Great cities are built one gathering place at a time.

The opening of Cortaditos Coffee at 91 Halsey Street is another example of how locally owned businesses contribute to the continued revitalization of Downtown Newark. More than serving great coffee, businesses like Cortaditos create places where people connect, culture is celebrated, and neighborhoods become more vibrant and walkable.

As developers, we know that successful cities are shaped not only by new buildings, but by the businesses, entrepreneurs, and community spaces that bring those places to life.

One of the newest additions to Newark’s growing small business scene is Cortaditos Coffee, a Cuban-inspired café built around the belief that coffee has the power to bring people together, foster meaningful connections, and create lasting community impact.

Integration isn’t a buzzword anymore — it’s the cost of staying competitive.

Today’s real estate challenges require more than expertise within individual disciplines. Successful projects depend on seamless collaboration between design, construction, finance, and business development from day one.

In his latest article, Mohammad Aldeeri, Business Development Specialist at Hanini Development, explores why breaking down silos is essential for navigating rising costs, complex approvals, and increasingly challenging development environments.

Newark Post–2026 World Cup: From Global Spotlight to Long-Term Growth

The 2026 FIFA World Cup brought global attention to Newark—but its greatest impact will be measured in the years ahead.

The city's next chapter is already taking shape through:

• Adaptive reuse of vacant commercial buildings into mixed-income housing and cultural destinations
• Housing expansion through transformative developments
• Transit and infrastructure improvements that strengthen connectivity and walkability
• Equitable redevelopment that returns underutilized properties to productive use
• Arts and placemaking initiatives that support local businesses and activate public spaces

For developers, the opportunity isn't the event itself—it's what comes next.

The cities that benefit most from global events are those that convert visibility into lasting investment, housing, and economic growth. Newark is already making that transition, and we're excited to see how the next wave of development continues to shape the city's future.

What do you think will be Newark's biggest development opportunity over the next decade?

Happy Holidays from our team at Hanini Group! 🎁

As the year comes to a close, we’ve been taking time to reflect on what this season is really about — showing appreciation, giving back, and staying connected to the communities we’re part of.
Over the past few weeks, our team had the opportunity to do just that. From working with local Newark vendors to put together holiday bags for our tenants, to spending time with teachers, first responders, and community leaders across Newark and East Orange, these moments reminded us how important it is to simply show up and say thank you.

Whether it was delivering holiday bags to educators, celebrating promotions within the East Orange Police Department, or recognizing the firefighters and officers who serve our neighborhoods every day, each experience was meaningful in its own way.

We’re grateful to our team for leading with heart and for helping make this holiday season one rooted in appreciation and community.

✨ Wishing everyone a happy, healthy holiday season and a great year ahead. ✨
