Residential State Current state of the building or project (ex. demolished, unbuilt). demolished Condition History In the early 1990's, the Walsh Homes were deteriorating and were 60% vacant. The Newark Housing Authority (NHA) received an award in 1993 from the HOPE VI program, a program created by Congress in 1992 to address problems of severely distressed public housing. The award was originally intended for a revitalization project of the Walsh Homes, but a revised plan in 1995 called for the demolition and reconstruction of the Homes. The new development was designed to be half the size of the original residences and built as townhouses rather than high-rises. The property is currently being developed by the NHA to house The Waterfront, a sports, arts, and entertainment complex, designed by Comito & Associates. The groundbreaking for this project took place in October, 2010. Bibliography <p>Buron, Laura, et al.
