And so it starts: another luxury apartment complex has started construction in Harrison. This time, it's across the street from the last luxury apartment complex built on Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard by the PATH train. Heller Urban Renewal of Heller Industrial Parks has begun the tearing down of the Hartz Mountain Industrial Site that currently sits in downtown Harrison. The 10.5 acre site will become home to a mixed-used, transit-oriented redevelopment project. It will consist of 747 luxury rental units, 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and offer sheltered access to the PATH. The project was met with unanimous approval by the Harrison Redevelopment Agency. Heller expects to have finished the initial phase of engineering by the spring and to start the first phase of construction next year.
