Designed by prominent Newark architect Frank Grad, it was the tallest building in the city until the National Newark Building opened the following year. Vacant since 1986, it was converted into residential use after a $120 million renovation by the Cogswell Group, and re-opened in 2006.{{cite web|last1=Portlock|first1=Sarah|title=Renewed life emerges for Newark luxury apartment building|url=http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2012/03/investment_trust_takes_over_mo.html|website=nj.com|date=27 March 2012|publisher=The Star-Ledger|access-date=10 October 2015}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/26/realestate/after-decades-new-highend-rentals.html|title = After Decades, New High-End Rentals|newspaper = The New York Times|date = 26 March 2006|last1 = Martin|first1 = Antoinette}} The new apartments were the first unsubsidized rental units in downtown Newark since completion of the Pavilion and Colonnade Apartments in 1960.{{cite web|title=Eleven 80, Newark|url=http://www.njfuture.org/smart-growth-101/smart-growth-awards/2008-award/eleven-80/|website=New Jersey Future|date=25 May 2008|publisher=New Jersey Future|access-date=10 October 2015}}

The five-story base features terra cotta panels and metal spandrels decorated with geometric floral motifs. The letters "LN" can be seen above the third floor, for Lefcourt Newark, the original name of the building. Today it consists of 317 luxury studio, one- and two-bedroom rental residences, renting at prices below the New York City, Jersey City and Hoboken markets. The building features amenities including a health club, bowling alley, basketball court and a media room.{{cite news|last1=Read|first1=Phillip|title=Eleven80, symbol of Newark's renaissance, is caught up in courtroom filings|url=http://www.nj.com/news/local/index.ssf/2009/11/eleven80_symbol_of_newarks_ren.html|access-date=10 October 2015|publisher=The Star-Ledger|date=22 November 2009}}
