The Four Corners Millennium Project (“Millennium Project”) consists of seven mixed-use residential, hotel, office and retail buildings located in the heart of downtown Newark’s Four Corners Historic District.
What was once the busiest intersection and shopping district in the State of New Jersey and surrounding region, has over the past 25 years declined such that there exist several vacant and underutilized buildings, most of which are not occupied above ground-floor retail uses.
Recently, a few infill buildings have been renovated to bring several dozen residences and a Dinosaur Barbeque restaurant to the Four Corners area. But not until RBH Group and City of Newark officials conceived of the Four Corners Millennium Project, did anyone address the district in a comprehensive, integrated manner.
The Millennium Project builds upon the City’s master planning efforts as outlined in the Living Downtown Plan and the Master Plan to strengthen Four Corners as the active retail crossroads of the downtown by encouraging a continuous, active street wall along Broad and Market Streets that creates vibrant storefronts with day and evening uses that promote pedestrian activity on the street.
