The MSW Tax Credits & Incentives team recently secured a 25-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement for the development of a new five-story, 65-unit residential building in Newark’s North Ward. The project will include 52 market-rate residential units and 13 affordable housing units, helping to expand housing opportunities within the community. Residents will also enjoy a variety of amenities, including a fitness center and resident lounge.
