The Newark Office of Planning and Zoning has approved proposals to construct a 45-story residential skyscraper at 571 Broad Street in New Jersey. Designed by INOA Architecture for developer Israel Weiss of Oceanview Capital Management, the building will debut as Arc Tower and top out at 520 feet above ground, making it Newark’s tallest structure.
The residential component will yield more than 300 rental apartments that range from studios up to three-bedroom layouts. Amenity spaces will include a coworking suite, a fully stocked gym, communal lounge areas, and more to be announced as the project moves forward.
Additional components include around 1,800 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a small public plaza in front of the building.
As the building rises, the outermost curtain wall appears to slice open and reveals the secondary glass enclosure, a design described as a “double skin.” Beyond aesthetics, this futuristic form also creates partially enclosed outdoor terraces and stacked outdoor spaces for select apartments.
Two unoccupied structures will be torn down where the development will take shape. The project team has not confirmed an anticipated completion date.

I really hope this is built as depicted and not reduced through value engineering. If I could change one think though would be the strangely squat looking ground floor in the base.
LOVE IT. Now do it bigger and in Midtown!
I dubb thee the “Spiralette”! 🤗
Yes! Newark needs more identity in its skyline.
Exceptional.
About time, let’s get it done
Awesome to see uplifting things happening in my hometown. Always wanting to see Newark move ahead as New Jersey’s big city. And they can have Jersey City !!
