[IMGCAP(1)]LINDEN, NJ-The former General Motors assembly plant site being redeveloped here has a new manager. Bob Grossi has been promoted to vice president of development and leasing for the East region with Duke Realty Corp., with primary responsibility for overseeing the redevelopment of the GM property.

As previously reported by GlobeSt.com, Indianapolis-based Duke and its joint venture partner, San Francisco-based Stockbridge Real Estate Fund, bought the property in 2007, reportedly for just north of $75 million. Duke plans to dismantle the plant and remediate the 100-acre brownfield site before building a mixed-use industrial and retail property. Demolition of the plant began in February of this year and will continue throughout 2008. Hull & Associates, an engineering firm based in Columbus, Ohio, will oversee the remediation. Duke hopes to break ground on the new construction in spring 2009.

[IMGCAP(2)]This is the second GM plant Duke has taken on. The company previously redeveloped a former plant in Baltimore, near the city’s port. Two industrial buildings on the 184-acre site have already been built.
