Initial plans Since the mid-1980s, the property – located at the intersection of Washington Street and Bay Street, near the
Hudson River – had been intended for office development. a twin-tower apartment and retail project to be built on the property, which was being used as a parking lot. The project was to be managed by Applied. Construction of the taller tower, expected to cost $80 million, was to begin in November 2001. The complex was to cost a total of $140 million, and would be built over the following four years, with construction on the second tower beginning once the first one was mostly complete. HarborSpire did not materialize, although plans for the project were revived in 2004, as a joint development between Applied and New Jersey developer Joseph Panepinto, who shortly thereafter sold their rights to the project to Metro Homes, co-founded by Dean Geibel. Trump Plaza was designed by
DeWitt Tishman Architects LLP and was completed in 2008. The building has of space and 445 units. and the third tallest building in Jersey City. The property was scheduled for foreclosure on March 6, 2013.
Second tower The second tower, Trump Plaza II, was planned to be and have 50 floors. It was also designed by DeWitt Tishman Architects LLP. In May 2010, developer Dean Geibel retained commercial real estate firm William Procida Inc. to assist in finding investors for Trump Plaza II. The second tower was delayed, and the property for it was sold several times during the
recession. The second tower opened in November 2016. ==See also==
