Its wild how quickly these have gone up!

Because they're made with the lowest quality.

Look at the kitchens. Brand new building but no external exhaust over the stoves

Vermella gives them a run for their money. Their buildings are popping up like weeds. The Central Ave factory project is insanely ambitious- I can’t wait to see how they plan on pulling it off.

Hell, the traffic on Passaic Ave is already at critical levels- I’m sure adding thousands of apartments will fix things lol

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.

Wait, russo/vermella is behind the Clark Mills project in East Newark?

I've been to the website. It is complete turnoff. I hate websites that won't show you the actual development, but instead shows you random global marketing stock images. LOL

It’s because they are built like shit
