Mixed-use campus envisioned as “glue” between New Jersey and New York City
Developers Argent Ventures and H&H REIT propose transforming 18 acres on the Hudson River waterfront of Jersey City, NJ, into “The Cove,” a $3 billion campus whose mix of uses would include 1.4 million square feet of lab and office space for life science and other tech users at cheaper-than-Manhattan rents—as well as skyline views of New York City.

To fill the project’s planned lab space, The Cove looks to draw upon the region’s numerous life-sci employers, New Jersey’s sizeable life-sci labor force, and Jersey City’s urban dynamic in a state where most life sciences space is within suburban or exurban lab-office campuses built a generation ago . . .
