213 Newark Avenue

213 Newark Avenue was a vacant lot just west of Jersey Avenue. For years the property had been for sale with a approved plans for a 5 story residential complex-- a rather ghastly looking plan. The property was sold early last year, and now Treetop Development, the same folks who are erecting Ivy House are breaking ground on a revised 6 story building. The new design will have some retail, but more importantly the project seems to moving forward, a big step in revitalizing Newark Avenue. So far a crane has been delivered to the site likely in anticipation of driving piles for the building.
