Joel Namdar’s Namdar Group nabbed $243 million in financing for two rental buildings in Jersey City’s Journal Square as construction in the neighborhood takes off.

The Great Neck-based developer scored a $160 million construction loan for its 27-story tower at 626 Newark from SCALE Lending. The building will have 576 units, 9,915 square feet of street-level retail and 17,747 square feet of office space. It is expected to be completed in 2026. 

SCALE will also provide a $83 million bridge loan for 26 Van Reipen, which will replace an existing $73 million loan. The new debt will be used to fund the lease-up of the 27-story, 235-unit building. The rental building was completed last year. The building’s retail and office portion are master leased to CMPND, an apartment and co-working community. 

Drew Fletcher and Bryan Grover of Greystone Capital Advisors arranged the financing.

SCALE, the lending arm of Slate Property Group, is an active lender to Namdar Group in Journal Square. Last summer, SCALE provided a $160 million loan for Namdar’s rental project at 618 Pavonia.

Namdar is building a massive 640-unit development in Downtown Miami. The developer also secured a loan for that project from SCALE. 

Jersey City’s Journal Square has become one of the hottest areas for new development in the tri-state. Its proximity to the PATH train and to Manhattan has led developers like Kushner Companies, Silverstein Properties and BH3 to build high-rise rental buildings in the neighborhood.
