Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-04-13

Among the large transactions recent
~ completed to which the dealers refer
are the bank and office building at
Broad and Mechanic streets, which is
being completed by the State National
Bank. Several hundred business Of
fees will be added to Newark's fast
growing financial centre by this addi-
ron. In its p sent state the bank has
already made an important change in
the sky line near the -Four Corners"
other changes in the sky line will
soon be effected, the real estate firms
assert. referring to the proposed Kin
ney building, which will soon be erect
ed at the southwest corner of Broad
= d Market streets. the big build
ing proposed for the southwest cor
site was recently acquired by the
Union National Bank.
Not only has the real estate business
been increasing at a marvellous rate in
the neighborhood of the -Four Cor
ners," but the same ratio of advance
ment is reported by the operators who

dence sections of Newark. Weequahic

Gence districts and represent the ideal

ark business mar is not the only ono
TO see the advantages in these sections
Of Newark, but many prominent New
York financiers have located their
homes here.
The Pennsylvania short line has
made committing to the outlying Sec
tons of Newark very convenient and
comfortable. The trains are many and
swift. Other railroads have seen the
advantage of catering to the persons
residing in the outlying sections of
Newark and suburbs, and any part of
the residential districts is within easy
access of a railroad. These facts are
pointed put to prove that Newark Is
not a factory city" entirely.
While Newark has more factories.
engaged in more numerous industries
thar any other city of it's size in the
world, it's facilities and pleasant sur
roundings appeal to the seeker of an
ideal home location.
Some of the Big Buildings.
In addition to the group of Prudential
buildings, which represent hundreds of
millions of dollars invested, among
Newark business district additions are
the Essex County National Bank, in
Broad street, near Bank, adjoining the
new Public Service Corporation build
ing. A few months ago the Prudential
Insurance Company bought in almost
the entire block bounded by Broad and
Halsey streets, on the east n west,
and Bank and Academy streets, or the
south and north. While the Prudential
has not yet given out it's plans in re-
gard to this property, it Is believed by
well-informed business men that the
Rock of Gibraltar" will soon grow to
even greater size on this block, bring
ing millions of dollars in investments
to this city and boosting the real es-
tate values in every section of the city
p~erceptibly.

the present general plans of the bank
officials are carried out. Just what
kind of a building it will be the officers
of the bank declare they do not know
themselves at present. A number of
leases are held on the Osborne Realty
building offices. The Riker Drug Conn.,
pany has a lease on the main floor
which has seven years to run. Warren
N. Trusdell Sc Co, bankers and brok-
ers. have recently taken a three-year
lease in the Clinton street front main
floor offices. Other important concerns

structures in the vicinity will undouDt-

recently declared President William
Scheerer.
The large buildings in the course OF
construction and those contemplated
in the vicinity of Broad and Market
streets were commented upon by Rob-
ert A. osborne recently. MI. Osborne
has been dealing in Newark real estate
for many years and appreciates the
growth Of Newark, past, present and
future, and gave his opinion as fol-
lows:
",Just look at what these big build
ings have done for Newark in the past
few years. The values have gone up
at a tremendous rate. They have to,
in the face of such progress.
GAS to the future of Newark there
can be no doubt. Every big financial
oncern in the State, and those of
other States, for that matter, also, have
been Just aching to get n finger in the

Union Nationals Big Deal.

Several weeks ago many prominent
bankers and real estate operators closed
@ deal which will mean much to New
ark during the next few years. It was
the purchase of the Osborne Realty
Building, at the southeast corner of
Broad and Clinton streets, by the Union
National Bank.
This bank represents the merger of
three banks and its officers and direc-
tors are Interested in the biggest enter
prises of the State. Uzal H. McCarter.
vice-president of the bank, who an
nounced the purchase In the absence OF
President William Scheerer, is also
president of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany. The latter is one of the largest
financial institutions in the State and
has recently opened a savings bank on
the ground floor of the Prudential
Building. opposite it's main offices,
where Petty's drug store was con-
Quoted.
President Thomas N. McCarter, of
the Public Service Corporation, is also
chairman of the building committee of
the Union National Bank, which shows
that the largest interests, not only in
Newark, but in the State, are concerned
In the recent purchase by them of the
Osborne Realty Building.
More than a month ago the Union
National Bank offices announced their
intention of vacating the present quar-
tiers at 75S-760 Broad street for a few
months, during which time they pro-
posed to build a modern bank build
ing on the site. These plans were
nearly completed when the bank Of
icials and Robert A. Osborne, presi-
dent of the Osborne Realty Company,
came to an agreement and the bank
purchased the corner property, which
gives it an important position In the
financial centre of Newark.

New Kinney sIkyscraper Soon.

Within a short time a sister building
to the Firemen's will begin to creep
skyward, for the heirs of the Kinney
estate, who control the choice site on
the southeast corner of Broad and
Market streets, are busy perfecting he
plans for the giant office building
which will take the place of the half
dozen present incumbents in Market
and Broad streets at this site. 1t Is
known hat the contracts for the work
will be given out shortly, n already
'~soundings" ave been made to de-
termine the depth needed for a foun-
| dalton for the new skyscraper. WILL
lam B. Kinney, speaking for the estate,
said:
"Our architects are hard at work on
the plans, and I do not think 1t VIII
be long before they will be completed.
The contracts are being worked into
shape, also. n will be awarded In
the near future, I expect"

with the advent of spring" said DR..
Charles f. Kraemer. the suburban real
estate development is bound to wake
up and take an impetus. Already many
are sending in communications regard
ing suburban properties, and in another
week or two the suburban dealers will
be doing a great business. They have
already felt the movement in advance
of this ~seasonable agitation"
Several Large Deals Pending.
That several large deals are to be
consummated within the next two
weeks was the assertion made by Mr..
Seamon, of the office of Louis Schles-
singer. There is a deal right in the
heart of the city that will come as al
| surprise and that VIII make the public
take notice. said Mr.. Seamoh. I'VE
now nave q man on his way to Europe
to close a deal which will also have a
bearing on the local real estate situa-
ton. There are several interests to be
looked after before these deals can be
made public, but they are as good as
closed"
Another big office building in the
business district which Is nearing COM
pletjon is the Ordway building, at
Beaver and Market streets. Directly in
the rear of this building is the Essex
building, rightly described as zone
short block from everywhere giving
to Newark about 800 modern business
offices. which have been appreciated by
the ofhce-seekers, business. not polit-
zeal.
The Union building is still popular
with Newark lawyers and business con-
Germs and is f1ourishing, notwithstand-
ing the many rivals which AVE sprung
up in that vicinity during the past few
years. The skyscraping Firemen's
building is located in the heart of the
second busiest corner in the United
States and the prominence and num-
Der of it's occupants demonstrate that
progressive business men simply avail
the chance for improvements such as
the Firemen's building offered, and
they grasp them quickly
