On July 22 Newark City Council voted unanimously to approve proposed designs from mall owner and developer Brookfield Properties for a Costco warehouse and 319 unit housing development. Construction could start as early as fall 2021.

The Costco warehouse would be approximately 161,000 square feet, including a bakery, pharmacy, optical center, hearing aid testing center, food court, photo center, tire sales and installation center and 10,340 square-foot open air canopy. The warehouse would also come with a 32-pump gas station.

Costco would be on the southern portion of the Newpark Mall, taking the space previously occupied by JC Penney and Burlington Coat Factory, which would be demolished to make room for the warehouse. Approximately 84,000 square feet of space inside the mall would also be removed to accommodate the new Costco building.

The 319 unit apartment building would be six stories, a mixed use project that puts residential levels over the ground floor retail and amenities along Mowry Avenue, near the entrance of the mall. The building would have approximately 3,700 square feet of retail on the ground floor and 12,900 square feet of amenities like a bike shop, clubroom, co-working space, game room and fitness room, plus a pool courtyard and six-and-a-half level parking structure with 506 spaces.
