TEDx, the localized spinoff of the popular TED talks, will be returning to Jersey City this December for its fourth year.

Last week, Jersey City’s Council unanimously approved changes to the Journal Square 2060 Redevelopment Plan that they hope will facilitate a new arts district behind the Loew’s Theater.

WeWork executives seem to be at odds over whether or not Jersey City is 'cool'. Speaking during a real estate panel, one executive from the company told attendees that his firm is looking closely at Bushwick to open its next outpost, because, unlike Jersey City, it’s "cool."

Kushner Companies and The KABR Group have announced their purchase of a commercial tower at 26 Journal Square. The companies plan to turn the building into "a hub for creative firms."

A previously approved project that will fill a vacant lot in Journal Square will be made up of “coliving” spaces, a development that will bring some new housing options to the market in a neighborhood that is quickly changing.

Towering over Jersey City’s Hilltop neighborhood, the Hudson County Courthouse is a building many locals hope they never have to enter. But the hulking Beaux-Arts structure isn’t just home to plaintiffs and defendants; it’s a reminder of the city’s past and a symbol of what can happen when historical preservation is done right.

Yesterday, officials from The KABR Group and Jersey City came together for a ceremonial ground breaking on a new 5-floor rental building at 720-726 Bergen Avenue in Jersey City’s McGinley Square neighborhood. The project is the first major residential development in the area in decades.

The question of why the Loew's Journal Square has been unable to undergo a Kings Theater (Brooklyn) style full renovation under the Fulop administration (or prior administrations) and become a cultural destination with more jobs and year-round programming, is a complex one. We caught up with Friends of Loew's to get the scoop.

After years of plans, designs, false starts and a few broken hearts, the long-vacant lot at One Journal Square has both a reputable developer and an approved, supersized plan, plus another approved project across the street at an iconic building for good measure.

Jersey City’s west side has another approved development in the works, one that will replace both a beloved local restaurant and a relic of the city’s industrial age with new construction for the 21st century.
