Utilizing its public-private partnership expertise, Devco achieved multiple development goals in constructing the first privately developed courthouse in the State of New Jersey. Building upon the redevelopment success of Civic Square I and Civic Square II, Devco partnered again with Keating Development Company to build the new Family Courthouse. The opening of the Courthouse signaled the completion of a true government district for the City of New Brunswick. Resources were leveraged to amplify the overall economic impact of this redevelopment project and to ensure that a number of development goals were met. In addition to the state-of-the-art courthouse, the mixed-use facility includes street level retail space to service the immediate neighborhood, visitors, attorneys, and staff at the new courthouse, as well as office space to house the New Brunswick campus of Middlesex County College.
