Nova Towers Gains Approval From Historic Preservation Commission of Newark, New Jersey

The Newark Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission has approved Nova Towers, a two-tower residential proposal set to rise at 16-38 William Street in the Four Corners Historic District in downtown Newark, New Jersey. Designed by INOA Architecture and developed by KS Group LLC, the structures are planned to both stand 488 feet tall and yield a combined 712 residential units in studio to two-bedroom layouts. The property currently features a number of low-rise commercial structures that will have to be demolished, and is bound by William Street to the north, a surface level parking lot to the south, Chapel Court to the east, and Halsey Street to the west.

Following the approval by the historic commission, the proposal will now head to the city’s planning board before work can proceed.

Renderings of the project show the towers rising from a shared multi-story podium and enclosed in a glass curtain wall framed by a prominent rounded grid of sculptural paneling that protrudes from the reflective surface. The towers feature a subtle bulging geometry on their northern and southern elevations that is further accentuated by inward slopes at their bases and crowns.

Residential amenities will include a spa, a fitness center, a swimming pool, lounges, and entertainment spaces.

The property is a short walk from Newark Penn Station, offering easy transit into Manhattan and throughout New Jersey via the NJ Transit, Amtrak, and PATH trains.
