Clean lines and natural light enhance the residences nestled within The Mercer’s stylish 12-story retreat. Whether desiring a one- or two-bedroom unit, or even a loft, each home features an intentional layout to maximize the available space. High ceilings and walls of oversized windows are complemented by exposed cement pillars and contemporary flooring, bringing timeless design and utility to the residences.
Bathed in natural light and defined by clean architectural lines, the residences at The Mercer offer a sense of refined calm within Newark’s cityscape. Spanning a curated mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts, as well as loft-style homes, each unit is thoughtfully designed to optimize flow and function. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and exposed concrete pillars lend a subtle industrial edge, with an effortless blend of form and utility.


Open-concept living and dining areas create a seamless backdrop for everyday living or elevated entertaining. Modern kitchens anchor the space with generous quartz or granite countertops that extend into casual breakfast bars, framed by soft-close cabinetry. A full suite of stainless steel appliances – including a freestanding range – ensures cooking is a breeze.


Naturally lit and airy, the bedrooms at The Mercer function as serene havens. Custom-designed closets fulfill storage needs, ensuring ample space and helping maintain the sleek, tidy feel of each bedroom. These pet friendly homes also include an in-unit washer and dryer, and smart home features for additional comfort and convenience.



Everyday living at The Mercer is enhanced by carefully chosen on-site amenities. Peace of mind was at the forefront of the elevator building’s design with controlled access and on-site security, plus package lockers for mail. The building’s fitness center boasts state-of-the-art equipment to achieve fitness goals, while the co-working lounge contains plentiful seating and space to promote productivity. Residents can also enjoy the added lifestyle perks of an on-site café and a rooftop deck – perfect for taking in fresh air or a morning coffee without ever leaving the building. Bike racks and nearby garage parking (for an additional fee) offer extra daily convenience.

The Mercer’s location at 10 Commerce Court is a commuter’s dream with the Newark Penn Station, Light Rail, and major bus lines in close proximity. Arrive at NYC in 25 minutes and Newark Airport in 10 minutes, while local Newark employees can simply walk or bike to one of the many modern office towers. Rutgers-Newark and NJIT campuses are also nearby, along with downtown dining, bars, shops, and cultural attractions, such as NJPAC performances and Devils games at Prudential Center.
For those who enjoy the great outdoors, Military Park is only three blocks away where four acres of historic green space await. Alternatively, hop on the light rail and venture to Branch Brook Park to explore 360 acres of recreational space and admire America’s largest collection of cherry blossoms. There is an inviting lifestyle for everyone in Newark, and The Mercer offers easy access to everything its residents could desire.

Residents at The Mercer also benefit from the Good Neighbor Program, an innovative initiative to cultivate community and a sense of belonging. This exciting neighborhood investment program rewards residents for participating in their community via volunteering or working with partner organizations. The hours dedicated to supporting the community not only encourages community ties among neighbors, but also includes rent discounts to help residents with affordability. Participants in the Good Neighbor Program receive a rent credit based on the number of hours they volunteer monthly, with the savings credited monthly to their rental unit.

With a prime downtown address, a curated collection of amenities, and thoughtfully designed residences, The Mercer sets a new standard for modern rental living in Newark.
