The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a proposal for a new business-use (office) building at 74-78 Webster St in Newark. It would be about 30,201 square feet, with a reported construction cost of roughly $2.0 million. The latest county filing is dated October 11, 2024.
The records do not say what is on the site today, who would occupy the building, or how tall it would be. No news coverage, developer page, meeting agenda, hearing notice or public opposition was found for this address. A search turned up only an unrelated apartment listing at 74 Webster St, which cannot be tied to this proposal. The details above come from the county record alone.
Where it stands
The only confirmed step is the county filing from October 2024. No city approval or construction status could be found online. Projects like this usually go through Newark's local site-plan or zoning review, then permits, then construction.
