ISO and JPM's buildings down the block are similar ugly boxes but at least their stone / metal facades look much much better.
Sorry for the rant, I just can't stand that ugly box.

Newport is home to some of the worst architecture and urban design I've ever seen. It's pathetic. The good news is that there is a new development planned just south of Newport by the Harsimus Cove HBLR stop. Towers of various heights lined with retail at their base will have a much better interaction with pedestrians on the street. Only a matter of time before ShopRite lot gets redeveloped along with Newport Mall itself.
