Shaq tower 2 definitely stands out. It makes downtown look larger

Thank you

Bringing in more units for people to live in so businesses can have more foot traffic other than office workers and college students who aren’t scared to walk the city streets isn’t benefiting the neighborhood

Building getting brought back to life, may not be a game changer or set a new standard around the world but it looks great and helps the city move another step better.

Nah they already got approved at the November meeting, I remember because that was The Arc tower first meeting

Yes I posted it a while back.

Facts

No no I want that too, I am just surprised a tall building was planned for this site, wonder what it looks like

Yes

Really?

Very glad to see this, hopefully more does the same on market street near Halsey

So all I know is that the vote was 3 to 2 when it came to demolishing the old buildings but you need 5 to demolish.

Anytime

Probably not going to happen, I heard it was a scam to sell the land, hopefully it isn’t true but maybe they looking for financing and Covid delayed it maybe

Hey so I made an updated list of all the buildings Newark already have or will have. I was bored so decided to do my own list, pretty cool to compare all the buildings together. Enjoy!!!!!!

Thank you, one of my greatest skills

Facts, I feel like this tower closes the gap between midtown and downtown. Plus this area could use some more attention. The light rail and broad street station and minutes away, this part of downtown should be something like NYC midtown. I want different parts of downtown to feel and look different yet be connected at the same time

I am pretty much cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and maybe Chicago look more like an American city than Newark, since they have more art deco towers than we do and more modern towers than we do. I am not gonna lie I love our art deco style buildings there great and beautiful but it doesn’t mean we have to only build art deco moving forward in Newark. Our skyline should be diverse, Newark is a diverse city, imagine someone saying that Newark should only be black and we should embrace bring more black people to the city.

I mean it’s something, no matter what the design is it’s always welcomed in my eyes.

See you at the meeting my brother

Not every design that gets thrown in Newark proposal board will change the game in how we design towers, there are going to be some hits and some miss.
