Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
CetraRuddy together with developer HAP Investments have unveiled the design for a new highrise residential building in Jersey City.
Located at 500 Summit Avenue, the building will eventually tower 42 storeys above the Journal Square section of the city and comprise 902 rental apartments.
The tower design features a cream-hued tower punctuated by large windows and a prismatic finish that will offer surround views across the river to Manhattan, in a prominent part of Jersey City that has convenient access to the PATH train.
Plans include the construction of a new public park, retail stores, a 200-vehicle parking garage, and an 8,500-square-foot community center. Designs for the park include an open-air terrace with seating, a playground, pedestrian footpaths, and a dog run.
A community center will contain a mix of flexible meeting rooms for art and culture classes, all enclosed in a sloped glass façade.
The roof of the center will support outdoor seating and modest greenery.
Our goal is to create a destination that serves not only the residents of 500 Summit Avenue, but the entire neighborhood as well.
