382-unit multifamily property an anchor for Main Street Redevelopment District Alkova’s Poskanzer Skott-designed high-rise takes shape in Hackensack, NJ
H
ACKENSACK, NJ — Construction has be- gun on Alkova Com-
standpoint, this type of semi- urban context – which calls for a strategic blend of traditional, walkable-city amenities and suburban conveniences – pro- vides us with an opportunity to be particularly creative.” Located on a repurposed 1.35-acre parcel that formerly housed seven buildings and a parking lot, the property will include a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom residences, with amenities including a pool and rooftop garden, below- grade parking and 7,500 square feet of street-level retail space. Poskanzer noted that Hack-
ensack’s Main Street-anchored transformation, still in its in- fancy, stems from 2012 zoning changes intended to encourage redevelopment of high-rise resi- dential in a transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly neighbor- hood. “The city has great po- tential, and Alkova is at the forefront of this revitalization.” The 150-170 Main St.project represents the first Poskanzer Skott partnership with the Edison, N.J.-based develop- ment group. “We are thrilled to be working with Alkova’s principals to turn their vision into reality, and to being part of
their success,” Poskanzer said. Poskanzer Skott has deep roots in the New Jersey multi- family market, having designed thousands of units in projects ranging fromurban luxury tow- ers to mid-rise neighborhood developments. The established, award-winning firm has broad experience in the entire design and planning process from concept to completion. In addi- tion to residential real estate, Poskanzer Skott’s work on be- half of public, private and non- profit clients spans the office, industrial, retail, education and health care sectors. n
