The Arc Tower is a mixed-use development that boasts a unique design and functionality to make it stand out in the Military Park neighborhood of Newark NJ.

The 520’ tall tower provides commercial spaces at the street level add an extra layer of convenience and entertainment for residents and the Downtown, making the Arc Tower a perfect blend of work and play.

The tower’s geometry tapers in at the base to create an open plaza for the public, providing an inviting and spacious area for relaxation and socialization. At the same time, the tower’s geometry tapers in at the top to minimize its shadow impact on the street level, ensuring that it integrates perfectly with the surrounding buildings. The cuts on the tower’s mass break its monolithic nature to relate to the neighboring buildings’ various scales, ranging from low-rise, mid-rise to high-rise. The Arc Tower’s articulated glass and metal façade blends seamlessly with the commercial historic context, which has extensively utilized the same material palette.

The building envelope has cuts that create tiered terraces, which offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding neighborhood. The tiered terraces are located within a double skin curtain wall assembly, providing wind protection at high altitudes for a comfortable outdoor living space.

The Arc Tower is a remarkable residential tower project that offers a unique design, functionality, and prime location in Newark. With its open plaza, tiered terraces, wind-protected outdoor living space, and commercial spaces, the Arc Tower is set to energize the new and revitalized Newark.
