County records show a building permit for a mixed-use project at 34-40 Hudson St in Newark. It would combine business space with a multifamily residential building, totaling about 68,510 square feet.
The records do not say how many apartments or how many floors are planned. They also do not say what stands on the site now or which businesses might move in. Searches for news, meeting agendas, hearing notices and developer pages turned up nothing about this address, so there is no public information yet on opposition, approvals or tenants.
A building permit usually comes after the main local land-use approvals. That suggests the project may be moving toward construction, but the records here do not confirm it.
What it could mean nearby
- A multifamily building would add new homes in Newark, though the number of units is not stated in the records.
- The business space could bring shops, offices or other services and some jobs. The type of use is not specified.
- Traffic, parking, school and utility effects are not described in the available records.
Where it stands
