Gateway Transit Village rises 23 stories on the block adjacent to the New Brunswick Train Station, bringing renewed life to an underutilized site in the city’s core with active sidewalks, new luxury residences, and a focus on diverse activities at the entrance to Rutgers campus. The project serves as a gateway to both downtown New Brunswick and the Rutgers College Avenue Campus.
College Avenue, the central spine of the campus, is directly connected to the train station’s southbound platform via a pedestrian walkway that extends to Somerset Street. To maintain the pedestrian friendly nature of the area, the residential tower was developed over a lower scale podium. This design allows excellent views and easy proximity to downtown amenities and offerings for residents, while also providing direct and convenient access to mass transit.
