That looks beautiful The design lowkey warming up to me

Looks like this should be ready by Spring/earlySummer

Such an eyesore

It has nothing to do with the community. Neither the height which casts a shadow. It’s fugly as hell. And it’s not affordable for anyone in the community.

The best is the city council gave them tax abatements after they already started building it.

😂😂the comments on this post are hilarious; reminds me of grandmas standing around trying to convince each other their their grand baby is the prettiest🤦🏾

I genuinely like it.

-the Ironbound off of Ferry St. never really screamed architectural dreamland, so maybe this looks better than it should? I still like it either way.

Yeah that was the worst part!! City Hall is selling out

I looks fine, what’s gonna make it depends largely on what they put at the floor level which seems to be ready for a high end restaurant

That’s a stretch with many factory jobs shutting down, the community have found jobs with higher wages in construction and driving industries. However, the main reason for this building is to attract young professionals.

Looks nice, but residential lighting is idiotic. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP. Stop creating carbon emissions so people get worse sleep

It's soulless, generic, oversized and cheaply made. ITS PERFECT!!! This is exactly what the Ironbound needed! /s

What are you talking about? There haven't been factories in the Ironbound for decades and no, deindustrialization did not lead to better wages in other industries for the majority of the working class.

Better than the empty lot that was there eh?

Don’t set your bar too high

Which factories are you referring to?

Well if this building is cheap why don't you spend a few of your hidden trillions and give Newark a beautiful building in your taste?

You don't grow the city population by moving people from one block of the city to another. Development is meant to increase the population. The city used to have close to half a million residents. The city fathers built an infrastructure to support 1 million people because the expected to expand Newark into all of Essex County. But lo and behold racist anti Italian and anti Irish bigotry dominating the 19th century NJ legislature passed laws to prohibit Newark, Camden & JC from growing further and introduced the dead end obstacle & referendum process to annexations. Newark has the same square mileage as Manhattan. Obviously Newark is not going to get manhattanized, but it can easily support half a million.
