RIDGEWOOD — More than two acres of land downtown could soon be transformed into luxury duplex apartments or assisted-living housing for seniors.
Ridgewood issued a request in September seeking proposals from developers for the 10 properties — including the former gas station site at 132 Franklin Ave. — that make up the village’s redevelopment zone.
The plan from Kensington Senior Development, based in White Plains, N.Y., calls for two structures: a 60-foot-tall residential building — with 98 assisted-living units and 5,000 square feet of retail space — and a parking garage the village would own and operate.
The garage, which will be accessible from Walnut Street, would add more than 130 much-need parking spots to Ridgewood’s downtown, said Harley Cook, one of Kensington’s founding partners.
Cook said Ridgewood could expect an additional 18,000 visitors each year to the village, should his plan gain the appropriate approvals.

60 foot tall buildings will become the new norm for the CBD. Say goodbye to seeing any sunshine on the sidewalks except during the shank of summer.
Thanks Big Al The Developers Friend for all you do. Next. Don’t forget to take care of your buddy attorney and give him the right of way so they can build the hosing in Glen Rock. Remember he campaigned hard for you and handed out a lot your fliers.
