Currently, the 25-story Carmel Towers building lies abandoned, towering over the Weequahic neighborhood of Newark’s South Ward. However, should a developer’s plan be approved, the building could soon be home to hundreds of Newarkers.

According to a legal notice from the Newark Central Planning Board, Essex Lake Associates, LLC is proposing to renovate the Carmel Towers complex, located at 203-221 Meeker Avenue, between Empire Street and Elizabeth Avenue. The building contains 48 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom, and 48 three-bedroom apartments, many of which have balconies, and there are 104 parking spaces on site.

N.Y. firm eyes 2.3M sq. ft. redevelopment of Newark stadium

https://re-nj.com/developer-eyes-2-3...-stadium-site/

Quote:

A developer has closed on its acquisition of the former Newark Bears baseball stadium in the state’s largest city, paving the way for it to redevelop the site into a sprawling mixed-use neighborhood.

Local officials said Thursday that the firm, New York-based Louts Equity Group, had completed its purchase of the former stadium from the Essex County Improvement Authority. The developer has also picked the Practice for Architecture and Urbanism, or PAU, to create a master plan that will transform the stadium and more than 7.5 acres of surrounding land.

Lotus did not disclose the purchase price.

Preliminary concept plans call for some 2.3 million square feet of residential, office, retail and cultural space, according to a news release from the city of Newark. Lotus is expected to rely on its location at Broad and Orange streets — which is just 500 feet from NJ Transit’s Broad Street station, seconds from Interstate 280 and at the foot of University Heights — to help draw tenants and serve as a catalyst for the neighborhood.

Big news for Newark!

Now, a design posted by TD+Partners shows that there are plans for a 17-story residential tower at the site called ‘The Station at Brick Church’. The company website states that the project will cost $100 million and that it “will transform a more than 20-year vacant property in the City of East Orange into a captivating mixed-use community”. Clark Caton Hintz will be the architect, and Phase 1 is expected to be completed in 2018, according to TD+Partners.

Since 1907, the Newark Warehouse Company Building, also known as the Central Graphic Arts Building, has stood near Newark Penn Station and the Prudential Center at 98-126 Edison Place, at the southwestern corner of McCarter Highway/Route 21, in the city’s East Ward. The building, located in the Downtown Core District Redevelopment Area, has largely been vacant in recent years, with the exception of a small gallery inside that hosted this year’s Ironbound Multicultural Festival. Previously, the building was used for commercial purposes by companies like Iron Mountain and Central Paper Company.

In 2014, a company registered out of ParkFast-owner Edison Properties acquired the building for $7 million from the North Caldwell-based Berkowitz Company, according to NJ Parcels.

Now, we are seeing the first sign of progress on the project from the developer, Newark Warehouse Redeveloper Company, LLC. The company has applied to the Newark Central Planning Board for preliminary and final site plan approval to rehabilitate the building and expand it into a seven-story 456,059 square foot building to be used for office, retail, and commercial purposes, according to a legal notice. The developer is requesting variances in regards to having insufficient street trees and excessive lighting levels, according to board records. Leonard D. Savino P.E. of Parsippany-based Langan Engineering and Environmental Services is registered as the project architect and engineer.

Project: 359-407 Halsey Street

https://jerseydigs.com/wp-content/up...all-newark.jpg

Quote:

A building called ‘The Residences at Symphony Hall’ will rise at 359-407 Halsey Street in Newark’s Central Ward, between West Kinney Street and Crawford Street. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in June for this four-story development, an affordable community containing 20 one-bedroom units and 40-two bedroom units.

According to a statement from the City’s Department of Economic and Housing Development, six units will be reserved for individuals with a mental illness and nine units will be set aside for residents who both are experiencing homelessness and have a disability. A community room, a play area, rehearsal space, a social services suite, and 55 parking spaces will also be included at The Residences.

The project is being developed by Collingswood, Camden County-based Ingerman and Paoli, Pennsylvania-based BCM Affordable Housing, in association with the Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation, the Mental Health Association of Essex County, and the YMCA of Newark and Vicinity. City records from earlier this month show that the developers are slated to receive a Federal HOME Funds loan for $950,000.

However, developers are now in the process of revitalizing the structures, which take up an entire block. F.M. Renaissance, LLC, based on Chapel Street in Newark, is planning to convert the Murphy Varnish Works into 46 residential rental units and three retail spaces. According to NJ Parcels, the company acquired the complex last October for $1.2 million. F.M. Renaissance’s proposal was approved with conditions 7-0 by the Newark Zoning Board of Adjustment on November 10th.

Madeline Ruiz-Robinson, who is listed as the project architect, applied in February to add a new four-story addition to the building within the courtyard, and to keep one of the courtyard structures previously slated to be demolished as part of the project. The proposal was approved with conditions in March by the Newark Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission. In addition, new insulated windows will replicate the existing style and material of the original units, according to commission records.

