Union Approves Six-Story Building With 113 Apartments

Live Poll

Would you support large new apartment buildings with public plazas in your downtown?

Union Township's planning board approved a six-story mixed-use building with 113 apartments in downtown Union. The project is the latest phase of Landmark's Centurion Union Center development at Stuyvesant and Morris avenues.

Why it matters

The approval adds residences and ground-floor retail to a downtown area and anchors a planned public plaza in the Union community. It extends a multi-phase development that is reshaping the local streetscape.

The newly approved building adds 113 apartments and about 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail to Centurion Union Center, which currently holds 267 rental residences and 15,000 square feet of occupied retail. Construction timing and project cost for the new building were not stated.

MHS Architecture

Melillo Bauer Carman Landscape Architecture

Melillo Bauer Carman Landscape Architecture designed the 24,000-square-foot public plaza planned for the development.

The details

The planned building will include shops and restaurants on the ground floor opening onto a 24,000-square-foot landscaped public plaza, with a 10-foot-wide area set aside for outdoor dining. A passageway will connect the plaza to a recently completed public parking garage with 105 spaces, and 143 structured spaces are planned for the new building.

A 92-residence mixed-use building under construction is expected to be completed in 2027.

Market Landscape

The approval continues the phased build-out of Centurion Union Center, with each stage adding residences and retail to the same downtown site. Together, the six planned buildings would bring the development to about 472 residences and 45,000 square feet of retail space.

Downtown Union residents and shoppers will gain new apartments, ground-floor restaurants and shops, and a public plaza with outdoor dining space. The attached parking garage and passageway are designed to make the plaza accessible without walking along Morris Avenue.

The takeaway

Projects like Centurion Union Center show how phased downtown developments can combine housing, retail, and public gathering space. Residents interested in the area's growth can track later phases as construction proceeds.
