Innovation in Jobs

Creating jobs has underpinned each Goldman Sachs investment and project in Newark, specifically through the redevelopment of blighted buildings and construction of new facilities. One investment to redevelop a neglected structure into a state-of-the-art facility now serves as a hub for innovation, attracting new businesses to the city center such as AeroFarms, the world’s largest vertical farm. Goldman Sachs also financed the rehabilitation of the historic Hahnes Building, a former landmark left vacant for decades that now houses a mix of retail and residential uses, including Newark’s first Whole Foods Market, helping provide the surrounding neighborhood with access to healthy food and great local jobs.
