THE new Trenton neighborhood
HHG (John Hatch, David Henderson and Michael
Goldstein) has begun work on their properties in the
100 block of Centre St. They're doing the demo work
on the interiors and starting some facade work. You
can drive by and see the progress at 50, 102-
104 and 105-107 Centre St.
HHG can't legally start marketing these properties yet
(don't have all the the approvals), but that doesn't
mean I
can't. These buildings are unique, in an activist
neighborhood and near everything (train station,
downtown, Arena, restaurants, etc). 50 Centre St. is part of the development and a quirky building that was last an Elks Lodge. It's right on the tracks which has a plus and minus. The minus is the obvious occasional noise. The plus is a rare perch at the crossroad of Trenton that's visible from every direction. David thinks this unit will go as an artist live/work space. I agree. The other buildings are across the street and were both mixed use over the years. I'm not sure how HHG will carve them up but presumably one unit per floor. So, I suggest not waiting for these opportunities to come to you, rather let HHG know you're interested with a phone call or email or both. The contact info is on the Trenton Lofts site. |

While HHG is building up Centre St., 106 Centre is
available for rent. It's a row house, and not a loft per
se, but is in an interesting part of town and owned
by good friends of mine, Roland and Annie Pott.
Roland and Annie own the adjacent Trenton Makes facility which houses artist studios, shops, The Conduit Music Club, Greenlight Vegan Restaurant and the 449 Room. As I said, an interesting neighborhood. |

Anti Pay to Play will be on the ballot
Over 3000 people signed the anti Pay to Play
initiative
banning large donations from professional companies
seeking business from the city.
Our city council had to opportunity to adopt the measure last month and three of the seven voted for it (Coston, Bethea, Melone). However, four of the council members (noticeably all three of Mayor Palmer's lackeys) voted against it. In a way this is good news, as Trenton voters will surely vote for the measure showing clearly how out of touch The Mayor and his council lackeys are with progressive Trentonians. |

Got a note from Dan Brenna. He says that work on
the Ice House is progressing and a model will open
in the next week or so.

Web Site is up
Take a look through the Broad St. Bank web site. I'm
still working to get material sent directly to those
who've asked for it, but meanwhile there's rental info
on the BSB site.

Exciting Additions
New Indian restaurant downtown
A new restaurant called Tandori by Nature recently opened on Front St. near S. Warren. They're open practically all the time so that's great. Michelle and I have tried it and not only was it tasty but the portions were "Trenton Size".

From Centex Homes
I got an email from a woman at Centex homes this
month.
They plan to build 75 townhomes in North Trenton between New York and Ohio Avenues. These aren't lofts but they are brand new market rate housing in Trenton that will be well built and a heck of a lot more reasonable to afford than if they were in nearby Lawrenceville. As the project progresses, I'll create a special space for the project on the Trenton Lofts site. |
