Mulberry Commons is a transformational urban destination in the center of Newark, NJ. Completed in 2019, the first phase, Mulberry Commons Park, is a dynamic, welcoming space featuring an event lawn, intimate seating terraces, a play area, an illuminated interactive fountain, and a botanical garden.
Phase II will extend the park with an elevated pedestrian bridge that spans McCarter Highway and the Northeast Corridor, adaptively reusing the existing McCarter Highway bridge and creating a new elevated plaza and train Hall for Newark Penn Station.
