海角社区

Jersey City is a city in the northern parts of the US state of New Jersey. Jersey City is close to the Hudson River, Hackensack River, Upper New York Bay, and Newark Bay. The first building ever to be considered as a skyscraper in the area was the Labor Bank Building (or 26 Journal Square currently) which was completed in 1928. The early 1990s saw Jersey City experiencing a small growth surge in building construction. By the late 1990s, the surge had increased massively as evidenced by an increase in the number of high-rises for commercial and residential use. Some of the tallest buildings in the city were constructed during this time including the Harborside Financial Center and 30 Hudson Street. As it stands, there are over thirty-five high-rises with heights of 300 feet or more. This high number of tall buildings makes Jersey City鈥檚 skyline the fifth tallest in the northeastern region.
