Vacant Lots

The Newark Land Bank offers vacant properties for redevelopment at competitive prices. Transform vacant lots into thriving businesses or beautiful homes, revitalize neighborhoods, and increase property values.  We're looking for responsible buyers with a strong vision, a viable redevelopment plan, and the commitment to bring a vacant property back to life.

Side Lots

Are you a homeowner with a vacant Newark Land Bank lot next door? This is your chance to expand your property. Grow a beautiful garden, add an extension to your home, build a driveway or garage for extra parking, or increase your property's footprint. To qualify to buy, you must own the property next to the vacant side lot.

Commercial/Mixed Use

Innovative developers and entrepreneurs have a unique opportunity to acquire and develop commercial/mixed-use real estate in the City of Newark.
