From transit-oriented luxury rentals to state-of-the-art logistics hubs, the construction landscape across the tri-state area is seeing a massive surge this spring. March Construction, a Wayne-based construction management firm, announced five major projects currently breaking ground or entering critical new phases.
These developments, spanning from the bustling Hudson County waterfront to the rugged landscape of Warren County, represent hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and the creation of over 1,000 new residential units.
1. Riverbend Block B: Redefining Harrison’s Waterfront
The transformation of Harrison continues as Advance Realty Investors taps March Construction for the next phase of the Riverbend District. Located at 1200 South 5th Street, this mixed-use residential community is part of a 35-acre redevelopment plan that has already delivered successful projects like The Wyldes and Steel Works. Block B will add to the district’s 3,300 planned residential units, offering luxury amenities and unmatched access to the Harrison PATH station.
2. Plaza Green: A Transit Hub Transformation in Fair Lawn
In Bergen County, the long-awaited Plaza Green project is set to break ground adjacent to the Radburn NJ Transit station. Developed by Danbro Properties and Sterling Properties, this four-story, age-restricted community will feature:
