RVINGTON, NJ —May- or Tony Vauss joined state and county officials, as well as The NRP Group , a vertically integrated, best- in-class developer, builder and manager of multifamily housing, to break ground on a 56-unit affordable apartment community in Irvington. Located at 722 Chancellor Avenue, the five-story mid- rise building will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom residential units with park- ing. The apartments will be reserved for residents earn - ing 60% or less than the area median income. Five of the 56 units will be set aside for residents with special needs, who will receive supportive services from the YMCA of Greater Newark. The Urban League of Essex County will also provide social services to all residents of the com - munity. The NRP Group is develop- ing the community in partner- ship with Adenah Bayoh , a local developer and entre- preneur who has been spear- heading the redevelopment of Irvington General Hospital on Chancellor Avenue. Bayoh manages an extensive real estate portfolio, consisting of multiple multifamily homes and apartment buildings throughout Irvington, New- ark and northern New Jersey. “With NRP’s mission to provide exceptional housing for people regardless of in - come, we’re looking forward to helping fulfill the signifi - cant demand for affordable options within the Irvington community,” said J. David Heller , principal, president and chief executive officer at The NRP Group. “By working in tandem with the Township and Adenah, this project will encourage the growth of, and investment in Irvington, while also enabling working families to continue contributing to its strong sense of community and sharing in the fruit of its resurgent economic prosper- ity.” “722 Chancellor Avenue will create ripples far beyond the building’s physical footprint,” said Jonathan Gertman , vice president of Development at The NRP Group. “We’re thrilled to be working closely with the Township of Irving - ton and thankful that The NRP Group was selected to be Adenah’s development part-
