PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Gibbons continues to work with Accurate Builders & Developers on transformative projects across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. In 2022, led by Director Andrew Camelotto, Gibbons counseled Accurate on a number of significant, complex matters, involving acquisitions, financing, leasing, redevelopment, land use, public finance, construction and labor issues. The firm’s efforts included refinancing and obtaining key approvals for the redevelopment of the former Newark Bears Stadium site into a multiphase mixed-use development known as CitiSquare. Construction costs for the project are estimated at $2 billion. Once complete, CitiSquare will transform the now vacant site into a vibrant mixed-use community consisting of approximately 4,200 residential units, 100,000 square feet of commercial/retail space and accessible green and open space.
