Nestled along Creek View Road in Newark, Delaware, the Creek View Complex represents a transformative development project that revitalizes a significant historical site. Originally a 233-acre tract purchased by Samuel Johnson in 1715, the area has deep roots in Newark’s industrial history. Johnson and his son established grist and saw mills on the land, harnessing the power of the nearby White Clay Creek. Over time, the mills ceased operation, and the land’s purpose shifted to meet changing economic needs.
Now, the Lang Development Group is leading the charge to bring new life to this historic area. The Creek View Complex integrates a mix of residential, professional, commercial, culinary, and entertainment spaces, creating a vibrant hub for the Newark community.
Blending Tradition with Modern Amenities
The Creek View Complex embraces Newark’s heritage while offering a contemporary twist. The development features several existing structures that have been restored, along with new builds designed to meet modern needs.
One notable restoration is 100 Dean Drive, a beautifully renovated stone barn that now serves as Lang Development’s headquarters. Similarly, the building at 100 Creek View Drive has been transformed into Timothy’s of Newark, an American-style restaurant and bar that retains its historic charm.
Included in the complex is 300 Creek View, an existing professional office building home to various businesses. This building is just the beginning of the complex’s dedication to fostering a dynamic professional environment. Nearby, Applied Control Engineering occupies 700 Creek View and 800 Creek View is a brand-new professional building offering 31,000 square feet of office space, meticulously designed for a diverse range of businesses.
Residential Excellence and Community Spaces
The Creek View Complex is also redefining residential living in Newark. The stone and brick building at 500 Creek View is undergoing a remarkable transformation into a luxury apartment building, offering one- and two-bedroom units. Residents will enjoy high-level amenities such as a fitness center, community room, coffee bar, rooftop patio, outdoor deck, and sports court.
The complex includes other residential options, too. The Mill at White Clay Creek, Mill Townhouses, and the Mill Lofts are popular among young professionals and University of Delaware students, providing modern living spaces with easy access to amenities.
Entertainment, Dining, and Scenic Beauty
The development goes beyond business and residential needs, offering a rich array of entertainment and dining experiences. The new theater at the complex will soon become the home of Chapel Street Players, providing them with a fresh venue and the convenience of on-site parking—both welcome improvements over their current location.
At 600 Creek View, a new restaurant is being built, with a 4,800-square-foot space available for lease. It includes an outdoor dining patio with picturesque views of White Clay Creek, promising an appealing dining experience for locals and visitors alike.
A Strategic Location and Natural Appeal
The Creek View Complex’s location is ideal for those who enjoy both city life and nature. The complex abuts White Clay Creek, a well-known spot for fishing and outdoor recreation. Several properties within the complex have patios overlooking the water, creating a serene atmosphere for residents, professionals and visitors.
The complex is just a half-mile from the restaurants, shops, and entertainment options on Newark’s Main Street, offering easy access to the city’s vibrant social scene.
A Bright Future for Newark
The Creek View Complex by Lang Development Group exemplifies a thoughtful approach to revitalizing historical sites while meeting the needs of a modern community. By combining residential, professional, commercial, culinary, and entertainment spaces, this development creates a lively, integrated environment that will continue to serve Newark for years to come. With its strategic location and diverse offerings, the Creek View Complex is poised to become a cornerstone of Newark’s ongoing transformation.
