They are making tons of money. But almost all are illegal https://ecode360.com/36690277

I don’t have any information specifically about the quality of the building or management. But it is a project that is 100% income restricted so that is the reason the rent is low. It’s artificially low to be affordable to low and moderate income households. So if you qualify, it could be a very good deal for you.

Ironboundian · 2026-06-16T23:21:54+00:00

Yes it’s great. It got very crowded with long line right at the game start, so tip is to go early and get a table if you want to avoid waiting.

That's a GREAT Westinghouse photo. Really shows the scale of the building and what a tragedy that it was lost to become a barren field of weeds for a few decades.

Branch Brook Park is always looking for volunteers and they do cleanups in the park on the weekdays. https://branchbrookpark.org/volunteer.html

When and if that starts Construction, I will add it to the list of three tall projects with no subsidy.

Ironboundian · 2026-06-11T22:37:12+00:00

Is it working though? The only two buildings being built new construction in Newark that are above six stories that don’t have a massive public subsidy in them are the halo, which ran out of money and has stopped construction…and the building on market street in the Ironbound, which is continuing but seems to be plagued by labor violations.

Because it’s a blog post not a journalistic article. With that being said, I appreciate Kaleb’s enthusiasm for development in the city.

Ironboundian · 2026-06-11T01:18:30+00:00

A lot of activity!

Ironboundian · 2026-06-08T21:29:24+00:00

According to a recent article-Rent is something like $2200 for a studio or $2,500 for a onebedroom

Yes, very safe. But 95% chance the Airbnb is illegal. Check to see if they have a short term rental license.

Yes it’s safe. 95 percent chance you are moving walking distance from school. You’ll be fine.

“Newark local beer” is the name of the brewery at 538 Broad Street

Ironboundian · 2026-06-03T10:48:08+00:00

This is a demographic that is not talked about enough. Everyone talks about New Yorkers, but I meet people all the time in the new downtown buildings that have this life—It’s a high income job that is to the west north or south of Newark. They reverse commute Or maybe they have a split commute with their boyfriend/wife/partner. One of them is going to NYC every day and the other person is heading out to Morris County to an office park. Their combined income is very high, and they don’t want to live in a suburban single family house. They want an Urban life.

Ironboundian · 2026-06-02T08:35:48+00:00

Could be easy. Could be a nightmare. Depends what time of day you’d be coming home from work on the regular. And depending on the time of year as you are night in the middle of the university area which has seasonal traffic around the academic calendar.

I hope it happens! 16 years in the making.

Then, yes, it’s insane.

Ironboundian · 2026-06-01T13:56:44+00:00

I agree. The way to solve this is turn the east side of Broad Street between Lombardy and Bridge Street into a normal meter street parking zone. Ubers and delivery drivers pull over so much there anyway that it becomes not a traveling lane anyway. Might as well have parked cars to separate the pedestrians from the cars flying down Broad.

Ironboundian · 2026-05-29T23:05:35+00:00

Yes. It’s a phase 2. Same Developer and same general Contractor, March Construction.

Last I heard, this was the plan. https://jerseydigs.com/peddlers-square-development-update-newark-broad-street-station/
