West Side Square marked a significant step forward in its transformative journey with the topping-off of its first residential tower, The Residences at West Side Square.
The celebration on Wednesday brought together city leaders, creative collaborators, and community members to honor the future of Jersey City’s West Side.
West Side Square is being developed through a collaborative partnership between Lanterra Developments, Westdale Properties, Lantree Developments and Altree Developments.
Located at 1075 West Side Ave., the ceremony commemorated the structural completion of the 12-story tower that will soon introduce 834 rental residences, anchoring a mixed-use destination set to include a vibrant outdoor piazza, curated retail, pet-friendly amenities, a lobby café, restaurants, and public art installations.
Inspired by Jersey City’s industrial heritage, this pedestrian-friendly space will feature cobblestone walkways, open-air markets, and an evolving arts and music scene, making it a true cultural destination. The project is a fusion of public and private spatial design, seamlessly integrating sophisticated living spaces with communal areas to establish a unique destination that fosters connection and engagement for both residents and visitors.
The event kicked off on the amenities deck with remarks from the team behind the project, including Zev Mandelbaum, president and CEO of Altree Developments; Raphael Mandelbaum, principal and vice president of Lantree Developments and Mitchell Cohen. They were joined by Hudson County Commissioner William O’Dea and Senator Raj Mukherji, who presented a Senate Proclamation recognizing the project’s contribution to the revitalization of Jersey City’s West Side and its role in shaping the city’s future.
Afterward, guests had the opportunity to explore the expansive amenities deck, which includes resort-style pools, private cabanas, a screening theater, and a dedicated podcast room, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle envisioned for West Side Square
Conveniently located within walking distance of the Journal Square PATH station, West Side Square offers residents access to Manhattan and the greater tri-state area.
Set for completion in Summer 2026, West Side Square will serve as a focal point in Jersey City’s ongoing transformation into a cultural and creative epicenter, weaving into the fabric of the city’s future.
