Union Square at Grand Junction, a residential and commercial development in Westfield, is set to bring new life to the city block between State Road 32, Mill, Jersey, and Union streets. Overlooking the city’s new Grand Junction Plaza, it will add apartments, retail, office, a food and beverage hall, an extended plaza area, and public parking.

“Old Town is proud of the partnership that has developed with the city of Westfield over the last five years,” Old Town Companies CEO Justin Moffett said. “Collectively, we have responded to the city’s need for increased parking and housing options. Union Square is a catalyst for a truly walkable city that connects residents with neighboring, place-making initiatives, such as the new library, the expanding trail network, and a host of small businesses that contribute to Westfield’s charm.”

Union Square at Grand Junction will be a significant part of downtown Westfield’s transformation. It includes a variety of luxury amenities for residents such as reserved covered parking, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, and an elevated pool and courtyard gathering space that will overlook Grand Junction Plaza. The three buildings will create a welcoming backdrop to the buzz of the plaza while also bringing 196 apartments, a 300-car parking garage, 17,000 square feet of retail space in the primary mixed-use building, a 15,000 square-foot food and beverage hall, and a 40,000 square-foot office/retail building.

Union Square is a great example of what can happen in a community through strong collaboration. It is only possible through partnerships, including:

  • City of Westfield
  • Lake City Bank, financing
  • Studio M, architecture and planning
  • American Structurepoint, engineering
  • Old Town Construction, on-site construction

Union Square will bring even more excitement to the Grand Junction Plaza area for Westfield residents to enjoy. Groundbreaking is expected in the fall of 2022 with move-in-ready buildings in the summer of 2024.
