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.

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.
