Newark City Council is considering a proposal to bring a new development to a group of properties situated a few blocks south of the federal government complex and East of the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Newark.
The plans call for a nine-story building to come to 337 and 339 Mulberry Street along with neighboring 17, 19, 21, and 23 Scott Street in the Central Ward. The development would also include 13 parking spaces and a roof garden.
Site plans show that there would be 14 two-bedroom units and that three types of one-bedroom units would make up the remaining 78 apartments.
In 2018, the Newark Municipal Council passed a resolution authorizing the sale of 333, 337, and 339 Mulberry Street plus 17, 19, 21, and 23 Scott Street to the developer for the negotiated price of $200,000. At the time, the project called for “approximately 90 units of affordable and market rate housing” along with one commercial space.
