Mixed-Use Waterfront Development Includes 100,000-Square-Foot Retail Component
EDGEWATER, N.J., June 10, 2014 – Marking a major milestone for Levin Management on New Jersey's Gold Coast, the 100,000-square-foot retail component of Edgewater Harbor, a premier mixed-use waterfront redevelopment on River Road in Edgewater, N.J., is now fully leased and open for business. Levin serves as exclusive retail marketing and leasing agent for the property.
A project of National RE/sources, Edgewater Harbor sits on the 21-acre former Unilever R&D campus, providing Hudson River views and a coveted Gold Coast address. The property's retail component is comprised of ground-level retail space along the project's Main Street, as well as free-standing pads. Phase I of the lifestyle community also includes 495 high-end loft and apartment residences, a 1,900-foot river walk along the Hudson and the borough's new municipal building. Phase II of the project is now under way and includes up to 7,500 square feet of restaurant space, two pad sites and a hotel.
Edgewater Harbor quickly has transformed the Hudson River shoreline into one of the area's leading shopping and dining destinations, according to Jake Frantzman, Levin's senior leasing representative. "From a tenant's perspective, Edgewater Harbor's demographics, aesthetics, visibility and access combined to create a perfect leasing scenario," he said. "Ultimately, we were able to attract a diverse tenant mix that supports the mixed-use community while establishing a retail environment where consumers from throughout the region will want to shop."
A Premier Gold Coast Destination
Edgewater Harbor's retail component serves a population of more than 2.1 million people within a five-mile radius. Some 896,000 households within that same radius boast an average income exceeding $107,000. The daily traffic count exceeds 43,000 vehicles. The property's location, equidistant from the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel, makes it easily accessible to shoppers from both New Jersey and Manhattan.
Anchored by a 24,000-square-foot HomeGoods, Levin's leasing transactions to date at Edgewater Harbor include CVS/pharmacy, Haven Riverfront Restaurant & Bar, Moe's Southwest Grill, Beach Bum Tanning, Great Clips, Floris Nails & Spa, European Wax Center, Sotheby's Real Estate, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Pampered Pregnancy Boutique, Edgewater Eyecare, Dunkin Donuts and Touch of Elegance.
