Project Description
The James Street Historic District is a national historic district representing a rare Newark neighborhood. It is composed of a mixture of intact brownstones, intimate neighborhood streets, historic landmarks and parks and adjacent thriving cultural and educational institutions including Rutgers University Newark campus, NJIT, and the Newark Museum. At the edge of the district is the Broad Street Station which connects commuters to New York City and is the site of the new light rail providing transport downtown.
Newwork has developed the Master Plan for the revitalization of The James Street Historic District and has worked in collaboration with the Gale Company's Urban Solutions team to maximize the real estate potential of the district. The Plan delineates several major development clusters that address specific contextual solutions. These clusters include a mixed-use residential and commercial complex, a new renaissance school and a series of urban streetscapes and public green spaces that create coherence between the neighborhood assets ultimately producing a rich, urban living experience.
