Newark, the largest city in New Jersey and second largest in New York metropolitan area, is one of the United States' major air, shipping, and rail hubs. It has a distinctive skyline, though shorter than that of much larger New York City and slightly smaller Jersey City. Since the mid-2000s numerous buildings have been re-lit and made more prominent.[1] Newark was founded in 1666, and its downtown grew around the site of the early settlement at Four Corners. Early highrises were developed there and at Military Park during the economic boom of the Roaring Twenties. In the New Newark era[2] (1950s-1970s) modernist buildings went up, particularly around Washington Park. In the post-industrial-high tech era, development has been concentrated in the Gateway District near Penn Station. Clusters of residential highrises (not included in this list) are found throughout the city, particularly near Weequahic Park and Branch Brook Park. Three ZMPC Super-Post-Panamax container cranes each measuring Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). at Port Newark are the tallest structures in the city.[3][4]

Proposed and under construction

Grant USA Tower would have been the tallest building in the United States had it been built. This lists buildings that are proposed for construction. While no official announcement has been made, it is expected that a site across from Newark Broad Street Station would be developed as a mixed-use highrise.[75][76] Panasonic intends to build a new headquarters along the riverfront.[77] In 2011, Prudential announced plans to construct an office tower for its headquarters. The company has received a $250 million urban transit tax credit, from the state, which requiress that it create new jobs and build within walking distance of a transit hub.[26] The site of the planned 20 story, 310 foot, 650,000 sq ft (60,000 m2) tower is on Broad Street just west of Military Park.[27][28][29] One Theater Square at 482 feet (144m) with 44 floors at 2 Centre Street proposed in 2010 would have been the city's tallest building.[78] [79] [80] One Riverview, a 21-story residential high rise broke ground in September 2013.[81][82][83][84] In 2014, three ZMPC Super-Post-Panamax container cranes each measureing Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). are being assembled at Port Newark.[3][4]
