HR&A Congratulates Audible on the Launch of The Pillars, Advancing Inclusive Growth in Newark

Congratulations to our client Audible on the upcoming launch of The Pillars in Newark’s Arts and Education District — a new model for community-centered retail and investment. The Pillars will feature diverse, independent tenants that reflect Newark’s cultural and entrepreneurial strength while creating opportunities for local businesses and founders who have historically faced barriers to access.

 

The space is designed to be inclusive, with a program that goes beyond traditional neighborhood service retail to activate the surrounding area and build an authentic sense of place. HR&A supported Audible’s Global Center for Urban Innovation in shaping the vision, tenanting strategy, and market analysis for this exciting project near Harriet Tubman Square.

 

We’re looking forward to seeing The Pillars open this fall as a hub for culture, creativity, and community in downtown Newark!
