The three part facade also recalls nineteenth and early twentieth century American architecture, which of course also looked back to classic buildings for inspiration.

Metropolis Towers

Two co-op apartment buildings located on a large gated plot of land just east of Grove Street, behind City Hall and the Grove Street PATH station. The towers originally had a small, low rise retail structure connecting the two buildings. This structure was recently removed for the installation of a parking garage. Plans have been approved for two additional towers along Columbus Blvd, and speculation exists that an additional two towers are planned for Montgomery Street. At present, the fences and long blocks surrounding the complex present a very pedestrian unfriendly environment.

The complex is a co-op, however, many units are owned by a single management company. The co-op had gone bankrupt in the last decade.
