The 542-unit mixed-use residential development in Jersey City, Imperial Tower, has landed a $220 million construction loan. Integritas Capital and Kriss Capital provided the financing for the project, which is led by developers Kuldeep Sunny Kumar and Mohan Myneni.
According to the lenders, the 56-story project is slated to become one of the tallest towers in Journal Square and one of the largest ground-up developments currently underway in the submarket.
Also, Jody Kriss, founder of Kriss Capital, noted that investors continue to bet on Journal Square's strong population growth, with Imperial Tower slated to deliver more needed housing to the area.
The development will feature one-to three-bedroom residences, as well as studios and penthouse units. Of the 542 units, 57 will be designated under the affordable category. Additionally, the project will include 34,105 square feet of retail on the ground level and a Marriott-flagged hotel with 154 keys.
Another perk is that the site at 2966 John F. Kennedy Boulevard is near the Journal Square PATH station, which gets residents to Lower and Midtown Manhattan.
"Imperial Tower represents a thoughtfully planned mixed-use development in a premier transit-oriented location that addresses a growing demand for housing and hospitality in one of the region's most dynamic neighborhoods," Stephen Palmese, managing principal at Integritas Capital, said in a statement.
"Our background as developers, combined with the construction expertise embedded throughout our vertically integrated platform, enables us to assess complex projects through a lens that many traditional lenders cannot."
Imperial Tower is scheduled to deliver in 2028.
Meanwhile, Greg Willett, chief economist at LeaseLock, told GlobeSt. in November 2025 that Jersey City and surrounding areas could become winners for multifamily investment and development, following Zohran Mamdani getting elected to serve as New York City Mayor. That's because of the Democratic socialist's campaign promises, including freezing rents and cracking down on landlords failing to make sufficient repairs to buildings.
