Prism Capital Partners has launched Dunellen Station, the redevelopment of the former Art Color industrial facility into a mixed-use, transit-oriented community. The Bloomfield, N.J.-based adaptive reuse specialist this fall commenced demolition of an obsolete, 400,000-square-foot industrial facility on the site at 100 South Washington Avenue; construction is slated to begin in the summer of 2019.
Prism will construct 194 one- and two-bedroom market-rate apartments and 58 units reserved for low- and moderate-income residents, as well as 10,000 square feet of retail. Dunellen Station also will include 130 for-sale townhouses, which will be developed by a national homebuilder.
“This well-situated property is just steps away from Dunellen’s vibrant, walkable downtown business district and directly across from the train station,” noted Prism’s Robert Fourniadis, senior vice president, residential. “We have created a diverse range of housing options in order to serve numerous segments of the market, and the new retail components will support residents of Dunellen Station as well as the whole community.”
Dunellen Station residents will enjoy a full amenities package including a clubhouse, meeting rooms, fitness center, outdoor pool with patio and entertainment area. Dunellen Station’s design, by City Invincible, reflects the character of the former Art Color building, with the retail component and clubhouse complementing the neighborhood with a transit theme.
