Pavilion and Colonnade Apartments

The Pavilion and Colonnade Apartments are three highrise apartment buildings in Newark, New Jersey. The 22-story towers were designed in the International Style by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and opened in 1960.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Soon after completing Manhattan’s Seagram Building, Mies designed the three towers near Branch Brook Park, north of Downtown Newark. The Pavilion Apartments are located at 108-136 Martin Luther King Blvd. (40°44′59″N 74°10′19″W / 40.74972°N 74.17194°W / 40.74972; -74.17194 (Pavilion Apartments)) and the Colonnade Apartments at 25 Clifton Avenue (40°45′02″N 74°10′47″W / 40.75056°N 74.17972°W / 40.75056; -74.17972 (Colonnade Apartments)) in the overlapping neighborhoods known as Seventh Avenue and South Broadway. Privately owned, the buildings were intended to bring middle-income families to the area of the Christopher Columbus Homes—a cluster of low-income apartment buildings, or projects, which were eventually replaced.[8][9]
