the Forgione Family. JMF supports several or- ganizations, programs, and charities that improve the lives of New Jersey residents from all walks of life, including vulnerable populations. In 2020, JMF constructed and donated a group home for Cerebral Palsy of North Jersey, now Pillar Care Continuum, an organization that provides a wide range of services to in- fants, children and adults with more than 100 different disabil- ities and diagnoses. JMF also constructed and donated five homes for Arc/Morris County chapter, an organization that
provides a community-based system of homes and apart- ments to support the individual housing needs of people with intellectual disabilities. “The essence of our corporate mission at JMF has always been to revitalize and improve the communities we work in,” Forgione said. “We are grateful for all of the opportunities we have to do so, not only through our work as a home builder and commercial developer, but also as a partner to the many community-based organiza- tions, charities and schools who work to make our state a better place.” MAREJ
new properties that will help shape the northern New Jer- sey market in 2023, but it is a focus on charity and improving communities that plays an increasingly defining role for the company. JMF will open, expand, or enter the final stages of construction at multiple resi- dential and retail properties in 2023. In Morris County alone, JMF and its partner entities are developing three retail properties: Morris Market- place in Morris Twp., Hanover Town Center in Hanover Twp., and Cedar Village in Hanover Twp. On the residential side, JMF recently opened The American, a collection of 125 luxury rental residences just a short walk from downtown Morris Plains and the Morris Plains train station. Addi- tional Morris County luxury communities such as Clarus Morristown and Randolph Lib- erty Village will break ground later this year. Across the state, JMF has multiple projects in various stages of development and construction. Among them are Clarus Berkeley Heights, an upscale rental community slated to open in 2024, and Harbor View Marketplace in Bayonne, where an LA Fit- ness will open in April, joining a waterfront retail mix that includes Costco, Starbucks, Lidl, and CVS. Clarus Berke- ley Heights will be the third community to open as part of JMF’s upscale “Clarus” brand of rental residences, following in the footsteps of ultra-successful communities Clarus Maplewood and Clarus Glen Ridge. JMF’s emphasis on char- ity, improving neighborhoods, and support for community programming – always a core part of the company mission – is shining brighter than ever in 2023. In December, JMF helped open the brand-new Franklin Lakes campus of REED Acad- emy, a 24,000 s/f school build- ing that allows the organization to better serve New Jersey’s autism community. JMF acted as general contractor and sup- ported the project financially, through the work of its founder and principal, Joe Forgione , a founding board member of REED Autism Services.
JMF’s newest residential community, The American, recently opened for leasing in Morris Plains.
In September, Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey opened the Forgione Family Engineering Center, a
state-of-the-art math, science and robotics facility made pos- sible through the support of benefactors such as JMF and
