N ORTHERN N EW J ERSEY Red Robin and Buffalo Wild Wings to open this year in advance of Super Bowl Hartz Mountain continues reinvention of Harmon Meadow with two new restaurants
ECAUCUS , NJ — Hartz Mountain In- dustries continues the reinvention of its Harmon Meadow mixed-used devel- opment that began over 10 years ago, the most recent was the demolition of the 450 Harmon Meadow Blvd.office building situated on 5.3 acres to make room for a 6,000 s/f Red Robin scheduled to open on November 18, 2013, a 7,000 s/f Buffalo Wild Wings, set to open in December 2013, and a hotel is planned for the site and is expected to open within the next 18 months. Harmon Meadow’s trans- formation began with the opening of Wal-Mart & Sam’s Club, and continued when Hartz redeveloped the Mall at Mill Creek, repositioning the mall and surrounding area by signing leases with Toys R Us, Babies R Us, TJ Maxx, SportsAuthority, Kohl’s, Bob’s Discount Furniture, Mar- shalls, HomeGoods, ACMoore, PetSmart with a PetsHotel and LA Fitness. It continued to evolve to its current shop- ping dining and entertainment destination with the addition of restaurants such as Carra- bba’s Italian Grill, Starbucks, Chili’s, Cosi’s, and Cups, and a Kerasotes Theatres. “450 Harmon Meadow Blvd. was outdated as an office build- ing, needing costly upgrades in a market that was calling for more travel and tourism options than office space,” said Gus Milano , managing director for Hartz Mountain Industries. “Even before you factor in the 150,000 addi- tional visitors expected this February for the Super Bowl, we already see close to four million visitors in Harmon Meadow a year. Red Robin and Buffalo Wild Wings add to a winning combination of dining, shopping and play that will encourage people to come back again and again.” “We are thrilled with the economic development that Hartz Mountain continues to initiate in Secaucus,” said Michael Gonnelli, Mayor for Secaucus. “We welcome Red Robin and Buffalo Wild Wings to the neighborhood and know they will be successful here.” Headquartered in Secaucus, Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc. owns and manages one of the largest privately held com- mercial real estate portfolios in the United States, comprised S
of approximately 200 proper- ties and totaling more than 38 million s/f in the northern New Jersey/NewYork area. In 2010, Hartz acquired a four- property apartment portfolio which has since grown to close to 3,000 units. Hartz employs a comprehensive approach to real estate for leasing, man- agement, finance, acquisition, architecture, construction, development, planning, and marketing, design and prop- erty management that allows the company to remain at the forefront of commercial, industrial, retail and hotel
development. In the past few years, Hartz has led the “green” way through a comprehensive program to reduce waste and energy use, while increasing clean energy production via investments in solar energy. Hartz has been recognized by Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) and the Vote Solar Initiative as top 20 commercial solar power users in the U.S.; and New Jersey Business and Industry As- sociation (NJBIA) gave Hartz the “Environmental Quality Award”. ■
