Empty Sky is the official New Jersey September 11 memorial located in Jersey City, New Jersey. This poignant monument is dedicated to the 749 New Jersey residents who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Designed by architects Jessica Jamroz and Frederic Schwartz, the memorial features two parallel walls, each 210 feet long—the exact width of the World Trade Center towers. The walls are oriented to face the site of the former Twin Towers, creating a visual corridor that aligns with the skyline of lower Manhattan.
