Revision as of 17:16, 30 March 2008
The Grant USA Tower was a propsed 121-story skyscraper planned for Newark, New Jersey by developer Harry Grant. Harry Grant was an Israeli-born developer out of New Jersey, who financed the gold dome of Newark's City Hall and started the never-completed Renaissance Mall in the city. The Grant Tower was to be located over the old Central Railroad Terminal near Broad Street and Lafayette Street. Today the incomplete Renaissance Mall has been torn down to build the Prudential Center and the old and unused part of the train station below where the tower was to be built remains. There are currently plans to connect it with the Prudential Center and turn it into a museum There were plans for a 21-floor atrium above the 121st floor, which would have been the top floor of the hotel. If it was built as planned by 1986, it would have had the tallest hotel contained and would have been the tallest building and the tallest structure.
