Following demolition last summer and a groundbreaking last fall, a $172 million, mixed-use project anchored by a new performing arts center is quickly rising in downtown New Brunswick.
A new time lapse video from New Brunswick Development Corp. shows the pace of the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center project on Livingston Ave. As the video shows, the 450,000-square-foot complex is well on its way toward its anticipated fall 2019 completion date.
The 23-story complex stands to transform the city’s famed downtown cultural arts district, with a mix that will include performance venues, office space and more than 200 luxury apartments. Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, the project will occupy the site of the former George Street Playhouse and Crossroads Theater.
