Looks like they need a developer and this is merely an idea.

That’s exciting news! Thank you for sharing!

Hmm this looks dated. Riverfront square is definitely off the table, with construction of citisquare hopefully starting this spring…

That’s good to know. Excited about the prospect. Thank you for sharing.

I’m eager to get everyone’s take on whether this will come to fruition, given the mixed best track record at best of grand projects coming to fruition. Thoughts everyone? Yes, no, maybe?

Awesome thank you.

Wow I didn’t know that. Given the location, I’m surprised they are not cleaning it up.

Nice pic! Shows how much land near Broad Street Station remains vacant or underutilized.

More residents in the downtown area does not expand the city’s tax base, and their spending at local restaurants etc. does not create new jobs? And these factors do not help the community at large?

Yup that’s what I was trying to point out. Fingers crossed.

I think Newark needs more high earning residents who pay taxes and spend money in the city. That will create more jobs for native Newarkers, and provide the city with its much needed funds for projects further out in the wards.

Hope this place succeeds - so far, except for some places on Halsey, restaurants and bars in this area have mostly come and gone.

Mystery solved?

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

What was the result?

Could they find a different location nearby for the tower?

That’s be awesome. Thanks!

It’s very much not. I used to live in Newark but still follow developments. So I’m interested but can’t easily check things out in person.

Less is more!

So are there any renderings of what the final product will look like?

Interesting to see that a significant majority believes only 1 tower will be built. I think many of us have become a bit disillusioned by grand plans that have come and gone without any of it materializing. Very much hope we are turning that page.

Isn’t there a freeze on rent increases imposed by the city?

Good news! Slowly but surely more density.

Thank you! Good to know.

Glad this is coming along. Now let’s hope they will break ground on the other side of the tracks w the citisquare project. Did they solve the living wage issue for the staff?
