ON THE HORIZON
Life sciences and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are highly customizable and highly sought-after by potential tenants. The federal government has invested $2 billion to expand the U.S. biotech and biomanufacturing sectors across the nation, and we’re seeing activity across many of our regions, including New Jersey. In addition, the current market has created opportunities to convert existing office or retail space to labs and R&D space on a fast timeline — driven by factors like low vacancies and high rents. For developers seeking to begin this type of project, speed to market and flexibility are the most important aspects. At Bohler, we are focused on streamlining the development processes for these facilities and getting them online faster.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Bohler is proud to be part of the project team for The Crossings at Brick Church Station, now under construction in East Orange, NJ. A public-private partnership (PPP) with the City of East Orange, the $500 million redevelopment will bring a vibrant, mixed-use and transit-oriented project to the community.
Bohler’s New Jersey team is providing site civil engineering, permitting and landscape architecture services for the redevelopment. Working closely with Triangle Equities and Incline Capital, Bohler helped write the redevelopment plan for the entire city block and presented it to city and state agencies including the City of Orange, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and New Jersey Transit. The team’s design preserves the historic Brick Church train station while creating a more efficient city center. Bohler’s landscape architecture team designed the central promenade, plaza and streetscape to encourage pedestrian walkability and reduce overall vehicle traffic congestion.
To bring the massive project to life, the development team worked closely with the New Jersey state governor and city mayor to leverage several Opportunity Zone incentives like New Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, Redevelopment Area Bonds and other financing tools.
