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 as a garage, and was converted to office space for the IRS and Social Security Administration in the 1950s.
Now, the Jayson Newfield buildings are connected internally and function as a single mixed-income, mixed-use complex, anchoring a redevelopment plan for the entire city block, known as Block 912. The block introduces residential space above ground level to the neighborhood. The redeveloped Jayson-Newfield provides 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 is available to tenants in the restaurant or health and wellness industries.
