The S. A. Wald Company Building was demolished to make way for Liberty Towers, which were originally called "Liberty View Towers".[1] The postmodern buildings are made out of masonry, glass, and concrete.[2][3]

The building is part of a building boom in Jersey City's decayed railroad, warehouse and waterfront district, which is being redeveloped as large towers complex.[6][7] It is in the middle of the reconstructed downtown and has access to trains.[8]
