Celebrating the Opening of The Pillars: A New Chapter for Downtown Newark

Last week, Senior Advisor Derek Fleming attended the grand opening of The Pillars,  Audible’s newest retail hub and a major milestone in downtown Newark’s revitalization.

 

Located on the ground floor of 33 Washington Street, The Pillars represents Audible’s largest community investment to date, a 15,000-square-foot space that brings together small businesses, wellness, and creativity. Through its Business Attraction Program, Audible is supporting local entrepreneurs with funding, mentorship, and opportunities to grow in the heart of Newark’s Arts and Education District.

 

HR&A is honored to have supported Audible in crafting the retail vision and strategy for this transformative initiative, which repurposes a long-vacant property into a dynamic hub of economic activity and community vitality in downtown Newark.

 

Congratulations to the Audible team and all the partners who brought this transformative project to life!
