A major adaptive reuse venture in Downtown Jersey City has officially reached a significant milestone by topping out at 24 stories. Named The Lucy, the striking residential complex breathes new life into the former St. Lucy’s Church complex.
The ambitious project is a collaborative effort by developers SJP Properties, Claremont Development, and Battery Global Advisors. It blends modern architecture deeply with local roots, adding an innovative housing option to the urban landscape as residents look for things to do right outside their doors.

Revitalizing a Local Landmark
The transformation carefully integrates historically significant elements of the original Roman Catholic church, rectory, and school into its modern blueprint. Preserved components include the church’s main entrance doors, iron fence, tower bell, and select exterior facades.
Originally closed in the 1980s, the neglected property once landed on Preservation New Jersey’s 2018 list of the state’s most endangered places. A critical phase of the revitalization plan involved opening a new supportive housing and emergency homeless facility across the street in 2023.
