City Planning Board Approves 11-Building Mixed-Use Development In Newark, New Jersey

https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...ts-777x517.jpg

Quote:
The Newark Planning Board has approved an 11-building mixed-use complex located on the former Newark Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium campus. The 10.5-acre development site hugs the shore of the Passaic Riverfront and will be completed in nine distinct phases as CitiSquare Newark.

CitiSquare Newark is the latest project from Accurate Builders & Developers, which manages and invests in new multifamily properties throughout the east coast. When complete, the project will comprise 4,200 residential units, wellness and coworking amenities, up to 3,000 parking spaces, and 100,000 square feet of commercial space. The latter will include a mix of office suites, retail, dining destinations, and hotel property.

The residential collection will range from one- to three-bedroom rental apartments.

“The City of Newark has an incredible vision for this property and we are thrilled to partner with them on this exciting project,” said Jack Klugmann, president and CEO of Accurate Builders and Developers. “CitiSquare will be a vibrant new lifestyle destination that combines community, culture, dining, green spaces, and a location near mass-transit. Mayor Ras Baraka and Deputy Mayor Allison Ladd deserve a huge amount of credit for getting this project off the ground and we look forward to working alongside them as we create one of New Jersey’s most dynamic new neighborhoods right here in Newark.”

Most recently, the Newark Planning Board unanimously approved proposals for phase one of the development. From Ian Bader Architects, the initial phase consists of two 18-story residential buildings that are connected by a single-story structure.

The residential component will comprise 598 apartments spread across both towers. The single-story volume will contain a new restaurant, retail space, and 15,000 square feet of residential amenities.

The project team has not confirmed when phase one of the development is expected to break ground.

NEWARK BAY-HUDSON COUNTY EXTENSION WIDENING AND RECONSTRUCTION

Quote:
Location: Hudson and Essex Counties

Description: The Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension will be reconstructed and widened from two lanes in each direction to three or four between the mainline of the Turnpike at Interchange 14 and the Columbus Drive Exit. Nearly 80 percent of the 8.1-mile Extension is carried on bridge structures. Those structures are nearing the end of their design service lives and now require regular, significant, and costly maintenance. What’s more, traffic growth and substantial port-related heavy truck activity have degraded operating conditions in the corridor. Significant congestion and delays are a daily occurrence and have contributed to the poor condition of the roadway pavement and bridges. This widening and reconstruction program will include the replacement of several bridges, including the Newark Bay Bridge.

Schedule: Environmental studies and preliminary engineering began in 2021. Final design is expected to begin in 2023. Construction is expected to begin in 2026. The duration of the full program is expected to be 10 to 15 years.

$125 Million Film Studio from Lionsgate Coming to Newark

https://28nwgk2wx3p52fe6o9419sg5-wpe...dio-newark.jpg

Quote:
The state that played host to Thomas Edison’s first movie production house will soon be home to another film facility as a $125 million investment is coming soon to Newark’s South Ward.

Great Point Studios, a studio management business specializing in film and television infrastructure, has announced a partnership with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center to build a major television and film production studio called Lionsgate Studio Newark. The facility will be owned and operated by Great Point Studios and Lionsgate will be receiving naming rights under the announced deal.

The endeavor will revitalize 12 acres of the former Seth Boyden public housing complex. Jersey Digs has been following the redevelopment effort for almost two years was the first outlet to report on the possibility of a movie studio coming to the site last fall.

Great Point Studios is a joint venture with an affiliate of Lindsay Goldberg, a private investment firm. Matrix Development will serve as the project developer and San Francisco-based Gensler, a global architecture firm, has signed on to provide architecture and master planning. Operations are expected to begin in late 2024.

“One of my administration’s priorities has been to enhance New Jersey’s film industry and create new revenue streams for our State,” Governor Murphy said when announcing the deal. “With the addition of the Lionsgate Newark Studio, New Jersey will cement its position as a hub for television and film production with its proximity to all forms of transportation and access to more than 14,000 qualified union members in the region.”

