In the future, this will be a nice walkable plaza with towers on either side

618 Pavonia in the foreground

I understand this to be the mural design that will be installed on the east-facing facade.

I suppose this will be put on hold temporarily since Katerra looks like they’ll be shutting down.

Probably…We can hope that the owners/ developer will get a new GC soon to get things running again. Calls are definitely going out for other Katerra jobs in Jersey City.

[Oreo_Zchut]

Katerra had a lot of projects in Jersey City and the area. Definitely going to slow down for a bit.

Looks like they changed the artwork. I liked the one you posted better but this one is also good.

[lammius]

Yeah. The original artist had to bail (never learned why) and a new artist was picked.

[colrain]

Looks like eutrochium purpureum. Good native plant.

[bkhights]

Are they required to mural large blank walls like this in JC?

[lammius]

The redevelopment plan for this neighborhood requires them to do something to it, be that a mural, some sort of facade treatment that breaks it up, etc.

[Oreo_Zchut]

This building’s open, saw some tenants coming out of it

[apophenic]

Yeah I saw some U Haul trucks in front today! People moving in.

[the726]

Taken the other day from a car, hence the weird blue filter lol. Huge change from just a few years ago.

[the726]

Definitely finished. The coffeeshop on the ground floor is already open as well. Moved it to completed.

[Jaydayvis]

Amazing. It’s so good to see that area of JC brighten up. It’s never good to have a bunch of skyscrapers bunched together in one place without business/retail/cafes available. Journal Square is developing at a rapid place, and I am hoping the new cafe gets good business!
