NEWARK | Nova Towers | 448 FT x 2 | FLOORS x 2

"
• ⁠Nova Tower will be a 2 phase project. I believe it’s going to be one tower at a time. Something similar with what’s happening in Journal Square. They build tower 1 first and it’s officially topped off with tower 2 currently getting to its final height point. I don’t see how the bridge can work if phase 2 happens many years later.
• ⁠Nova Tower is the project that Calvin hinted at many months ago during Arc tower meeting at his office. He told me another developer has bought the site for the old Vibe tower site. Yes this will be located at the old vibe tower site. Which I hinted at before.
• ⁠The towers will be taller than Summit Tower original 531ft or at least around that height.
• ⁠Project will have to go past the LHPC, most likely zoning board and finally the central planning board so pretty much the holy trinity.
• ⁠Construction will likely happen once all approvals have been granted and most likely when Summit Tower is well underway and near completion and opening.
• ⁠It sits outside historic districts so no height restrictions, also giving the fact that Halo has 2 other towers approved and taller than Nova towers.
• ⁠Hope you all enjoy, another proposal by KS group"

Looks pretty good.

Newark is finally moving forward and filling in its skyline with some nice towers.

Newark has the potential to be the next Jersey City in terms of skyline impact. The potential is there. Each new tower brings it closer.

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.
