PARKER PLAZA
Fort Lee, NJ
This 19-story, Class A office building commands views of the George Washington Bridge from its New Jersey side hilltop perch. Within a previously approved zoning envelope, a long diagonal exposure afforded a stepped profile, giving typical office floors a row of desirable corner offices.
The building stands on a garage base that occupies the full footprint of the odd-shaped site. Clad in a combination of flamed and polished carnelian granite, the tower’s taut skin is highlighted with aluminum belt courses that reflect ambient light during the day and floodlights by night.
