The Hackensack Planning Board could soon approve a project that would bring dozens of additional residential units to Bergen County’s largest city.
Documents released by Hackensack’s municipal government show that a six-story building with 67 units is in the works for properties such as 85 and 99 State Street. The parcels in question include the old and presently undeveloped Salvation Army site along with two adjacent structures.
If approved, the development by Cornerstone Capital Investment Hackensack, LLC would include 47 units with one bedroom each and 20 units with two bedrooms each, according to a notice of hearing. The notice says that the plans are scheduled to go before the board during a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, February 10, at 7:00 p.m.
The proposal calls for 112 parking spaces and six tandem parking spaces, according to a memo from Neglia Engineering Associates that was modified on February 2. Plans from Virgona & Virgona Architects that were published by the City of Hackensack show that the building could also include a fitness center, common space, and patio.
Located at the corner of Myer Street, the properties are situated a half-mile walk away from the Essex Street commuter rail station on New Jersey Transit’s Pascack Valley Line and are a block west of Main Street. NJT’s 76, 165, 712, 772, and 780 buses to Downtown Newark, Manhattan, the Willowbrook Mall, American Dream Meadowlands, and Passaic stop directly in front of the site.
Hackensack has seen a surge in development proposals of this sort in recent years, resulting in new buildings like Meridia Metro Apartments, The Current on River, and Crossroads 389 being constructed in the Bergen County seat.
Note to readers: The dates that applications are scheduled to be heard by the Hackensack Planning Board and other commissions are subject to change.
