I tried looking around on the City of Newark website but had no luck finding anything! I work in a construction-adjacent field in NYC and am used to looking permits up online there, and was hoping Newark would have a similar system but no-go unfortunately.

Hmm - this is next to the future citi square location, right? Or would this be part of citi square?

It might be the new container homes but that’s just a guess

Looks like the street address is either 26 or 28-30 Lombardy Street based on Parcel/Tax maps. both parcels and the IDT parking garage appear to have an owner listed as "Broad Street Atlantic Associates, LLC" with a listed address of 520 Broad Street in Newark (IDT Building).

520 Broad (IDT Building) and the parking garage were both sold back in September, and the parking garage was mentioned as a "developable site" in the announcement, according to Jersey Digs.

If I had to guess, it may be some type of lot clearing/pre-work for a planned construction or to sell the site off to an interested developer.

Thanks for this info!! I knew the parking garage and IDT building had been sold; I keep my car in that garage and the staff there had mentioned it, but they didn’t have any idea what was going to happen with that garage or this vacant land next door either. The vacant lot has been an eyesore for a long time, so I’m excited to see some work going on down there regardless of what it may end up being!

If I had to venture a guess, they will probably expand the garage.

I heard the garage is getting knocked down. Being replaced with 4 or 5 residential buildings.
