New Brunswick, New Jersey, located in the central part of the state, is home to the main campus of Rutgers University and Johnson and Johnson, which built a new headquarters in 1983.^[1][2] Both work with Devco in a public–private partnership to redevelop downtown, particularly with transit-oriented development.^{[3][4][5][6][7]} While there no buildings over 100 meters (330 feet) in the city, since the millennium a number of high-rise residential buildings clustered around New Brunswick Station have joined those built in the 1960s on the city's skyline.^{[8][9][10][11][12]} A new complex, The Hub, planned to break ground in 2016, will become the city's tallest buildings upon completion.^[13]
