Paramus NJ, North Jersey’s development landscape shows no signs of slowing down. From multifamily housing to sprawling warehouses, the region is transforming rapidly to adapt to economic shifts like the rise of remote work and the explosion of on-demand delivery services. While some developments breathe new life into blighted areas, others replace beloved landmarks, altering the character of local communities.

Here’s a closer look at key projects shaping North Jersey’s future as we head into 2025.

Hackensack: Downtown Renaissance

Hackensack’s downtown continues its transformation with multiple projects slated for 2025:

  • Green Street Development: A 210-unit complex on the site of the former city recycling center.
  • Print House Phase Two: Construction progresses on this mixed-use development at the former Record newspaper site, including a 20,000-square-foot Lidl supermarket set to open next year.
  • 359 Main Street: A 110-unit residential building is on the docket.
  • Affordable Housing Initiatives: Two projects on Essex Street and Railroad Place aim to bring affordable units to the area.

Pompton Lakes: Affordable Housing for Seniors and Veterans

A $20 million affordable housing project at 519 Ringwood Ave. will cater to seniors and veterans in low- to moderate-income households. The four-story building will feature 65 one-bedroom units and on-site amenities, with management overseen by Christian Health Center in Wyckoff.

Wayne: Former Valley National Bank Site

AvalonBay Communities Inc. is wrapping up a 473-unit housing development, including 71 low-income units, on the site of the former Valley National Bank headquarters. The project represents the first of several housing settlements reached in recent years and is set for completion by summer 2025.

Paramus: Garden State Plaza Redevelopment

One of the region’s most ambitious projects, the transformation of Paramus’ Garden State Plaza begins with a groundbreaking in early 2025.

  • Phase One: Two five-story buildings with 575 housing units and 50,000 square feet of retail space will replace part of the western parking lot.
  • Future Plans: The multiphase redevelopment could eventually add 1,400 apartments, a 1-acre town green for markets and events, and establish a new “downtown” for Paramus.

Warehouse Growth Across North Jersey

Fueled by the e-commerce boom, warehouse construction is on the rise:

  • Mount Olive: A 585,000-square-foot distribution center replaces the former BASF office complex, alongside a new 200,000-square-foot facility.
  • Parsippany: Three new warehouses, including one on the site of a vacant office building, move forward despite local pushback.
  • Fair Lawn: The old Nabisco factory site will soon host a large warehouse.
  • Sparta: Controversial hearings continue for a proposed warehouse development.

2025: A Year of Change

As North Jersey evolves to meet economic and population demands, development will likely continue at a rapid pace, reshaping communities and redefining their landscapes.

Stay tuned for updates as these projects progress and new initiatives emerge across the region.

  1. There are no economic and population demands. Food ordering from home and remote work are not reasons to destroy suburbs. Most people are back in the office. There are politicians that are pushing policies aiming to change and transform life in suburban america according to their sick “vision”. At the moment they are at stage “If we build it they will come”. Developers are just their partners in this shameful destructive plan. As long as people do not revolt there is nothin that can slow or stop anything that they wanna do. It’s hopeless.

    1. We destroy the suburbs because we hate you. Because you know what comes out of communities? Solidarity. We can’t have that.
