Fort Lee, New Jersey

CENTURIA, a mixed use neighborhood located on a 15.7 acre site immediately adjacent to the George Washington Bridge, is being hailed by the local merchants as a "boon" to the town of Fort Lee, New Jersey. The complex will serve as the new retail anchor revitalizing one of the last of the Gold Coast undeveloped properties, the Helmsley Tract, which has been neglected for over thirty years.

This pedestrian friendly "walkable" community integrates live/work/play in a 24/7 lifestyle. Direct vehicular access to Manhattan via the GW Bridge and other local public transportation enhance the appeal of this new "Downtown".

The community is bisected by Martha Washington Way which provides direct access to the bridge tolls. The West side of the community will consist of over 115,000 square feet of retail/restaurant use, an eight story office of 200,000 square feet, a nineteen story 250 room luxury hotel with associated conference facilities, PLUS 68 luxury condominiums, and an inter-connected eight story structured parking garage. A renovated theatre at the southwest corner of the site pays homage to the birthplace of the movie industry.

The East side will house over six hundred dwellings in a fourteen story view-oriented luxury condominium plus multiple five story residential buildings wrapped around a structured parking garage which provides two parking spaces per residence plus public parking.

A spectacular multilevel club of 10,000 square feet houses community amenities focused on a four story waterfall.
