ArtSide 1 Center St 3,329 - 13,633 SF of Retail Space Available in Newark, NJ 07102

ArtSide at NJPAC presents a rare opportunity to establish a retail, restaurant, entertainment, or experiential concept within one of Downtown Newark’s most significant mixed-use developments. Positioned at the gateway to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center campus, the project will introduce approximately 13,633 square feet of ground-floor retail beneath 350 new residential units and adjacent to an expanding arts, education, and cultural district. The development is part of NJPAC’s broader campus transformation, which includes a redesigned public plaza, new cultural facilities, and substantial public and private investment designed to strengthen Newark’s role as a regional destination. The location benefits from exceptional visibility along Center Street and immediate proximity to Chambers Plaza, NJPAC’s year-round event venue. More than 650,000 annual visitors are drawn to NJPAC performances and programming, creating a built-in audience for food, beverage, entertainment, and service-oriented operators. The surrounding district includes a growing residential population, nearby office employment centers, higher education institutions, and direct access to Newark Penn Station, providing connectivity throughout the New York metropolitan area via NJ Transit, PATH, and Amtrak. The project’s pedestrian-oriented design, activated public spaces, and multiple venting opportunities support a variety of retail and restaurant concepts. Combined with Newark’s expanding residential base, strong daytime population, and continued investment in mixed-use development, ArtSide offers tenants an opportunity to establish a presence within one of the city’s most active and evolving urban districts.
