The City of Trenton’s Department of Housing and Economic Development has released multiple Requests for Information (RFIs), inviting qualified developers, builders, and community development organizations to submit information and expressions of interest for the redevelopment of infill housing, mixed-use projects, and historic residential properties. These RFIs are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to expand housing opportunities, strengthen mixed-use corridors, and preserve historically significant buildings.

The City invites qualified developers, builders, and community development organizations to submit information and expressions of interest for the preservation and redevelopment of a historic residential property located at 48–54 Passaic Street, Trenton, NJ.

Originally constructed in 1690, it was a stone structure as first built as a barn for storing goods along Canal Street, reflecting Trenton’s early colonial roots. Over time, the building was converted into townhouse-style residences, featuring private yards, full baths and gas heat.

Believed to date back to the early 1700s, the building originally served as a stone barn along the Delaware & Raritan Canal, reflecting Trenton’s early industrial and colonial roots. Over the centuries, it evolved into a row of townhouse-style residences.
