Project: Ballantine

The Newark Central Planning Board is scheduled to discuss Ballantine EFG Property Owner, LLC’s proposal for “The Ballantine” on Monday, June 21.

As Jersey Digs first reported earlier this month, this project at 74-82 Freeman Street and 428-444 Ferry Street in the Ironbound section of the East Ward would include 280 residential units, 2,652 square feet of retail space, a fitness center, co-working space, and parking if completed.

Site plans from Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners that were subsequently released by the City of Newark show that the developer is planning 80 studios, 142 one-bedroom units, 17 one-bedroom units that would each include a den, 38 two-bedroom units, and three units with three bedrooms each.

Three studios, eight two-bedroom units, and all three of the three-bedroom units are designated in the Minno & Wasko plans as being “affordable.”

The Ballantine would also include private terraces, an “amenity rooftop” with “sky lounge” and “sky bar” areas, and an “amenity courtyard” that would feature a fountain, a “hammock grove,” a firepit, an “oversized chess board,” and a “feature wall” with televisions, landscape plans from Melillo-Bauer Carman show.
