include 29,000 square feet (2,694 square meters) of retail space at street level, creating an active pedestrian experience, along with amenity and recreational areas for residents.

The taller of the two buildings is planned to reach 1,055 feet (321.6 meters), positioning it as a supertall building and in the range of other residential supertalls in the region like New York’s Central Park Tower (472.4 meters), 111 West 57th Street (435.3 meters), and 432 Park Avenue (425.7 meters). The towers’ slender forms are designed to allow more daylight to reach the surrounding streets while preserving key view corridors for neighboring residents.

In addition to housing and retail components, the project will include parking for both residents and visitors and a covered entrance to reduce street congestion.

If approved, the development would mark a significant milestone in Jersey City’s ongoing transformation into a major residential and cultural hub, further establishing its place among the nation’s most architecturally ambitious urban centers.