Renderings Reveal Waterfront Complex At 219 West 5th Street In Bayonne, New Jersey

https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...chitecture.jpg

Quote:
The Bayonne Planning Board has granted preliminary approvals for developers to construct a sprawling six-story residential property along the Newark Bay in New Jersey. The development site is located at 219 West 5th Street in Bayonne and comprises a 2.34-acre assemblage of land that once served as a solid waste management site.

Bayonne Luxury Waterwalk, LLC is the developer behind the proposals, which were first presented in October 2020. Preliminary approvals were granted earlier this month.

Today, renderings from CPA Architecture reveal an E-shaped structure with what appears to be a gray and white cementitious façade. The first two stories of the building will house a portion of amenity spaces including a parking garage, an indoor pool, lounge areas, a fitness center, bicycle and general storage rooms for residents, a package room, and the residential lobby.

Renderings also illustrate an outdoor pool set atop the third floor.

The apartments will be located on the third through sixth floors, partially vaulted atop a garage entrance and porte cochère. This includes 14 studios, 111 one-bedrooms, and 55 two-bedrooms. About one-third of the apartments are designed as duplex, loft-style homes in one- and two-bedroom layouts.

The building’s total volume will max out at 53,567 square feet. Additional components include a surface-level parking lot adjacent to the building.

Construction has officially kicked off at 72 Eagle Rock Avenue, the site of a 265-unit rental complex in East Hanover, New Jersey. Developed by Kushner, the property will replace a vacant office building where initial demolition is also underway.

Principals of Kushner joined municipal officials and business leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony earlier this month. When complete, the garden-style residential community will include a quadrant of four-story buildings surrounding an outdoor pool deck, a clubhouse, and landscaped walking paths.

“Today’s groundbreaking is an exciting milestone for our company and for the township as we take the next step to develop the first luxury rental apartments ever to be constructed in East Hanover,” said Michael Sommer, executive vice president, Development and Construction at Kushner. “East Hanover is highly desired by residents who appreciate its small-town, suburban charm in the heart of Morris County. We look forward to adding a new, modern residential option that will appeal to both existing residents and those who will be attracted to this incredible location.”

Designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, each of the buildings feature a gray brick façade with white and gray metal accents and a simple punched window system. The rental collection will range from one- to four-bedroom layouts including 53 homes designated for affordable housing.

Beyond the outdoor pool and sun deck, tenants will have access to a fitness center with a studio for yoga and virtual fitness programs, a theater room, co-working spaces, a conference room, fire pits, and barbecue grills.

The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Renderings have been revealed for 50 Sussex Avenue, a 15-story building in Newark, New Jersey. Designed by INOA Architecture and developed by Tona Development, which won approvals to construct the project in 2021, the 150-foot-tall structure will yield 203 rental units and 2,000 square feet of commercial space. Available apartments will range from studio units up to two-bedroom floor plans.

Bayonne has approved two major mixed-used residential and commercial buildings to be constructed as the next part of the Silk Lofts redevelopment. The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve the application to construct the redevelopments at its August 10 meeting.

AMS Equities, LLC is the redeveloper for the site, located at 132, 140, 154, 157-163 Avenue E. The applicant was granted preliminary and major final site plan as well as a minor subdivision.

The plans envision two mixed-use residential and commercial buildings in close proximity to each other and adjacent to the original Silk Lofts building along the Avenue E corridor. The site also abuts the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, with the 22nd Street Station in walking distance. The Avenue E corridor has seen the redevelopment of luxury lofts right by the Light Rail.

Quote:
Renderings from architect Blackberry Studios are the first to reveal The Legacy, a five-story residential building at 751 Vose Avenue in Orange, New Jersey. The developer of the project is former professional football player Kimble Wright who envisions the project as a means to give back to his community.

The building will comprise 51 rental units. Available floorplans will include one- and two-bedroom homes, all equipped with hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and in-unit washer and dryers.

