County records show a proposed new apartment building with five or more units on Block 1918, Lot 3.01 in Newark. The county lists it at about 11,812 square feet, which points to a fairly small to mid-sized building.
The county records do not say what is on the site now, how many units are planned, or who will live there. No developer website, news coverage, meeting agenda, hearing notice or permit could be tied to this block and lot, so no opposition, approvals or tenants are known.
The latest county filing is dated November 21, 2025. A filing like this means the project has entered the review process. It does not mean it has been approved.
What it could mean nearby
- New apartments would add homes to the neighborhood, but the number of units is not stated in the records found.
- Traffic, parking, school and utility effects cannot be judged until a site plan is public.
Where it stands
The project has a county planning filing dated 2025-11-21, and no local approval or hearing result was found online. Next, the city's planning or zoning review usually follows, with a public hearing if variances or site plan approval are needed.
