Pavilion and Colonnade Apartments, Residential complex at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Clifton Avenue, Newark, United States.
Pavilion and Colonnade Apartments is a residential complex in Newark comprising three high-rise buildings that house about 1,240 units total. The development spreads across a large site and offers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes with fitness facilities and shared gathering spaces.
The complex was built between 1958 and 1960 as one of New Jersey's early urban renewal efforts. The project aimed to draw middle-income families back into the city during a period of significant urban change.
The buildings show Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's design approach with clean lines and open floor plans that still shape how people live there today. The minimalist style creates spaces where form and function work closely together.
The site sits at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Clifton Avenue, making it easy to locate. The grounds spread across a sizable area, so plan to spend some time walking to see the different parts of the complex.
This is the only residential project Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed in the eastern United States. The towers rise about 201 feet (61 meters) and stand as a rare example of his work in this region.
