It includes a 4,731-square-foot ground-floor retail component, and its residential units, which are condominiums, should average 1,173 square feet apiece. The units will come in studio to four-bedroom configurations. Amenities include a library, a lounge with outdoor terraces, a private dining room, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a landscaped roof deck, an interior communal garden, and an underground parking garage.

Ground Broken for Four-Story, 135-Unit Mixed-Use Project Madison Place at 33 Green Village Road, Madison, New Jersey

In January, Kushner Real Estate Group and Mark Built Homes acquired, for $12 million from the borough, the five-acre development site at 33 Green Village Road, in the northern New Jersey community of Madison. Last week, the developers hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for their four-story, 135-unit mixed-use complex, dubbed Madison Place, TapIntoMadison reports. Planned is a 100-unit component called Rose Hall, which will host market-rate rental apartments, and a 35-unit component named Madison Place, which will contain condominiums. Rose Hall will also feature ground-floor commercial space for retail and restaurants, as well as a 3,000-square-foot community center. The site was previously occupied by the long-vacant Green Village Road School, which has since been demolished. Marchetto Higgins Stieve and landscape architecture firm Melillo + Bauer Associates are designing. Completion is expected in 2017. The complex will be located three blocks north of NJ Transit’s Madison station.
