ShopRite Breaks Ground for 69,000-SF Supermarket

LODI, NJ-Located in this city's downtown area, the new store is expected to be a catalyst for a larger redevelopment effort by city officials.

LODI, NJ-Ground has been broken for a new 69,000-sf ShopRite supermarket on this city’s Main Street in a project that local officials hope will be the catalyst of a larger downtown revitalization effort. The store is expected to open in late 2004, according to Doug Kanter, a principal of the Jersey City-based Crown Properties LLC, the project’s developer.

The new store is also a brownfield redevelopment of an old factory site and local officials are actively tying it to the so-called “smart growth” initiatives advanced by the administration of Gov. James McGreevey. “The new store will serve as an example of how responsible redevelopment can turn an economically stagnant space into a beneficial economic engine for the community,” Kanter says.

“We are also excited to begin construction on what we believe will serve as an important piece of the Main St. redevelopment puzzle,” Kanter continues. His firm is a privately-owned management company whose principals develop residential, commercial and office projects around the Garden State.
