Marriot at Port Imperial rendering
president of Roseland. “These hotels will be the signature amenity for Port Imperial and the entire waterfront, and will signal the continued growth of all sectors in this prime market.” Roseland’s Port Imperial development spans two-and-a- half miles and includes a wa- terfront walkway with parks, providing recreation to visitors and residents. It is a vital part of parent companyMack-Cali’s recently announced three- year strategic plan to focus on high-end waterfront and transit-oriented properties. Roseland has transformed the urban site into a significant residential, commercial, and transportation center that is home to an inter-modal trans- portation hub with ferry, bus, and light rail service. The hotels will be built on top of the 850-space Port Im- perial parking garage with 17,000 square feet of ground- level retail space next to the NY Waterway ferry termi- nal. Each hotel will have its own ground-level entrance and lobby, with a connection on the sixth floor to provide guests with shared access to the outdoor terrace, function space, pool, fitness center, and high-end restaurant. The two hotels are expected to create more than 100 per- manent full-time jobs in Wee- hawken and are expected to be completed by the end of 2017. “These hotels are a crown- ing achievement for the Port Imperial project and we are excited that it is moving for- ward,” said Richard Turner, mayor of Weehawken. “From permanent jobs to world-class amenities these hotels will provide lasting benefits for the people of Weehawken.” n
