MORRISTOWN, March 15, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the $58 million refinancing for 3 Journal Square, a 240-unit, luxury, mid-rise multi-housing apartment building located in Jersey City, New Jersey.

JLL represented the borrower, 3 Journal Square Urban Renewal, LLC, to secure the seven-year, fixed-rate loan through a life insurance company.

Built in 2017, 3 Journal Square offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units with bright, open layouts, full-size washers and dryers, chestnut wood vinyl flooring, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom kitchen cabinetry and quartz bathroom countertops. Community amenities include a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, a yoga studio, a resident lounge with fire place and billiards, a rooftop deck with Manhattan skyline views and lounge areas and more.

Situated at 2955 John F.

Additionally, the property is proximate to major north-south and east-west road corridors, as well as the connections to the New Jersey Turnpike and Pulaski Skyway. The community is approximately three miles from the World Trade Center and New York City’s financial district, nine miles from Midtown Manhattan and seven miles from downtown Newark.
