Hundreds of apartments slated to replace North Jersey office building

WAYNE — Another North Jersey office building is being reduced to small mountains of demolition debris and misshapen metal. A wrecking crew has begun razing the 126,520-square-foot building at 1655 Valley Road, clearing the 11-acre property to build 275 rental apartments. The housing project, which will include 42 units for low-income families, was planned for six years. The developer is Vivmark Residential, a multibillion-dollar company created through a merger between its predecessor, Equity Residential of Chicago, and AvalonBay Communities Inc. of Arlington, Virginia. Story continues below photo gallery. The combined entity is now the largest owner of apartment homes in the United States, boasting more than 185,000 units, its website says. The Planning Board approved a proposal for the development in February, when AvalonBay Communities was still in control of its design. The apartment complex will be a half-mile north of a 473-unit development constructed by AvalonBay Communities at the site of the former Valley National Bank headquarters. It is across the street from land owned by William Paterson University, where a builder wants to put up 300 units, and it is next to the intended location of a township-sponsored project of 113 units. Tax records show that the property

Developer proposes 91-unit Paterson complex amid crowding complaints

PATERSON — A developer wants to build 91 apartments on four properties on North Seventh Street, which, if completed, would be one of the largest housing projects in the 1st Ward in more than a decade. The area where Bent Avenue Real Estate Holdings wants to construct the apartments is zoned for single-family homes and apartment buildings with four units. The developer would need Paterson Zoning Board of Adjustment approval because its plans would surpass the neighborhood’s density regulations. At present, four buildings each containing four apartments stand on the site. They would be demolished under Bent Avenue’s application and replaced by a four-story building containing seven studio apartments, 43 one-bedroom units, 34 two-bedroom units and seven three-bedroom apartments. Story continues below photo gallery. A project of that size requires 158 parking spaces, but the plans provide for 148, the city’s zoning board agenda said. Councilman Michael Jackson, who represents the 1st Ward, said he doesn’t see how the proposal would benefit city residents. “All of this overbuilding is a disservice to Paterson,” Jackson said, adding that the rents being charged for new apartments in the city exceed what residents can afford to pay. Mayor Andre Sayegh’s economic development director,

New York, New York - Winston Bowen quietly watched as New York firefighters looked for survivors in the rubble of a collapsed building in Brooklyn, after a deadly tragedy that he blamed on "careless" developers leading rapid gentrification.
