Urby Expands to Newark

The first Urby property opened in 2016 and has since expanded with properties in New York City, Jersey City, Harrison, Stamford, and Dallas, as well as future developments underway in major cities like Philadelphia Miami, and D.C. Newark Urby is the newest property to open in the Essex County area and began leasing this past October. Located at 155 Washington Street, Newark Urby features 250 brand new apartments in a mixed-use community — meaning it goes beyond just residences and also houses community space and a cafe. The building was restored and modernized from a historic 18-story Art Deco tower. Designed by Amsterdam-based architect Concrete, Newark Urby features imaginative interior design that preserves some of the original design elements to create residences that blend 1920s architectural charm with contemporary finishes and functionality. 

Some of the amenities included at Urby  are generous fitness areas,  peaceful outdoor spaces, and onsite cafes — this is the kind of place where residents can work from home in style. With a hospitality inspired mindset, the Urby team also places an emphasis on being flexible, empathetic, and in-touch with the needs of their residents and visitors. 

An Inside Look at Newark Urby

Newark Urby includes studios, as well as one, two, and three bedroom apartments. The common spaces are flooded with natural light, highlighting the  warm wood finishes, lush greenery, and playful art + décor.

The residences feature built-in storage, hardwood floors, upscale kitchen finishes, and an individual washer/dryer in each apartment. The large windows provide panoramic views of the surrounding neighborhood. Smart technology systems with Latch keyless smartphone entry and Amazon package lockers bring convenience literally right to your doorstep.

The ground floor courtyard was designed by internationally recognized landscape architecture firm, Bureau Bas Smets, and creates an urban oasis for residents wanting to escape the rush of city life. Enclosed by a tranquil bamboo forest — yes, really — the courtyard includes three circular seating areas and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
