Orange + University Residences| 2 Development Proposal


Executive Summary

Orange + University Residences, Newark, NJ The city of Newark, New Jersey is in an interesting place in its long history. The third oldest city in the United States is on the verge of a renaissance, a redevelopment that will transform New Jersey’s largest city into a 24/7 urban center for the arts, entertainment, learning, and living. Even through the downturn in the economy, Newark has seen much progress in terms of redevelopment plans and infustructure improvements. Newark has just finished a master plan and has initiatives to improve the Broad Street Station District in the near future. A redevelopment of the station has already been completed. The city is positioning itself to become the true “Gateway City” of the region. Community Designs Architecture is making sure that it is part of Newark’s renaissance by proposing Orange + University Residences in the Broad Street Station District of Newark. O + U Residences is a 12 story 52 unit tower located at 110 Orange Street with convenient retail on the ground floor. Six residential unit types, ranging from studio to three bedroom apartments, 790 square feet to 1350 square feet respectively, allow for customization of the resident, and the many amenities, such as a fitness center, daycare facility, community rooms, and an outdoor community park, allow for any resident to feel at home. Spectacular views from each room can be had of New York City to the east and Downtown Newark to the south. The amenities do not stop with just the building; its location in Downtown Newark positions it in great proximity to so many of Newark’s hidden treasures. Within walking distance is Riverfront Stadium, the Newark Museum, James Street Historic District, Halsey Street Shops, NJPAC, Prudential Center, the new Passaic Riverfront Park, and many more.

and restaurants are just a quick walk away, and the Ironbound Section of Newark is just as easy to get to. The Newark Light Rail Broad Street Station allows residents to easily connect with the other parts of the city. The University Heights section, where Rutgers University and New Jersey Institute of Technology are located, is only a 10 minute walk from O + U Residences. This development has the opportunity to allow for young and innovative students or alumni to stay close to their alma mater or school of choice. O + U Residences is located one block away from Broad Street Station. This connects the residents with the region, the country, and the world. From Broad Street Station connections can be made via train to New York City, 20 minutes, Newark Penn Station, 7 minutes, Newark Liberty International Airport, 20 minutes, Philadelphia, 40 minutes, and western New Jersey. Also easy access to local roadways including Interstate 280, the Garden State Parkway, and the New Jersey Turnpike is only a 2 minute drive. It is Community Designs Architecture’s sincere belief that O + U Residences will be one of Newark’s first LEED Platinum Standard buildings. Green Design in today’s day and age is extremely important and allows for all citizens to enjoy the essential things in life, clean air and water, and a safe place to live. With innovative mechanical, solar, and plumbing systems O + U Residences will be model for future development. Orange + University Residences has positioned itself in a city on the rise. This development will allow for Newark to continue its growth and expansion into the 21st century.

Market Analysis

Newark has been underprivileged for too long. Even in this grim economy, Newark is on the road to making itself a destination. Nicknamed “Brick City”, Newark has always been an industrial hub. Today most industry is located in Port Newark in the East Ward. The city’s downtown was once and still is a center for the insurance industry, with Prudential Insurance as its anchor. The downtown has seen roadway improvements and pedestrian oriented street improvements implemented. These projects have helped to continue the move towards a 24/7 downtown. “Advantage Newark,” an information publication produced by the City of Newark states that residents spend up to 38% of retail dollars outside the city limits. Orange + University Residences includes on its ground floor 25,000 square feet of leasable area. There is a need for retail in the city core and this need will be fulfilled to the residents of O + U Residences at its ground floor. Affordable living is a very important part of any residential development. O + U Residences a medium income housing opportunity. Since O + U Residences is located so close to the business core of Newark and also to the city’s universities, this project will be marketed to both students and professionals. As other developments have done in the past, such as Eleven80, O + U Residences will be marketed as an alternative to living in the suburbs. A community that is close to your workplace or school of choice. The climate in which this project is being built is an advantage and hardship. The economic slowdown allows for low construction cost however financing is difficult to achieve. The government of Newark should be very accepting of a new project being proposed that will stimulate economic growth within the city. The timing is perfect due to when the economy does reverse the new building will be the first on the success list.
