NEWFIELD + JASON BUILDING | 2021
The Jayson Newfield project consists of the adaptive reuse of two century-old buildings. The Jayson Building is mostly wood-framed and was originally constructed in 1893. It was built for a local small business owner. In the 1920s, the space was used as an automobile showroom and then garage, converted to office space for the IRS and Social Security Administration in the 1950s.
Upon completion, the Jayson Newfield buildings will be connected internally and function as one mixed-income mixed-use complex and will anchor a redevelopment plan for the entire city block, known as Block 912. The block will be introducing residential space above the ground level to the neighborhood. The redeveloped Jayson-Newfield will provide 104 apartments with 37 of the units offered at a range of affordable rates. On the ground level, 8,000 square feet of retail space will be available to tenants in the restaurant or health and wellness industries.
