An old police station on Lincoln Avenue in Orange was expected to be sold for $1.2 million to a developer so that a project with 60 condominiums could be constructed. Now, the Orange Municipal Council is seeking to revoke the contract of sale and more.

“People think my interest in gravestones comes from a place that’s morbid, but it’s really about history.”

A developer is looking to construct a six-story building in an Orange neighborhood that is situated less than half a mile from the Brick Church train station.

One of the newest multi-family buildings in the Oranges has closed on a refinancing deal shortly after completing its initial lease-up.

A firm associated with Russo Development could receive a lengthy tax exemption for 33-51 Lincoln Avenue if the Orange Municipal Council approves a newly proposed ordinance.

One of the largest apartment buildings to be proposed for Orange in recent memory could be approved as early as next week.

Jersey Digs has learned that a former official with the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency and the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation has pleaded guilty in connection with an alleged conspiracy involving the Orange Public Library. In part, Franklyn Ore allegedly used money that was supposed to serve low-income families on “entertainment and restaurants.”

The sprawling property, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is set to be revamped into over 1,000 units, affordable housing, and public space that includes a skating rink.

A developer’s application calls for bringing a 103-unit project to five properties near the Highland Avenue Station in Orange.

Once a hub of industry in Central Essex County, the City of Orange is beginning to see more redevelopment. Earlier this year, two new projects opened up and now the former F. Berg & Company Hat Factory is being converted into lofts-style condos.
