Newark Mayor Ras Baraka must have snuck into our recent seminar — The Newark Redevelopment Update — and heard the buzz about this proposed resolution because it appears he ran out and got it enacted into law immediately. What is so silly about his maneuver is the fact that it is clearly illegal and will be more than likely overturned rather quickly. So why pass such a resolution in the first place?
Join us June 7 for The Newark Redevelopment Update
Despite billions of dollars in new investment, Newark still trails the likes of Jersey City, Hoboken, Harlem and Brooklyn Heights, which have been transformed by redevelopment and an influx of new residents. When will it finally happen? What still needs to be done?
Hear from the developers and insiders behind the city’s most important commercial real estate projects, as they tackle those questions and more in this must-attend event.
The Morris County EDC Presents the 30th Annual Partners in Economic Development Awards
At the 30th Annual Partners in Economic Development Awards, industry experts from around the state will discuss real estate development in New Jersey and its potential for the next five years. The Morris County Economic Development Corporation is hosting this conference, which will occur on Friday, April 14, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Morristown. This is a fantastic opportunity for attendees to gain valuable insight into current trends and strategies in real estate development and network with other professionals in the field.
Maximizing value through placemaking
Thoughtful placemaking executed with the proper design strategies creates a vibrant, authentic sense of place offering value through rental and occupancy premiums and allows for real estate to evolve and meet current sustainable lifestyles. More than just mixed-use developments, successful placemaking projects seek to attract people, make them feel comfortable and activate the built environment in ways that encourage them to stay or return. Today’s residents, office tenants, retail patrons and pedestrians desire an integrated living, working, learning and shopping environment that is intentionally planned to create places that foster community and neighborhood growth.
Apartment design, development evolving to meet growing pool of renters by choice
More U.S. households are renting apartments now, than at any point in the past 50 years, according to the PEW Research Center. Many of today’s renters do so by choice, citing greater flexibility in lifestyle, liquidity and maintenance. Increased mortgage rates, rising inflation and uncertain economic times all help to bolster the current multifamily rental market. While apartment leasing itself is forecasted to remain strong in 2023, the resident experience continues to evolve to better meet the needs of a growing population of renters by choice.
