A seven-story hotel and an apartment building will be constructed at the center of Newark s Main Street.
Newark City Council Monday night approved a revised version of Lang Development Group s Green Mansion hotel project first considered by council two years ago.
The new project features a smaller hotel with fewer amenities and does away with the original plan for office space. Developer Jeff Lang said the changes were made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to shifts in the office market and travel landscapes. This is going to generate tremendous revenue to the city but more importantly it s going to generate a tremendous shot in the arm for our downtown community, said Chris Locke, senior vice president and general counsel for Lang Development.
