National Newark Building · Property For Lease

The National Newark Building at 744 Broad Street has a rich and powerful history. Built in 1930 by Wilson and John Ely for the National Newark & Essex Banking Company, this 34-story neo-classical masterpiece was one of the country's first skyscrapers and New Jersey's tallest commercial tower. From its inception, The National Newark Building housed New Jersey's most prestigious legal, political, and business firms. After a $55 million renovation, The National Newark Building has reclaimed its position as Newark's Crown Jewel. Extensive work to the landmarked structure and the integration of 21st-century technologies has produced an ideal office environment. The magnificent marble and brass lobby boasts 24k gold lining the ceiling, and ten murals in the mezzanine by J. Monroe Hewlett and Charles Gulbrandsen depict the growth of commerce in Newark. At the heart of the central business district, the Newark National Building offers an easy commute with immediate access to the Military Park subway station, a six-minute walk to the Washington Street subway station, and an 11-minute walk to Newark Penn Station. Auto-commuters benefit from an eight-minute drive to Interstate 280, a ten-minute drive to New Jersey Turnpike/Interstate 95, and an 12-minute drive to Garden State Parkway. Stroll down Broad, Halsey, and Market Street for some shopping, and catch a show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, just a five-minute walk.
