Longworth Street is named for a colonial shoemaker who worked this corner in the 1750s. The trade he practiced built Newark into America's leather capital. The mansions that rose on that wealth still stand on either side of this lot. The lot itself sat empty for decades. Brick City Heights puts 52 units on it - 75,647 SF across basement parking, a concrete podium, and four wood-frame floors above. Half the units are two-bedrooms. Nine three-bedrooms run up to 1,232 SF. Eleven units are income-restricted under Newark's IZO. Arriscraft base, brick and fiber cement above, corbeled cornice holding the line between two National Register mansions. Rooftop terrace, courtyard, fitness center, community room.
