ERSEY CITY, NJ — Ironstate Development Company , long known for transforming Downtown Jersey City with iconic resi- dential towers, is expanding its efforts west of the water- front to the City’s Lafayette neighborhood where a bur- geoning renaissance contin- ues to build momentum. The Hoboken-based real estate firm broke ground, April 10th 2018, with joint venture part- ners Brookfield Property Group and Landmark De- velopers on a new 309-unit luxury rental building.
