Another Newport Masterplan

The northeast quadrant of the Newport redevelopment site has been planned, essentially since the onset of development in Newport. Earlier this week we mentioned the addition of the Herbert Hoover to the line up of dead presidents adorning Newport’s shores. This came along with approvals for two other towers, for a total of five new buildings. In either case, we were digging around the internet today and came across another masterplan for Newport, from the architectural firm Gruzen Samton. The renderings. are not much different from LeFrak’s publicly posted plans [PDF], but it may shed some light on a few more details of the area marked as “future” projects.
