Affordable Housing

A high-rise mixed-use complex is being proposed for an industrial area near the New Jersey Turnpike in the small Bergen County village of Ridgefield Park.

Three companies will soon commence the opening portion of the transformative project, which will develop 16 vacant acres into mixed-use buildings that include a 35% affordable housing component.

The vertical expansion of a century-old industrial building is underway as it is being repurposed into 68 condominiums and ground floor retail space.

HUD awarded more than $85 million to the Garden State for public housing improvements and more than $19 million will be distributed in Hudson County with Jersey City and Hoboken receiving the largest sums.

The project, referred to in county documents as the "Palmont at Florham Park," would bring 126 units to a 5.3-acre site in Florham Park.
