I understand the desire to build this, however, I do think they need to emphasize any affordable housing in place and perhaps change the design a bit to match the historic area. While I don’t think the design is bad, they have to be willing to compromise to get this off the ground. Either way, if this gets approved, it could take 2-3 years to actually start construction.

I am a lot more interested in NJPacs development as well as more padestrian infrustructure upgrades around Military Park and Newark Penn.