Tenants will also have access to a communal lounge, a fitness center, a rooftop terrace, and on-site parking with designated spots for ZipCar vehicles.

In 2020, Lee & Associates provided a $12.5 million construction loan to facilitate completion of the building. Avison Young will serve as general contractor.

“When Kimble engaged Avison Young, he had already gone through the extensive approvals process and was ready to start building,” said director of construction management Tony Bienert. “We partnered very closely with him and his owner’s rep team, Mills Management LLC, to identify the best strategies to successfully maximize potential areas for savings in both time and costs.”

Construction is expected to last 12 months, with full completion in fall 2023.

To move ahead, Bayoh and Frazier-Porter say they require low-income housing tax credits from the New Jersey Housing & Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA).

Bayoh and Frazier-Porter propose a five-story “affordable housing community” on city-owned properties near the corner of Springfield Avenue, a major Newark corridor. They plan six one-bedroom apartments, 24 two-bedroom units, and 10 three-bedroom apartments.

The Newark Office of Planning and Zoning has approved proposals to construct a 45-story residential skyscraper at 571 Broad Street in New Jersey. Designed by INOA Architecture for developer Israel Weiss of Oceanview Capital Management, the building will debut as Arc Tower and top out at 520 feet above ground, making it Newark’s tallest structure.

The residential component will yield more than 300 rental apartments that range from studios up to three-bedroom layouts. Amenity spaces will include a coworking suite, a fully stocked gym, communal lounge areas, and more to be announced as the project moves forward.

Additional components include around 1,800 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a small public plaza in front of the building.

As the building rises, the outermost curtain wall appears to slice open and reveals the secondary glass enclosure, a design described as a “double skin.” Beyond aesthetics, this futuristic form also creates partially enclosed outdoor terraces and stacked outdoor spaces for select apartments.

Two unoccupied structures will be torn down where the development will take shape. The project team has not confirmed an anticipated completion date.

Bayonne Set to Hear 250-Unit High-Rise Application for ‘The Standard’

Bayonne has been no stranger to large redevelopment proposals in recent years and another sizable project along Avenue E could take a big step forward this week.

The planning board had previously granted approvals for an 11-story development at the Avenue E site, but the new plans reach even higher. Drawn up by Hoboken-based MHS Architecture, the modern development would rise just over 132 feet and include 250 residential units.

A 682 square foot retail space would adorn the corner of Avenue E and 19th Streets under the plan, while 250 parking spaces would be featured in the cellar and inside the building’s first three floors. A bicycle room with space for 125 bikes is also included in the plans.

One of the largest revitalization efforts in the history of Newark could take a step forward in the coming weeks as a proposal to overhaul several acres along Broad Street will be heard by officials.

Plans have been submitted to revamp and redevelop several parcels at 516-532 Broad Street. The land, home to the former headquarters of IDT and a three-story detached parking garage across Atlantic Street, was purchased last year for $49 million by affiliates of Brooklyn-based Sinai Equity Group.

Designed by Fort Lee-based Architectura, the proposed revitalization will start by overhauling the existing IDT office property. The current building would be expanded upward to 20 floors under the plan and consist of five stories of retail, residential apartments, and a restaurant space on the top floor complete with a view of New York City.

Amenity spaces for future residents called for in the plans include a fitness center, children’s playroom, game room lounge, business center, conference room, library, and a lounge/event space.

Two green roofs are proposed as part of the project, as are a total of 1,143 parking spaces throughout the complex. The development is expected to follow Newark’s inclusionary zoning ordinance and would be completed in phases, with the initial portion being the overhaul of the IDT property.

46-Story Residential Tower Moves Forward Near Newark’s Prudential Center

https://jerseydigs.com/wp-content/up...endering-2.jpg

https://jerseydigs.com/wp-content/up...endering-5.jpg

Quote:
A stretch of Downtown Newark that is mostly known for historic buildings could soon be home to a modern sky-high apartment complex. The project would rise just steps from one of New Jersey’s most prominent entertainment venues and has recently taken a step forward.

