Morristown appoints SJP Properties as conditional redeveloper of North Park properties

Morristown, NJ Mayor Timothy Dougherty and the town council awarded the conditional designation of SJP Properties as the redeveloper of 1 North Park Pl., 17-21 North Park Pl., 11-23 Washington St. and 2-10 Washington St.

The proposed redevelopment would transform a collection of long-vacant properties, including the former Century 21 building, into a new mixed-use development featuring 120,000 s/f of commercial space, 200 new residential units and retail.

The town has designated the properties as an area in need of redevelopment as part of its broader effort to reinvest in downtown, bring underutilized properties back into productive use and strengthen the area surrounding the historic Morristown Green.

“This is an important step forward for a part of downtown that has been waiting for new life,” said mayor Dougherty. “These properties occupy a highly visible location in the heart of Morristown, and their redevelopment will have a tremendous impact on our downtown. This proposal gives us an opportunity to bring new housing, commercial activity and retail to the area while creating a more vibrant and connected downtown for residents, businesses and visitors.”

Under SJP Properties’ proposal, the existing structures would be replaced with a new mixed-use development designed to reinvigorate one of the town’s most prominent downtown corridors. Additional details, including architectural plans, site design and potential commercial tenants, will be announced as the project moves through the planning and approval process.

“M Station has been a transformative development for Morristown, and the redevelopment of North Park will advance our long-standing vision for a more vibrant and elevated Morristown Green,” said Steven Pozycki, founder and CEO of SJP Properties. “Through the arrival of a skilled workforce, high-quality retail, and premier housing, we’ll reactivate this area and restore its place at the center of the town.”

SJP Properties previously developed M Station East and M Station West. Together, the two developments have brought 3,400 employees and multiple retail businesses to the town.

The North Park redevelopment represents another opportunity to strengthen the downtown, create new housing and business opportunities, and build on the town’s vision for a vibrant, walkable and active community centered around the Green.
