Palmer Square Management LLC has received final approval from the Princeton Planning Board to develop a 24-space metered parking lot into a mixed-use building.
The parking lot on the corner of Witherspoon Street and Hulfish Street would be developed as a three-story, mixed-use building. Final site plan approval was granted by the board on April 8.
Planning Board Chair Wanda Gunning, Vice Chair Louise Wilson, and Planning Board members Julie Capozzoli, Councilman David Cohen, Alvin McGowen, Jeffrey Oakman, Councilwoman Mia Sacks, Zenon Tech-Czarny and Phil Chao voted “yes” to approve the project, which would be constructed opposite the Princeton Public Library.

The Princeton Zoning Board will continue hearing testimony from the public before it makes a decision on whether to approve the 20 Nassau St. proposed project adapting the building into a hotel.
The public hearing for the application is set to resume on Jan. 20. If approved by the zoning board, the application will then make its way to the Princeton Planning Board for review.
The adapted reuse of the 20 Nassau St. office and retail building on Nassau and Chambers streets for the proposed hotel would be a part of Graduate Hotels, which is a chain of boutique hotels. Graduate Hotels operates more than 20 hotels in locations across the United States.
