The tower has a height of 27 meters. At the top of the dome is a statue of the angel and prophet Moroni .

Due to local protests, the Newport Beach California Temple's blueprints were changed prior to completion. In contrast to the originally planned white marble , a darker shade was chosen. The height of the tower was reduced from 38 to 27 meters. The outdoor lighting goes out at around 11 p.m.
