Fresh Perspective on Urban Living Springs to Life Next to NJ TRANSIT Broad Street Station

Occupancy is now underway at Vermella Broad Street, marking the next page of a transformative chapter for the neighborhood surrounding Newark’s NJ TRANSIT Broad Street station.

The first 50 residents have moved into the new rental community, the 14th Vermella lifestyle property crafted by Russo Development across New Jersey, following robust leasing activity since it debuted in late 2023. Viewed as an anchor for the redevelopment of the Lower Broad Street neighborhood, Vermella presents a collection of 296 expansive apartments and 40,000 square feet of modern amenities and social spaces, strategically positioned at 355 Broad Street – less than 500 feet from the train station.

“With Vermella Broad Street, we’ve introduced the pillars of our Vermella lifestyle brand to Newark, including an exceptional array of thoughtful amenities and social spaces that sets a new standard in the city,” said Adam Pasternack, President of Russo Property Management. “Simultaneously, we remain true to Newark’s vibrant heritage. The inclusion of street-level public gallery space, which will feature works of local artists and play host to diverse neighborhood creative events, reflects our dedication to community development and contributing to Newark’s rich cultural fabric.”

In line with its commitment to community engagement, Russo is providing residents with a Newark Gift Card as part of their move-in gift, tapping into an existing program designed to encourage local shopping and support the small business community.

Distinguished from the high-density, high-rise towers emerging in other parts of the city, Vermella Broad Street features twin five-story buildings spread over three acres seamlessly integrated into the existing streetscape. Residents can select from a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Designer interior features include nine-to-ten-foot ceilings, Nu-Wud flooring, walk-in closets, and large windows with custom treatments. Gourmet kitchens boast full-size stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and soft-close cabinetry, while spa-like baths add a touch of luxury. Select homes offer private outdoor balconies.
