Proposed long term projects
14: Development Sites
The diagram above indicates potential new development sites (numbered in purple) as well as renovation sites (in red) for buildings currently empty.
1: Corner Development at Lafayette Street and South Broad Street. This development site affords an estimated 10,000 sf building floorplate and 200 linear feet of street frontage. The 40’-60’ building depth would accommodate a variety of building functions and uses (housing, office, retail). More importantly, the site would anchor the edge of Downtown Trenton while offering stunning views of Mill Hill Park, and Assunpink Creek, and the Delaware River.
2: Corner Development at Assunpink Drive and South Broad Street. Similar to site #1, this site would offer a 10,000 sf building floorplate with views of Mill Hill Park, the Assunpink Creek, as well as the Trenton skyline in the distance. The building Depth is also conducive to housing, office, and first floor retail uses.
3: Corner Development at Livingston Street and South Broad Street. This site is at a current surface parking lot of the Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church. The potential development floorplate would range between 3,500-5,000 sf depending on the amount of surface parking to be removed from the site.
4: Infill Development at the former Jail Plaza. This site has been converted into a parking lot for the County but has the potential to accommodate a 5,000-8,000 sf building footprint. The street frontage could be as long as 54’.
5: Infill Development in the 200 Block of Broad Street. Currently for sale, this lot could easily accommodate a 4,000-6,000 sf building footprint with 49’ of street frontage.
6: Infill Site adjacent to the former Bank at Market and South Broad Streets. This site affords a 1,300 sf footprint and would allow for the elimination of the curb cut at the bus stop.
7 and 8: Infill development sites with an approximate 1,300 sf floorplate. The land use ordinance should be amended to allow for these sites to be redeveloped without off-street parking due to the existing conditions and the burden of the narrow lot widths.
9: The Whittaker Site: currently in construction, this project will feature market-rate housing.
10: Corner Development Site at Greenwood Avenue and South Broad Street. This current surface parking lot could yield a 2,500-5,000 sf floorprint with 140’ of street frontage.
11: Corner Development Site at Centre Street and South Broad Streets. This City-Owned site is currently fenced in and has no functional use. The 2,200 sf building footprint would also provide 140’ of street frontage. Views include the River (from upper stories) as well as the Historic Sacred Heart Church Complex.
12: Development Site at South Broad Street (across from Ferry Street). This 7,400 sf building floorplate site could help to continue the street wall of Broad Street. The site offers views to the Eagle Tavern directly opposite the site.
13: Corner Development Site at South Broad Street and Hamilton Avenue. This site is currently planned to be the new Headquarters of the New Jersey Association of Realtors. The proposed three story building features offices on the upper two floors and retail space at the first floor.
In total, assuming 4-story construction and not including basement spaces, there exists over 300,000 sf of potential development area as indicated in the purple zones. This would include over 73,000 sf of first floor retail or office space. It is estimated that over 200 units of housing could be constructed within these footprints as well. If renovations (in red) included housing at all upper floor levels, approximately 300 units of housing would be possible. At 2.5 individuals per housing unit, this would represent an increase of 1,250 residents within the site area.

The Whittaker Development (currently under construction) will take advantage of the large empty lot in the center of the 300 block of South Broad Street for market-rate apartments and condominiums. A proposed second phase includes additional buildings at the rear of the property along Conovers Alley.
The three story building features a central building entry facing South Broad Street and a parking lot at the rear of the property (accessed by Conovers Alley). Residential units will be available to rent or purchase and the project is planned as a Market-Rate housing project.

The open site at Hamilton Avenue and South Broad Street is currently in the design phase to become the new home to the New Jersey Association of Realtors.
The proposed rendering of the building indicates retail uses at the first floor of the building with office space at the upper two floors. The architectural character of the building is to harmonize with existing adjacent buildings within the Arena District.