KS Group, a local developer with several Newark projects in the pipeline, recently released some images of what would amount to their largest endeavor yet. The company has big plans for several plots of land at 200-206 Market Street, which are currently home to older structures that have sat vacant for at least two decades.

The properties are directly north of the Prudential Center and located within the Four Corner Historic District, which is listed on both state and federal designations. The company envisions a project they are calling The Newark Summit Tower on the plots, which would require demolition of the existing buildings.

Details on the project emerged during a meeting of Newark’s Landmark & Historic Preservation Commission on October 4. The committee issued the green light to begin demolition work at the property, which includes much of a current surface parking lot on neighboring Edison Place.

Newark Summit Tower is listed as “in planning” on the KS Group’s website and is designed by INOA Architecture, a firm that has worked on several other prominent Newark developments including Halo.

The first two floors of Newark Summit Tower would feature retail space under the current proposal, with the next two stories set to consist of a parking garage with 136 spaces. The remainder of the project would include 579 residential units plus amenity spaces on the 4th floor and the rooftop

KS Group is behind prominent revitalization efforts in Newark like the under construction 50 Sussex Avenue and several other approved developments like the 77-unit 380 Central Avenue. The company also recently purchased the historic Hotel Riviera with an eye towards revamping the property into a residential complex.

The Newark Summit Tower proposal is another sign that Downtown Newark is shifting gears a bit after decades of being known as a 9 to 5 business district. The proposed project is just about a block away from the second Shaq Tower, a new residential complex backed by NBA star Shaquille O’Neal..

Newark’s Preservationists Fooled Again – This Time With Proposed Pedestrian Bridge

https://jerseydigs.com/wp-content/up...3-1536x729.jpg

Quote:
The proposed $110 million pedestrian bridge is good for Newark — no one is arguing otherwise. Tourists and commuters in Mulberry Commons will have direct access to platforms B, D, C, and E in Penn Station, servicing both PATH trains and Amtrak. It will also be easier – and safer – to reach the restaurants and nightlife in the Ironbound without a Hail Mary sprint across a seven-lane speedway.

But for the second time, a major construction project is happening within a national landmark without following the proper protocol of having it approved by the city’s Landmarks Commission.

It is true that the city presented its plan for the pedestrian bridge at the commission’s last meeting. But only as a courtesy. Co-chair Richard Partyka asked the city’s presenter, lawyer Evans Anyanwu, if any of their suggestions would actually be implemented.

“No,” Anyanwu replied.

What the public has seen of the bridge, has been exciting. The colorful archway has the potential to become another beacon like Sacred Heart Cathedral and the National Newark Building. But the plan is by no means perfect. Despite being located in the city’s Arts and Education District, it is oddly devoid of the talents of local artists, one commissioner remarked.

“This should be a public competition for artists to design this,” co-chair Susanna Holguín-Veras said.

Is Newark airport's proximity actually a valid reason to deter taller skyscrapers in Newark or is that just an excuse? I remember that being one reason why skyscrapers would be rejected/stalled before but I'm glad we're seeing development now.

There are FAA restrictions depending on the route but this depends and is determined by the FAA. Under the regulations, anything above 499 ft is considered an obstruction and so, a study has to be conducted. Similar to other cities in which developments are near or by an air traffic route. Or if something is 200 ft or greater, in proximity to an air hub, a study has to be conducted. Considering Halo Phases 1-3 are rising and the recent Summit tower approval, anything below 600 ft should be okay, at least near DT Newark and surroundings but as always, depending on height, TBD.

I wouldn't expect anything of that height to be near Ironbound. If one has ever been to Ironbound section of Newark, those flights come in quite close.

Halo Construction
 
What's going on with the Halo Construction? I heard rumors ranging from electrical issues to some saying the company is out of money. Does anyone have information about Halo and the stalling?
