All new central systems – HVAC, elevators, lighting, security;

Digital signage kiosks;

A new streetscape;

Fit-outs for Newark’s emerging high tech tenant base.

“The demand for Class A office space in Newark continues to grow and 33 Washington’s location and amenities make it a highly desirable address for companies that want to be downtown,” said Miles Berger, CEO of Berger Organization. “We are also very excited about new developments within the neighborhood and what those will mean for the city’s business community.”



The property is two blocks from Newark Broad Street commuter light rail and half a mile from Newark Penn Station.
