About this property

The First National State Bank Building, also known as the Indigo Residence, is located at 810 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey, United States. The building was designed by Cass Gilbert and was built in 1912. The building stands 165 ft (50 m) and is twelve stories tall with a steel frame and with a facade of applied masonry. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 10, 1977. Although the ground floor was occupied by a series of retail establishments, the upper floors were abandoned for many years. The building was renovated and converted into a Hotel Indigo by Hanini Developers and opened in August 2014. In 2021, the hotel and building were sold to Baldwin Equities, who subsequently converted it into a luxury apartment complex named Indigo Residence. The apartments offers a choice between studio and loft layouts. The rent structure is all-inclusive, covering high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, cooling, and heating in a single monthly charge. Each apartment is fully furnished with space-maximizing Italian furniture, features Calacata gold countertops, and includes spacious, spa-inspired bathrooms.
