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 will extend the park with an elevated pedestrian
the 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
the project will transform the revival of Newark.
