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. Its central business district has long been a commercial, retail, and entertainment center with a distinctive skyline. 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] (1960s-1970s) modernist buildings went up, particularly around Washington Park. In the post-industrial-high tech era, development was concentrated in the Gateway District near Penn Station, with many buildings clad in reflective glass.[3] Clusters of residential highrises are found throughout the city, particularly near Weequahic Park and Branch Brook Park. Since the 2010s several commercial buildings have been converted to apartments and residential high rises have been built. Three ZPMC Super-Post-Panamax container cranes each measuring 561 ft (171 m) at Port Newark are the tallest structures in the city.[4][5] Since the 2020s numerous high-rise projects which will greatly change the city's skyline have been proposed.[6]
