Military Park Building, Newark, NJ

The Military Park Building in Newark, NJ is one of the earliest skyscrapers built downtown. Designed by the architectural firm Polhemus & Coffin of New York, it was the tallest building in NJ upon its completion in 1926 until passed in 1930 by the Eleven 80. The landmark takes its name from nearby Military Park. The Military Park Building is owned by the Newark-based Berger Organization, which acquired it in late 2007. Berger previously had been a minority partner in the 250,000-square-foot, 21-story building. Renovations were completed in 2010.
