SAYERVILLE, NJ—Real estate development and construction veteran Mark Fetah has joined North American Properties as senior vice president of development for its massive Riverton master planned projects here.
Fetah joins Riverton after having overseen the development, design, project management and capital expenditure operations for two national real estate investment funds, including as SVP of Hudson Advisors, a division of Lone Star Funds.
Fetah has successfully delivered more than 40 million square feet of commercial, residential, hospitality, retail, resort and mixed-use projects throughout the United States and abroad. In his new role with NAP, he will be responsible for design, engineering, permitting, approvals, construction and management of the multi-phased Riverton program, a $2.5-billion, 5 million-square-foot mixed-use development on 400 acres on the Raritan River in Sayreville.
He has significant experience with mega-developments. He has held executive roles on such mega-project ventures such as: Epcot Center (Orlando), Euro Disneyland (Paris), Canary Wharf (London), 7 World Trade Center (New York), Princeton Forrestal Village (Princeton, NJ), Staten Island Ferry Terminal Renovation (New York), and Hudson River Park Trust (New York).
“Mark Fetah has worked on some of the world's most recognizable real estate projects, and he will play a tremendous role in the growth and direction of Riverton as an innovative, retail-driven development,” says Mark Toro, managing partner at NAP-Atlanta. “We are thrilled to add his extensive background in real estate development, construction, and finance to the Riverton team and help us make Riverton a fun and exciting place for people to live, work, shop, dine and play.”
Fetah will work in tandem with Kevin Polston, who has served as project executive for Riverton for the past 18 months.
Riverton at full build-out will offer a blend of retail, residential, office and hotel connected by an abundance of community amenities and gathering spaces. Planning, design, leasing and procurement all are presently underway. North American Properties states that it expects to break ground on the project this year.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, with offices in Atlanta, Dallas and Fort Myers, FL, North American Properties has developed 22 million square feet of commercial space and 19,000 residential units in 15 states and 67 cities.
In the past three years, North American Properties has launched 36 projects totaling $2.2 billion in total capitalization. In metro Atlanta, North American Properties led the impressive turnaround of Atlantic Station and the successful ground-up development of Avalon. Currently, NAP is redeveloping the reimagined Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta, and executing a ground up development of a mixed-use destination in Gwinnett County, GA.
