Bamberger's 165 Halsey Street was initially built in 1912 as an eight-story, 500,000 sqft m2 on flagship store of Bamberger's to expand the operations from its original store across Halsey Street. It was expanded twice in 1922 and 1929 to become a 14-story building with a total floor area of 1.2 e6sqft m2. The building address was 109-135 Market Street. After Bamberger's expanded its operations to suburban stores, some parts of the building were converted to an office space and the building became the headquarters of Bamberger's. After R. H. Macy & Co. took over Bamberger's, the operations in New Jersey stores retained the Bamberger's name. As the sales continued to decline at the Newark location and Macy's New York and New Jersey merged their operations, the building lost the headquarters status and the store itself was renamed Macy's. In 1992, Macy's closed the Newark store and the building remained vacant until 1996.40–41,73,93 Colocation center After the closure in 1992, the building stayed vacant until October 1996.
