32 Oakland Ave is a newly developed, state-of-the-art 16-story mixed-use property located in the heart of Jersey City's rapidly evolving Journal Square neighborhood. The building features 297 residential units above approximately 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, complemented by outdoor areas that create opportunities for a variety of neighborhood-serving commercial uses.
Positioned within Jersey City's Central Business District, the property benefits from a dense and growing residential base. The immediate trade area is home to approximately 21,681 residents with a median age of 34, providing a strong customer foundation for retailers, service providers, and community-oriented businesses. Journal Square continues to experience significant residential growth, with approximately 15,000 apartment units planned, under construction, or recently delivered throughout the neighborhood, further expanding the area's consumer base.
The property is surrounded by major demand generators and newly completed developments, including the new $400 million Hudson County Courthouse immediately adjacent to the site, as well as nearby residential projects at 345 Baldwin Avenue (116 units) and 348 Baldwin Avenue (45 units). Dickinson High School, serving approximately 2,000 students, is also located nearby, contributing additional daily foot traffic and activity.
Accessibility is a key advantage, with the Journal Square Transportation Center and PATH Station located less than a 10-minute walk away, providing direct connections to Manhattan, Newark, and other regional destinations. Downtown Jersey City is approximately a 15-minute walk from the property, further enhancing its visibility and accessibility within one of Hudson County's most active urban corridors.
The retail component offers flexibility for a variety of uses and is particularly well suited for childcare, grocery, specialty food, medical, wellness, and neighborhood-serving retail concepts. Additional mezzanine and basement space is available and is serviced by a private elevator, providing unique opportunities for operators seeking expanded storage, back-of-house functionality, educational facilities, fitness concepts, or multi-level retail operations.