I Haven't heard much about it either. Teachers village is in full swing and has been in terms of new construction, but the taller, near super tall component I'm in the dark about. I doubt the FAA would allow it. I can see 600, maybe 750 ft at most, but I doubt anything over 900 ft.

Granted, could Newark in theory support it, of course. Demand is there in JC, and I think as prices rise, we will see the migration of new residents and units (along with office space; class A for tenants seeking cheaper sq-ft/$. That's a lot for the city to absorb and I think it's risky at the moment especially with so much competition over in Jersey City. Newark will have its time to go tall, but not at the moment I feel.

We might have to wait for diagrams. Although it's not present in the rendering. I'd imagine it would be removed it especially as they are seeking to convert the whole place to residential with some retail. Might make it a negative from a PR point of view. Although some may prefer that. That vintage look.

Plus the chimney and what it's connected to would be redeveloped. No sense in having a smoke stack if its not being used or serves no purpose other than a prop.

That would be a shame. I think many people underestimate the local "landmark" importance of industrial chimneys and they are in many cases aesthetically impressive though its understandable how some may not see that in the least. Case in point would be the Powerhouse development in LIC where they removed the original cast iron chimneys totally destroying, imo, the appeal of the whole project. The original plan called for keeping them and would have been so much better than what was built: http://www.pbase.com/image/42994331.jpg

In terms of the skyscraper portion, I haven't heard anything either. This is big for the city. Skyline changing at a massive scale. Hell, even a 600 footer would be really big news. Although it would be odd if Newark claims the title of tallest in NJ before JC does. Was hoping One Journal Square would become the states record holder, but downsized to 777 ft. :(

According to a legal notice, 650 Springfield Ave, LLC has applied to the Newark Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for variances regarding the two-building project. One of the buildings is slated to be a four-story mixed-use structure with 59 residential units and 28 surface parking spaces, while the other is set to be five stories tall and will 56 residential units, with 30 parking spaces provided in a garage on the ground floor.

A presentation published by the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation in 2016 stated that GS Developers and Queen Latifah were behind the project. A source familiar with the development, who request anonymity, confirmed to Jersey Digs that GonSosa Development of Union County, which is listed on its website as being affiliated with GS Developers, will partner with Queen Latifah for the project. According to the source, the buildings will also include a theater room, a community room, a fitness center, a patio area, and free Wi-Fi for residents when completed in 2018.

The development proposal calls for developing the buildings on several lots, including 650-656 Springfield Avenue and 718-722 South 17th Street, many of which are vacant and currently owned by the City of Newark. However, a few of the tracts are owned by the Blue Sugar Corporation, according to city records, which is registered out of the same Monmouth Junction address as Queen Latifah, Inc.

Right, but I don't foresee the FAA allowing it. Given what we've seen in JC near Journal Square and in LIC, eh... Newark might be iffy. Now if we can get a 250-300m tower, fantastic, but I think it will be lucky if we do or if the FAA allows it. Even with Newark airport quite a distance away from Downtown.

I'm thinking more of the flight paths over portions of Ironbound. Seems a tad bit close.

The development’s first phase will be a five-story building called The Gillepsie, the Greater Newark LISC reports, adding that The Gillepsie was awarded a 9% tax credit award from the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. According to TD+Partners, 80% of the 113 units in the $30 million building will be affordable, while the remaining 20% will be market rate. Perkins Eastman is listed as the project architect, and Prudential, JPMorgan Chase, and the National Equity Fund are among the listed development partners.

A developer has just proposed what would be one of the largest residential buildings ever constructed in Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood.

The proposal calls for a new high-rise mixed-use building to be built at 28-50 McWhorter Street, 51-57 Union Street, and 108 Hamilton Street in the city’s East Ward. According to a legal notice from the City of Newark, should the 506,656.34 square foot tower be approved, it would be 12 stories tall, and include 384 residential units.

The building is being proposed by applicant and property owner 28 McWhorter St., LLC, which is registered out of the same Roseland Borough address as J&L Parking Corporation.

Currently, high-rise multi-family dwellings are not a permitted use in this district.

Retail space and parking are planned for the ground floor. A rendering of how the building is expected to look when completed was included in a December presentation by East Ward Councilman Augusto Amador and TD Bank, which referred to the project as the ‘Market Street Apartments’, though only 20 units were listed as being proposed for the development at the time.

Albino Cerqueira of MarkPolk, LLC, which is registered out of a warehouse on Wilson Avenue in an industrial section of the East Ward, is listed as the project applicant. MarkPolk is seeking Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval with variance approvals for having insufficient front yard setback, exceeding the maximum lot coverage, and insufficient building transparency.

The owner of this lot has previously courted controversy because he was improperly granted a variance for a giant surface parking lot by the Zoning Board, in an area where surface parking lots are not allowed. Neighbors fought it all the way to NJ Supreme Court, and won. But the parking lot is still there. So there's ill will with the community that might dim the chances of approval for this.

