The privately held Lefrak Organization, already known for developing Lefrak City in Queens and Battery Park in Manhattan, then offered the land for cheaper office space for Wall Street in a $10 billion residential and commercial complex dubbed Newport.
Lefrak, who will mark the 100th anniversary of his family's business this year, said the UBS building will be the flagship of Newport.
The powerhouse, which became the 26th building in Jersey City to receive the designation, is one of only a handful in the state to be listed by the national registry and left off the state list.

An example of how that statement gets ignored is Lefrak City, like Queens West, was plunked down with little planning into a typical Queens neighborhood.
Renowned for its 30 years of social unrest, its lack of planning for the existing community has resulted in edge conditions more typical of the urban sprawl of a developing country rather than one of the world's most cosmopolitan urban centers.
Lefrak, with its 20,000 residents, is a project smaller than the full Queens West build-out, and is in some ways superior to Queens West in planning: underground parking, 3 times the open space ratio, 1/3 the building height.

 The Main Street WIRE
Roosevelt Island is not just a unique part of New York City; it is also a laboratory for architectural ideas ranging from public space to the cross-ventilation of apartments.
Both are essentially "towers in a park." Architects created this concept in order to solve the problems of the cities of the early century that were dark, dank, and severely overcrowded.
Once we remove the grid of city streets full of continuous buildings, the spaces that are supposed to become great parks become isolated, cold, and impersonal areas that are so vast that they are useless.

My take on this is that Hong Kong being a city in Asia has more people per capita living in high rise apartments than New York.
Keep in mind Emporis rates buildings such as those of Stuyvesant Town or LeFrak city in Queens as skyscrapers.
When rated you have to consider Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx and Brooklyn, 4 boroughs that have relatively few high rises/skyscrapers compared to Manhattan or Hong Kong.

New York also has more 500+ footers than any other city, and Midtown is the largest downtown area in the world, courtesy of emporis.com.
One other thing that makes the Midtown skyline particularly impressive is that it is not only a bit over a mile long, but it is also a mile wide.
The walls of skyscrapers everywhere, the urbaness of the farthest reaches of the city (Townhomes in the top of the bronx, mid rises in coney island), and the great street life are just 3 of the reasons why NY is the greatest city in the world.
