NJ Performing Arts Center Revamp Will Add Residential, Retail
The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) broke ground on the $336-million redevelopment of its 12-acre campus in downtown Newark. The project will add hundreds of new residences, along with shops, restaurants, new outdoor gathering spaces and an education and community center with professional rehearsal spaces.
The reimagined campus, scheduled to be completed in fall 2027, will include ArtSide, a mixed-use, mixed-income residential complex developed by NJPAC, LMXD and MCI Collective, and planned and designed by firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM). ArtSide will consist of 350 rental units, 20% of which will be affordable housing, along with retail and cultural spaces.
“With this new, equitable neighborhood, we will bring affordable housing, pedestrian paths and inclusive cultural spaces together to create an arts and education-infused campus,” said Julia Murphy, SOM partner.