Quote:

As part of the proposal, the mansion would be rehabilitated “in a historically respectful and accurate manner,” and could feature rooms named for notable Newark natives. A new neighborhood, called a ‘Makerhood,’ would be constructed behind the building that would feature an urban farm, a plaza, 16 affordable apartments, 50 market-rate apartments, 36 parking spaces, and 16 to 20 shops, including restaurants, a dining facility possibly created in partnership with the Rutgers Food Innovation Center, artist spaces, and possibly a pub called Krueger NanoBrew. This community would include a five-story building, a seven-story building, and a ten-story building.

The project would be developed by Avi Telyas of Seaview Development, and calls for creating an affordable live/work center for makers, entrepreneurs, and micro-manufacturers that would include a business incubator, co-working space, educational support, and a community event space with a monthly speaker series. According to plans obtained by Jersey Digs, “for a combined $1,800/month an entrepreneur can lease a workspace to conduct a business such as retail, light manufacturing or artistic activities, and occupy an apartment above it for a zero-commute, low-cost operation.” There would be revenue of over $500,000 per year with a net cash flow of $24,390. 85 jobs are expected to be created upon completion of the development.

Project Update: Bears Stadium Redevelopment

Quote:

The plans for the redevelopment of the Newark Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium property and surrounding area have expanded, and the public will soon get a chance to weigh in on whether it should go forward.

The latest plans now call for 2,526 residential units, 48 live/work units, a hotel with 240 rooms, 102,144 square feet of retail space, a performance space, 2,216,820 square feet of office and commercial space, and 2,923 parking spaces to accompany the existing Essex County Improvement Authority parking garage. The entrance to the new parking facility will be along McCarter Highway/Route 21. All of that is according to a legal notice regarding a public hearing on the proposal. :cheers:

The 450 Broad Street site is apparently not the only property where developer LEG 450 Broad Street, LLC, an affiliate of the Manhattan-based Lotus Equity Group, plans new development. It has also filed an application for 422 Broad Street, a large vacant lot that sits just across Division Street from the stadium. According to a different legal notice, the company wants to subdivide the tract into three lots in connection with “the development of a mixed-use retail, office, hotel, performance space and residential project” as proposed in the other application.

Why does that area need 3,000 parking spaces? There's plenty of mass transit at that spot. Unless it'll be used partly as a park & ride. In that case the Broad St station's elevated platforms need to be extended over Broad Street with an entrance below it(or a tunnel from the NLR station to the site).

Plus you have tons of NJIT / Essex County and RU Newark students already crowding it.

That tower is taking shape. looks sweet.
http://www.nj.com/traffic/index.ssf/...rs_photos.html The light rail cars have been extended. All they need to do to make it more efficient is to stop oversignaling these trains on street level. And maybe extend it towards Lincoln Park to assist arena patrons coming from the west.

There are some high potential parking lots for the taking in central Newark. Reminds me of jersey city 20 years ago.

Renderings are out for an 11-story timber office building proposed for the Riverfront Square development in Newark, New Jersey. The site is located next to New Jersey Transit’s Broad Street station, which is less than a twenty-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan. The project is part of a larger 11.8-acre mixed-use development, as well as Riverfront Park, designed by James Corner Field Operations. Lotus Equity Group will be responsible for the development.

Ben Korman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Lotus Equity Group, said “the vision we share with Michael Green is to design the most environmentally sustainable office tower that enhances the health of tenants and the surrounding communities through efficient planning and green design.”

The structure will rise at least 120 feet to its rooftop, and yield over 500,000 square feet of office space. The exposed wood design is expected to enhance the tenant experience, and will also be environmentally sustainable.

EAST ORANGE | 256-260 South Harrison Street | FT | 18 FLOORS

Project: 256-260 South Harrison Street

https://28nwgk2wx3p52fe6o9419sg5-wpe...-rendering.jpg

A block in East Orange that is already lined with some of Essex County’s tallest residential buildings could soon be home to another high-rise development.

Jersey Digs has learned that a new 18-story multifamily project is being proposed for 256-260 South Harrison Street, between Melrose Avenue and Central Avenue. The site, located near Monte Irvin Orange Park, the Central Avenue business district, Route 280, and the Brick Church Train Station, currently contains an empty lot and a five-bedroom vacant house that is one of the few remaining single-family houses on this corridor. NJ Parcels records show that the home dates back to 1892 and was acquired by Ibrahim Hasan and Alina Zafar last year for $260,000.

Hasan, whose family runs the Newark-based real estate firm Blackstone 360, told Jersey Digs that the company’s 256-260 Urban Renewal, LLC affiliate is planning to demolish the home in order to make way for the development. If approved, the new building would come with 201 residential rental units, over 200 parking spaces, an indoor amenity space, and a ‘green roof’ atop the structure with unobstructed views of the New York Metropolitan Area. The units would be a mixture of studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms, according to Hasan, and some would include studies or balconies.

That East Orange tower looks pretty good.

The Oranges are probably gonna see significant redevelopment over the next few decades, especially near transit stations.
