About the The James Monroe
The James Monroe, a residential skyscraper named for James Monroe, towers over Jersey City's Newport district. It was completed in 1989 with 34 floors and a height of 95 m (312 ft). The condominium tower holds 443 units: studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and three-bedroom duplexes.
Three companies developed it: the Lefrak Organization (from Rego Park, Queens), Melvin Simon & Associates (Indianapolis) and the Glimcher Company (Columbus, Ohio). Samuel J. LeFrak first inspected the site in 1983; it offered Manhattan skyline views, rail links and closeness to the city. Construction began in 1986 and finished in 1989.
The tower rose early in the 1980s and 1990s transformation of Jersey City's largely abandoned, post-industrial waterfront into an upscale residential neighborhood. Its closeness to Manhattan drew attention from New Yorkers right away. A real estate recession that lasted until 1995 arrived soon after the 1989 opening, and in 1991 the company missed a mortgage payment and renegotiated it.
