A Virginia-based development team is eyeing a portion of Ridgewood’s North Walnut Street parking lot as the future site of an assisted living housing facility.
The developers, who all have prior experience managing other assisted living homes, will pitch their concept for The Kensington of Ridgewood at Wednesday night’s Village Council work session.
Mayor Paul Aronsohn did not know full details of the plan, but he confirmed Wednesday morning that the proposal involves the parking lot at the corner of Franklin Avenue and Walnut Street as well as a portion of the municipal lot facing the rear of the PNC Bank building. In addition to the assisted living facility, the idea also includes the construction of a parking garage at the site.

Right…because 7-11 Ridge Rd. isn’t enough!!
This would have been perfect up at the Horse Farm.
FYI #1 7-11 Ridge is not an assisted living facility.
Who put downtown Ridgewood in the multiple listings?
This on top of the other 4 proposed developments?! Someone has lost their mind!
Has anyone noticed that right after DEPUTY MAYOR ALBERT PUCCIARELL was elected these project started to intensify along with his idea of relocating the municipal garage in Glen Rock and sell off land that the garage now stands.Let not forget the two purposed parking garage and the Arts center that Mayor Paul Aronsohn promised to get elected. So between Mayor Paul Aronsohn aka ( The Carpetbagger) DEPUTY MAYOR ALBERT PUCCIARELL aka ( The Developer’s Friend) and Councilwoman Hauk ( Clueless in Ridgewood) have it all laid out so get use to it.
The proposed structure would be 6 stories tall.
According to the developer’s representative, 44 parking spaces would be required to support the facility (86 rooms, the number of full time and/or part time employees was not revealed). Net gain in parking could be 60 or could be less depending upon the number of employees at the facility.
A 6 story building would cast quite a shadow in that neighborhood, and also set somewhat of a precedent for those wishing to enlarge or build new structures in the CBD.
