KRE, Ironstate unveil 549-unit rental tower in downtown Jersey City

Ironstate Development and KRE Group announced last week a preview leasing period for their new 46-story apartment tower in downtown Jersey City, NJBIZ reported. The 549-unit rental building at 235 Grand Street, designed by HLW with interiors from Bentel & Bentel, is rising on the site of a former Boys & Girls Club of Hudson County. The latter moved in 2014 to a new facility at 18 Park View Avenue, a 422-unit building in Jersey City also developed by Ironstate and KRE. Last week the co-developers of 235 Grand, as their project is known, unveiled a new website and renderings for the building, which expects to open its doors for occupancy in September. The Real Deal caught up with Ironstate co-founder Michael Barry earlier this year to discuss his firm’s development endeavors in the Tri-State area. [NJBIZ]
