— Crow Holdings De- velopment (CHD) has announced the delivery of 25 Market St. in Elmwood Park, completing the transformation of one of northern New Jersey’s most iconic industrial proper- ties. The 207,000 s/f, class A building, located with high visibility and direct access from I-80, occupies the site of the former Marcal Paper ware- house, which was destroyed by a fire in January 2019. CHD redeveloped the 12-acre property in partnership with Atlas Holdings , which owns Marcal Paper, and worked closely with local stakeholders to create a distinctive design for the historic site. The brick façade and black window mul- lions were inspired by the for- mer, 90-year-old warehouse. Large, translucent glass accent light boxes on the building’s exterior marry the classic ele - ments with modern design and pay homage to the neon “Mar- cal” sign that long served as a local landmark. “Everyone involved under- stood the value of this prop- erty and what finding its new best-and-highest use would mean for the community,” said Clark Machemer , Crow Holdings Development’s se- nior managing director. “The fact that we have been able to bring this building online just five years after the fire is a tribute to Marcal and to the Borough of Elmwood Park, which provided tremendous support for this effort to revi- talize the area and stimulate economic growth.” “This state-of-the-art facility checks every box for meeting current demand in the north- ern New Jersey marketplace,” Armenia said. “At just over 200,000 s/f, 25 Market St. is the ideal size for a variety of end-users seeking the best features of modern warehouse design and unparalleled ac- cess to the area’s extensive regional highway network.” The single-story, energy-effi - cient building features build-to- suit office space; ceiling heights with up to 40 feet of clearance; 56 trailer stalls; 32 exterior loading docks; two drive-in doors; and a parking lot capable of accommodating 200 vehicles. The property is further distin- guished by its visibility and proximity to a confluence of ma - jor roadways, immediately off a four-way interchange of I-80
