HARRISON, NJ—One of New Jersey's former urban industrial wastelands continues a remarkable transformation, as The Hampshire Companies and its joint venture partner, CrownPoint Group, and project investment advisor, Circle Squared Alternative Investments, marked the completion of 221 Bergen, a 104-unit luxury residential complex on Bergen Street in Harrison, NJ.

Harrison Mayor James A. Fife joined executives from the developers, project investors, and other officials to celebrate the opening last week.

“This project has, since the beginning, been driven by the passion for the continued renaissance by Harrison's Mayors,” says Jon F. Hanson, founder and chairman of The Hampshire Companies. “First, by Mayor Ray McDonough, who tragically passed away during the approval process and subsequently by Mayor Fife, who continued to lead with a passion which has been reverberated through our own halls and those of CrownPoint. For Hampshire, the completion of this project is a testament to our dedication to work with local officials and communities in order to create something that is more than just a building, but an opportunity to take part in the revitalization of a growing, thriving community. 221 Bergen embodies that sense of community.”
