The
Worldly Vibe Loft
is located in the Arts District of downtown Newark,
NJ.
Here's
a picture from the 2008 Cherry Blossom Festival
at Branch Brook Park (the largest Cherry Blossom
Festival in North America).
Branch
Brook Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (designer
of Central Park and Prospect Park), and is indicative
of how Newark was modelled after NYC. |
In the past
few years, Newark has transformed into a vibrant, hip, modern
city. The cultural institutions are top notch, including NJ
Performing Arts Center, The
Newark Museum, WBGO
Jazz Radio and a myriad of galleries, including the
Aljira Gallery, clubs and festivals. The
Prudential Center, a brand new sports and entertainment
facility, is newly opened just a few blocks away. There is a
LOT to do in Newark, and it is an extremely convenient location,
and much much much cheaper than NYC!
Newark
is 12 miles from downtown Manhattan. It's a transportation capital
- boasting Newark Liberty Airport, Newark Penn Station (Amtrak,
NJTransit, PATH trains), Newark Broad Street Station (NJTransit
trains), the Light Rail, which connects all eastern parts of
NJ, and access to all major highways. |

| The
Worldly Vibe Loft is located just outside of the redevelopment
zone, on the south side of downtown (just outside the
Ironbound). One of the few old factories left, the building
is half residential and half commercial. There are several recording
studios and workshops in the building. It is located immediately
outside of the Ironbound district.
The
loft is 4,000 sf huge and includes 6 private rooms, a workout
area with gym equipment, a large, well-equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms,
an industrial freight elevator, 2 large lounge areas, laundry,
wired or wireless internet, and parking.
The
Worldly Vibe Loft is located 10 blocks from Newark
Penn Station - about a 12 minute walk or very quick bike ride.
(There's a huge bike rack at the train station.) It takes about
35 minutes to get from the Loft to either the WTC PATH station,
or to NYC Penn Station.
Having
lived in NYC for 15 years, and in Newark for 8 years, it's my
opinion that Newark is like a 6th borough - it's actually faster
(and cheaper!) getting into midtown or downtown from here than
from many places in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island.
The difference is, that you could never find or afford this
kind of SPACE anywhere in NYC!!! |
|
Tenants
are creative professionals. It is a live/work space so many
people work from their private rooms. There is plenty of open
space for hanging out, cooking, watching TV, and playing games.
It's a place
where people can practice their architectural or interior design
concepts - residents can build, paint and decorate their rooms
any way they like.
