Renovation Plans For Historic West Orange Building Approved

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The West Orange Planning Board approved renovation plans for a historic building in the downtown area at its most recent meeting.

Earlier this month, the board gave the green light to a proposal for 14 Northfield Avenue, the Macintosh Building. See the plans here.

According to The Four Oranges:

“The new plan requires the demolition of a one-story structure in the backyard that had become structurally unstable. A patio will be constructed in its place. The ground floor of the rear warehouse will be converted into an indoor parking lot with seven spaces. The ground floor, currently home of the Mia Bella Salon, will remain retail space while the top two floors will be converted into 12 apartments.”

The next meeting of the planning board is scheduled for April 12.
