From brownfield to bright future.
This underutilized brownfield site is to be turned into a 117-unit residential project with townhouses, one- and two-bedroom apartments above a covered parking area. Blighted buildings are removed, and the site is remediated, creating an anchor project within the larger redevelopment of the Route 35 gateway into the city. Serving as the redevelopment planner for the Perth Amboy Redevelopment Agency, Topology was able to ensure a quality design for this residential project and creating additional benefits for future residents and the neighboring community alike. Most importantly, a community playground and open space are part of the project; an asset for a neighborhood currently underserved with open space amenities.
