The Fidelco Group created two modern mixed-use buildings in order to retain and attract tenants that provide diverse services to the Newark community, in the media, legal, engineering, community-service and restaurant industries. While the newly constructed building includes 3,500 sqft of retail (ground floor), 675 parking spaces (floors 2-8) and 70,000 sqft of office space (floors 9-10), the renovated building includes 4,000 sqft of retail space (ground floor) and approximately 110,000 sqft of office space (floors 2-6).The Newark Call Center project is located in a federally-designated Hurricane Sandy Major Disaster Declaration Area and cited by the Mayor’s Office as a key catalyst for recovery. A vital component of the Project is that a significant portion of the newly created jobs are intended to be filled by residents of Newark through partnership with the Newark Workforce Investment Board (NWIB) which is a community-based non-profit that provides a localized, full-service employment and training system to make programs and resources easily available to residents and employers. The project will support numerous high-quality jobs, bring additional economic activity into downtown Newark, and catalyze additional development in the Newark CBD.
