NJ TRANSIT HUB PERSPECTIVE | SUMMER 2018 Newark’s Mixed-Use/Residential Developments Residential and redevelopment endeavors are helping to revitalize Newark’s downtown and Broad Street areas, which will position this market for future growth. Among the projects reshaping New Jersey’s largest city: Vibe Strategic Development Partners announced plans for an $80.0 million luxury apartment project at the intersection of Halsey and William streets in downtown Newark. The 256-unit tower will contain a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as two street-level restaurants. Mulberry Commons In late 2017, ground was broken on the $10.0 million Mulberry Commons revitalization project which will transform 22 acres adjacent to the Prudential Center into a mixed-use park that connects Penn Station to the city’s downtown and Ironbound neighborhoods. The area will include a park, retail establishments and restaurants. Office and retail space will also be rolled out through the redevelopment of a warehouse located at 110 Edison Place. One Rector Street Boraie Development recently topped out a 168-unit apartment tower on a site near the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in downtown Newark. The 21-story project, known as One Rector Street, is expected to open in late 2018. One Theater Square The New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Dranoff Properties have topped off One Theater Square, which represented Newark’s first luxury high-rise residential tower in more than 50 years. Located across the street from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Military Park, the 22-story building will feature 245-units and street- level retail space upon its completion in the summer of 2018.
