ENLARGE Rendering of what Journal Square might look like with more open space and high-rise buildings Colorful renderings of what Journal Square might look like after a multi-billion dollar redevelopment project , which was announced today by Mayor Jerramiah Healy, bear little resemblance to the Journal Square of today. In fact, the iconic Loew's Theatre (pictured above) is the only existing building noticeable in the renderings submitted by A. Nelessen Associates/Dean Marchetto Architects. The Google Map below shows (what looks like) the opposite view from the image above.

But other buildings, such as 26 Journal Square , the Journal Square Transportation Center , and the Jersey Journal Building (the Square is named after the Journal, after all) are nowhere in sight. Instead there are sky-high apartment and office buildings, massive billboards, walkways, trees and a shiny new PATH station entrance, making the old Jersey City neighborhood look more like Manhattan's Times Square , but with more grass and less traffic.
