International Halal food chain The Halal Guys and New York coffee shop Oren’s Daily Roast are the first two retail tenants to sign a lease at the new business hub Ironside Newark, Edison Properties announced.

Oren’s Daily Roast will occupy 2,012 square-feet, while The Halal Guys will occupy 1,294 square-feet of the 456,000 square-foot building. The two businesses are expected to open during the first quarter of 2020.

Ironside Newark is a former warehouse that has been turned into a business hub with loft-style penthouse offices. It is located at 110 Edison Place in Newark, directly adjacent to Newark Penn Station. Edison Properties began redeveloping the property early in 2017, and the building opened this past summer.

The Halal Guys and Oren’s Daily Roast will be on Ironside Newark’s ground-floor, along with additional tenants that are expected to be announced in the coming months.

“The arrival of a storied New York City coffee shop and an internationally recognized Halal food restaurant represent the next phase in Newark’s evolution into not just a city with a thriving office market, but also a dining and cultural scene that rival any in the region,” Lenny Lazzarino, Edison Properties’ executive vice president of leasing, said in a statement.

“Both of these tenants will add to the city’s already rich list of culinary destinations downtown, in the Ironbound and beyond.”

Candy giant Mars Wrigley Confectionary and law firms Pearlman & Miranda and Robinson Miller previously signed leases as non-retail tenants at Ironbound Newark.
