I would do it on the reverse: build out downtown with more residentials and then work your way out. I definitely believe a modern city downtown should have more residential (think pre-9/11 Manhattan...

While I mostly agree, the problem with seeing it that way is that Newark isn't a traditional old industrial town on the PATH corridor. Its a generally a larger setup, and that stretch of Newark has...

I like this shot, adds to 21's 'corridor-like' setup.`

That smaller building you mention should help alleviate some concerns (myself included) about too much surface lot facing Broad St.

When I first saw the rendering of the tower before they built it I wanted that thing lit so badly and I'm glad they're finally moving on it; especially since WTC is pretty much done exterior-wise, we...

This is a good thing, not sure why they waited so long. It's funny they even make mention of Panasonic, which, as a tech company, their space-occupation in North America was never much to begin with....

^The more renderings I see of that building the more I actually like it. I don't suppose any of you know what that little white box off in the left corner of the picture is do you?

That's actually a pretty nice pic.



I think the foot traffic will come eventually to replace the vehicles. Honestly though (I know you'll disagree) but I kind of like that there's that many...

Brick City,

good find on that Pru tower link. I like how the link includes the Military Park upgrades, very attractive. I agree with arcman, that building is far more attractive than I originally...

I had no idea, thanks stache:)

Also wondering what is Haddad, is it a film crew or part of an entertainment group?





Even though I'm not impressed with the planned tower itself, it definitely will be nice to see a good...

I would love to have the actual money to improve these areas, some may consider it a waste but everytime I look around the city I see what 'could' be. Drives me insane and gives me hope all at once....

You actually got me thinking: a FULL Passaic waterfront from the Great Falls in Paterson to Riverfront Park in Newark would be a nice zone of continuation (something lacking in NJ because every town...

This is a good article, and for its credit, NYT does a fair share of positive Newark coverage. However, it kind of seems like they're a little late to the show on this one. Ironbound has definitely...

Cultural affections aside, the US' building style change dramatically over the decades since the 30's. As a nation we've just only recently found appreciation in older housing stock designs. It's not...

On February 20, 2013, the Newark City Council voted unanimously in favor of expanding the boundaries of the Newark Downtown...

Good pics. It's good to see a nicer side of Camden once in awhile.

Good shots

Absolutely. It was a retail mecca for the region.

You know, after thinking about it, I'll go as far to say that for a city Newark's size, it does pretty good on the corporate level. Where it lacks (though improving) is retail and residential...

I'm just resting my hopes on getting more middle-income folks downtown which can greatly help financially anchor the city (because with them come local businesses and an increased tax base).

It wouldn't be so bad if they made a theme out of it, like orange boat tours and all that. But still...orange...it's a hard color and clashes everywhere.
