NEW BRUNSWICK -- New Jersey's Hub City will soon be home to a $190 million, world-class theater facility, according to a report.
The New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, which has been reportedly in the works for years, will include two theaters, three rehearsal stages and 240 apartments in a 22-story building across the street from the Heldrich Hotel, NJBiz reports.
Apartments will start at $2,200 per month.
With construction set to break ground in August, the report says the new space will house four companies: George Street Playhouse, Crossroads Theatre, American Repertory Ballet and Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers.
The public-private project is expected to open in 2019, according to NJBiz.
