The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County planning records show a proposed new business-use (office) building at 58 Union St in Newark, Essex County. It would be about 18,767 square feet, and the reported construction cost is about $3.6 million.
The records do not say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or what its height or layout would be. A web search found no news coverage, hearing notices, developer page or opposition tied to this project.
One caution: search results show 58 Union St also appears as a residential rental address in Newark. They did not show whether that is the same site, so no link is assumed.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic, parking and job effects cannot be judged because the records give no details on use, staffing or site design.
- The nearby 55 Union St apartment project is a separate development and is not part of this proposal.
Where it stands
