Wall Street West

Downtown Jersey City's waterfront, located on the Hudson River, is dubbed Wall Street West.[1]

Wall Street West is a name used by real estate developers, city officials, and news media in the United States[2] to call particular streets or places west of Manhattan, New York City that have a high concentration of Wall Street financial companies or a major exchange. The most notable for that is along the Hudson River waterfront of Jersey City, New Jersey.[3] By the early 2020s, the construction of residential skyscrapers downtown made median rental rates in Jersey City among the highest of any city in the United States.[4]
