Sterling JV Lands $67M for New Jersey Senior Community

Sterling Properties and Danbro Properties have secured a $66.9 million loan for the development of Plaza Greene, a 145-unit, age-restricted and transit-oriented project in Fair Lawn, N.J. PCCP provided the note.

The community is already underway at 22-01 Fair Lawn Ave. The site used to house Dealz/RailYard, a dilapidated L-shape mall that was demolished in May, TAPinto reported. The Borough Council had designated the lot in need of redevelopment in 2020.

Plaza Greene will be adjacent to the Radburn NJ Transit train station, for which the team secured a public-access easement from NJ Transit, according to Yahoo! News. The property also has easy access to multiple routes and interstate routes, including Route 208, Route 4, Route 17 and Interstate 80. Downtown Manhattan is less than 20 miles away.
