Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Mill Creek Partner on Mall Redevelopment

Mill Creek Residential will partner with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield for the redevelopment of Westfield Garden State Plaza in Bergen County, NJ.

Slated to break ground in 2024 and open to residents in 2026, the first phase will include the construction of 550 luxury apartment homes that will be integrated with the shopping center via a one-acre ‘town green’ for residents, visitors, and shoppers to enjoy, as well as introduce a ‘main street’ outdoor district featuring restaurants and everyday conveniences and services.

The development will also include community and sustainability features such as new parks and greenspaces, green building construction, upgraded connectivity to public transportation networks, electric vehicle charging stations, and the restoration of a section of the local Sprout Brook.

Garden State Plaza will include surface parking areas to the west of the shopping center converted into modern luxury apartment homes, plazas, parks, gardens, health and wellness amenities, commercial office space, as well as a transit center – alongside new outdoor shops, restaurants, and community event spaces.

Garden State Plaza is a 2.1-million-square-foot flagship destination anchored by Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and AMC Theatres. It includes a mix of retail, dining, and entertainment with the additions of Eddie V’s, Season’s 52, Pinstripes, Nerf Action Xperience, and others.
