I used to be excited about the Harrison redevelopments until it became clear to me they're all the same. It is nothing like the renderings depicted which was a community of diverse buildings movie theaters restaurants and every street lined with retail. Instead, the buildings built adjacent to Red Bull Arena are nothing but bland reproductions of one monolith after another. Sure, the frontage facing 4th Avenue / Rogers Boulevard have a few stores, but the side streets is a bland reproduction of doors and short steps. I can't believe Harrison allowed them to completely ignore the arena staring them right in the face . You would think those developments will have all kinds of stores and Retail facing the arena . I think it's just a lost opportunity . But there's still two large vacant blocks. little interior island park that was meant to be surrounded by retail it's just surrounded by private doors and the little streets around the little island park leading to Cape May has been blocked off for 3 years now with no explanation whatsoever.
