The purchase included a 33,000-square-foot vacant office building and an adjacent 18,000-square-foot retail asset.<\/p>\n<p>The structures are located at 560 and 562 Broad St. in the up-and-coming University Heights neighborhood, right in heart of the city\u2019s Commercial Business District. Washington Park, eateries, accommodation options and landmarks including the Newark Museum, Newark Public Library, Prudential Center and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center surround the buildings, while the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the campuses of Seton Hall and Rutgers universities are within walking distance. Broad Street Station, interstates 78 and 280, New Jersey Turnpike and routes 1 and 9 provide easy access throughout the entire area.<\/p>\n<p>The 1920-built, four-story office building, which served as a car dealership, features floor-to-ceiling glass fronting on Broad Street. The retail structure previously housed the Broad Street Caf\u00e9 and Little Theatre.<\/p>\n<h2>Always seeking value&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Paramount Assets intends to either convert the property into a mixed-use tower or preserve the historic buildings.
