NEWARK, NJ—The New Jersey Performing Arts Center and developer Dranoff Properties of Philadelphia are poised to begin construction on Newark's first ground-up upscale residential high rise since 1960. The project's financial arrangements and real estate closings were completed last week, says NJPAC CEO John Schreiber.
The $116-million project has been financed through a unique public private partnership, which includes contributions from the city of Newark; the state of New Jersey; Prudential Financial; Fifth Third Bank; the developer and NJPAC.
“One Theater Square embodies a vision of downtown Newark more than a quarter century in the making,” Schreiber says. “We are celebrating the result of the visionary work of NJPAC founders Governor Thomas Kean; philanthropist Ray Chambers; its first CEO Larry Goldman; and the State of New Jersey and the City of Newark, which have been steadfast in their support of the project through multiple administrations. This is a transformative moment in a great city's advance toward an even greater future.”
