REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Newark Penn Station - Space M

NJ TRANSIT is interested in receiving Expressions of Interest from experienced, financially sound individuals or entities to propose the operation of a retail concession at NJ TRANSIT’s Newark Penn Station.

NJ TRANSIT’s Newark Penn Station is located in the heart of Newark’s Ironbound District, a vibrant and revitalized downtown neighborhood. The station offers convenient access to many of the city’s cultural and entertainment destinations and serves as a key transportation hub for both commuters and visitors. Newark is home to numerous corporate headquarters, and the station is heavily used by attendees of events at the nearby Prudential Center Arena (“The Rock”), which hosts over 200 events annually, including concerts by world-renowned artists and sporting events for the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and the NCAA’s Seton Hall Pirates.

NJ TRANSIT Rail Ridership attracts approximately 16,000 average weekday passengers to the Hub. Other transportation services available within the Station include NJ Transit Light Rail and Bus, Amtrak Rail, and PATH lines. Connections from this Station are made to Midtown NYC, the World Trade Center, Jersey City’s Newport Center and downtown Hoboken within minutes.   

Formerly occupied by McDonald’s, “Space M” offers approximately 5,000 square feet of prime retail space just steps from the main waiting room. The space features direct street access, ensuring strong visibility and heavy foot traffic. NJ TRANSIT is open to proposals that include subdividing the space to suit multiple users/concepts. Proposers are encouraged to present attractive improvements and design concepts that will complement the ongoing enhancements to the retail environment at Newark Penn Station.

Selection of a Lessee(s) will be based upon review of proposals submitted to NJ TRANSIT in response to a Request for Proposal package issued to parties submitting an Expression of Interest.

Please submit an Expression of Interest.
