The Promenade, going up on the site of a former Kodak processing center, will consist of two rental buildings, one with 104 units and another with 46 units, each having four stories over a ground level parking garage, Loventhal says. The apartments will be one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with large great rooms and private balconies.

“The Promenade is designed to offer a different, more urban style of living than the older garden-style apartments available in the area,” which have occupancy rates in the high 90 % range, he adds. It will have reserved garage-level parking, elevator service, security-intercom systems, and attended lobbies, catering to a growing tenant base of “renters-by-choice,” Loventhal says.

Three commercial buildings with a total of 30,000 square feet of office space and 33,000 square feet of street-level retail space are also underway. Garden Commercial plans to add solar panels and a rain garden to the project as well.

Meanwhile, the Garden companies are also at work on a proposed development of a 110-rental-unit building for the former Brogan’s auto dealership site in nearby Ridgewood, also in Bergen County.
