This one building structure of 9 stories housing 249 active rental units was built in 1963 upon the prior urging of a then young congressmen John F. Kennedy. At that time the complex was the nation's largest project providing assisted housing for the Senior population exclusively.
The complex is located at 33 Cherry Street, has extensive parking and is conveniently located to the Elizabeth downtown shopping district.
Farley Towers derived its title from J. William Farley, Sr., a member of the Housing Authority 19 years and initiator of its move to build public housing for senior citizens.
His Authority colleagues decided to name the first Golden Age building for him because of his work for the project in particular and the public housing program in general.
Farley Towers boasts a newly renovated lobby and community room plus recent upgrades to the bathrooms, roof and exterior building fasade.
