From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newport Tower (also known as 2 Newport Center and 525 Washington Boulevard) in Jersey City, New Jersey is the third tallest building in Jersey City. It has 37 floors, it is 531 ft (162 m) tall and contains a mall (called the Newport Centre Mall) within the complex. The mall is one of the few enclosed, regional shopping facility in Hudson County. 1 billion dollars have been invested in the building since 1986. Newport Tower is next to the Hudson River and is almost exactly across from the World Financial Center in Manhattan. The Newport Tower is a modern-style building.
The tower got a facelift in the summer of 2005; wooden panels have been installed on the lobby walls, and LCD advertisement screens added to the elevators.
Effective October 6 the new owner of the Newport Tower will be Brookfield Properties. The building was previously owned by the Trizec Properties.
