Harrison, NJ Mayor James A. Fife led a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, March 3, to celebrate the opening of a new phase of 381 innovatively-designed apartments and lively social spaces at Harrison Urby near the town’s PATH Station.
With a cut of the ribbon, Mayor Fife and development principals unveiled the newest addition to Harrison’s flourishing residential market led by the forward-thinking Urby brand. Following a successful grand opening in 2017, Harrison Urby now offers 1,060 apartments spread throughout multiple buildings, with the newest collection residing at 200 Angelo Cifelli Drive.
“On behalf of council, I am proud to welcome this new building at Harrison Urby to the community,” Mayor Fife said. “Urby, Ironstate Development, Pegasus Group, and Brookfield Properties have been prolific developers in Harrison and a major catalyst for the redevelopment of the waterfront. Their investment has delivered PILOT revenue, brought in new residents, and contributed to the renaissance of our town, which began in the 1990s.”
“We’re excited to expand this transformative residential concept in Harrison at a time when demand for smartly-designed apartments and vibrant social spaces in urban locations near mass transit is on the rise,” said David Barry, Founder and CEO of Urby. “This new building introduces the next level of the Urby experience.”
