PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
T&M is providing civil and landscape architectural design services for a 2.2-acre brownfield urban redevelopment project within the South-Central Neighborhood Revitalization Plan-Town Center 1 Zone in the Borough of Roselle, Union County, New Jersey. The Edison will offer much-needed residential apartments in the area, featuring an elegantly designed six-story, 195-unit mixed-use residential building. The ground floor will include 3,000 square feet of retail space. The building will also offer amenities such as a gym, pet spa and rooftop terraces. Additionally, 195 surface parking stalls will be provided via a parking garage on the ground floor and part of the first floor. Landscaping and lighting enhancements will be implemented around the building perimeter and along St. Georges Avenue (Route 27) with the street being widened along the project frontage to provide additional off-street parking and a drop-off area.
The design and engineering of the project was met with significant challenges from both a physical and regulatory perspective. Notable constraints included flood hazard area considerations imposed by Jouet Brook, which runs along the property’s northern boundary; relocation and/or removal of existing utilities as a result of the proposed roadway right-of-way vacations, including overhead PSE&G transmission lines, gas, water and sewer main relocation; as well as adhering to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s strict stormwater management design and regulatory requirements. The project team navigated a slew of permitting and approval requirements including borough planning board approval, Union County Planning Board approval, NJDEP Flood Hazard Area individual permit and verification, NJDEP Treatment Works approval, New Jersey Department of Transportation major access and utility connection, New Jersey American Water approval, Somerset-Union Soil Conservation District certification and coordination with NJ Transit. Through a collaborative effort with the project architect, we were able to develop a site design and building strategy that achieved the required maximum floor area and density, pedestrian and vehicular circulation and open space.
ON THE HORIZON
We see continued growth in mixed-use multifamily residential, logistics/distribution centers, health care/life sciences, infrastructure and school construction. There are also tremendous growth opportunities in the senior/assisted living facilities, quick-service restaurants, cannabis cultivation and affordable housing, especially brownfield redevelopment sites in markets with access to mass transportation. Recent NJDEP regulation changes to stormwater management and flood hazard area regulations require a holistic approach to site design, and our comprehensive suite of in-house design services make us well suited to handle the site development challenges and is paving the way for future growth.
ONE MORE THING
Our diverse team of professionals work collaboratively, integrating different design disciplines to develop custom, cost-effective design solutions. We help clients navigate the development challenges imposed by site environmental constraints, zoning regulations, stormwater management, flood hazard and other regulatory requirements.
