Mulberry Commons is a transformational urban destination in the center of Newark, NJ. Completed in 2019, the first phase, Mulberry Commons Park, is a dynamic, welcoming space featuring an event lawn, intimate seating terraces, a play area, an illuminated interactive fountain, and a botanical garden.
Phase II extends the park with an elevated pedestrian bridge that spans McCarter Highway and the Northeast Corridor, adaptively reusing the existing McCarter Highway bridge and creating a new elevated plaza and Train Hall for Newark Penn Station. By spurring local redevelopment and mitigating the harm of earlier planning decisions that isolated the City’s neighborhoods, the project will transform the revival of Newark.
