One Theater Square: High-Rise Performance Meets Urban Precision

Newark, NJ

A twenty-two-story mixed-use development in Downtown Newark required a facade system that could support architectural intent, high-rise scale, and tight urban logistics. Partnering with the architect and construction team, API engineered, manufactured, and erected more than 650 architectural precast panels with thin brick inlay, delivering long-term durability while keeping installation on track in a congested city environment.
