I lived in Newark for a bit and that building is a local treasure. But to not surpass it when Newark should be bulking? Yeah rediculous, especially because this is down the street and not next door. It’s not like the proposed tower got skinnier, so it’s still obstructing the building from certain sightlines. Also, personal opinion but 1180 Raymond Boulevard is a better looking historic building right next door to the Newark National Building. ---

“Newark Summit Tower is planned to rise to 514.65 feet, which is six inches lower than the National Newark building” At least it’s not significantly shorter. Updated the thread title to reflect the height and change in floor count. The article has a lot of complaining about increased traffic and parking issues which makes it being next to Prudential Center even worse. Perhaps the city should stop allowing stuff with huge garages and improve public transit. It’s a little ridiculous that so much deference to cars is given in a downtown area. Also, the reason the building height was chopped was the historical district it is in. Why not leverage that district for good and put in more pedestrian friendly areas/streets? ---

Originally it was 531 feet, thankfully the height cut isn’t so drastic ---

Interesting, although that doesn’t seem to align with the 5 floor reduction unless they became taller? If so I’m happy that the height chop wasn’t that much. Edit: The National Newark Building is 466’ tall so the article must have a typo? Perhaps it’s actually 465’ tall which would account for the 5 missing floors. If we do a rough ratio of: 41/46 floors = x/531’ …and solve for x we would arrive at about 473’ which is closer to 465’. ---
