Whatā€™s wrong with the current design?

Halo copycat

I mean it was design by the same architecture firm so if anything this is a cousin of the halo tower. Donā€™t really see how itā€™s a real problem with the design. The majority of the new prudential tower is glass and so is this tower and they sit in the same historic district. It amazes me how other bigger cities can build these nice tall glassy towers in the middle of historic buildings and they still look nice. One Vanderbilt is only seconds away from the Empire State Building yet it looks nothing like it and it doesnā€™t. I wouldnā€™t have a problem if they made this building facade look similar to one theater square or both Shaq towers but we need some diversity in the skyline. Not every new building has to be as iconic or similar to those thatā€™s been in Newark for more than 30 years. Besides look at the area halo is being constructed in thereā€™s literally no other building that looks like it or has the same facade as it.

Even so, they should be more creative with their designs

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.
