MXD Proposed for Former Landfill

SOMERVILLE, NJ-Pulte Homes, AvalonBay and Rockefeller Group would team up to redevelop the 112-acre site.

By Eric Peterson | Updated on April 29, 2008

SOMERVILLE, NJ-The response to an RFP for redevelopment of this city’s 112-acre former landfill was minimal in terms of firm proposals, but one has emerged as the front-runner with three major real estate names attached. Pulte Homes, AvalonBay Communities and Rockefeller Group Development would team up to build nearly 1,200 residential units and 195,000 sf of commercial space in three phases.

The site bordered by Route 206 and NJ Transit’s Raritan Valley rail line has been unused since the mid-80s when the landfill was closed. A previous proposal for a shopping center development fell victim to nearly two decades of litigation.

According to information released by officials of this Somerset County seat, the Bloomfield Hills, MI-based Pulte will be the lead developer and will specifically handle the project’s condo housing. AvalonBay, which has an office in Woodbridge, NJ, will do the rental residential, and New York-based Rockefeller will handle the commercial space.
