I believe that's phase IV.3.iii of the gleaming swamp metropolis envisioned in the early aughts for Secaucus Junction/Xanadu-American Dream.

Like everything else there, I'm surprised it's gotten this far, and not at all surprised at its clusterfuckedness.

The clusterfuck in NJ tends to come after.

No way a building that size in a swamp doesn’t have major issues in 10-15y when the developer moves on and someone else is libel. Then government entities having to get involved because it poses a imminent threat to safety.

I'd look to Harmon Cove for an alternative take, but damned if I know what keeps that alive.
