Ridgefield Park is set to welcome a significant addition to its residential and commercial landscape with the groundbreaking of a new six-story multi-family development at 95 Challenger Road within the Overpeck Corporate Center. The project, spearheaded by KABR Group and Hornrock Properties, represents a major step in transforming the 60-acre corporate campus into a vibrant, mixed-use community that blends modern living, retail opportunities, and green space access.
Situated along the scenic banks of Overpeck Creek and adjacent to the expansive 805-acre Overpeck Park, the development will feature 216 rental residences, including 22 affordable units, addressing the growing demand for accessible housing in Bergen County. The design by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners emphasizes both functionality and lifestyle amenities, ensuring residents experience the best of modern urban living with easy access to nature and nearby transportation corridors.
The new building will include a variety of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, complemented by amenities such as an outdoor pool, resident lounge, café, coworking spaces, game rooms, a golf simulator, children’s playroom, pet spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Enclosed garage parking with EV charging stations will provide convenience for residents navigating daily commutes, particularly given the site’s proximity to New York City. Ground-floor retail space of 2,000 square feet will offer additional amenities and support the creation of a walkable, community-centered environment.
“95 Challenger Road represents an exciting next chapter for Overpeck Corporate Center,” said Michael Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer of KABR Group. “For more than a decade, KABR has been deeply invested in this campus, owning and managing commercial assets that have made it a premier destination for businesses. With this new ground-up multi-family building, we’re complementing that legacy, creating a vibrant, mixed-use environment where people can live, work, and enjoy the amenities of the property and surrounding area.”
Mayor Adam MacNeill highlighted the development’s significance for Ridgefield Park, emphasizing the strategic location and positive impact on the community. “This partnership stands ready to transform a challenging site into one of North Jersey’s premier living destinations. With its ideal location near a beautiful county park and unbeatable proximity to New York City, this development truly offers the best of both worlds. On behalf of the village, we are proud to be part of this endeavor and look forward to the long-term benefits it will bring.”
Spanning 4.66 acres on the northeastern edge of the Overpeck Corporate Center, the project is just the beginning of potential growth within the campus. KABR also controls an adjacent parcel at 64 Challenger Road and is collaborating with the village on plans for a second multi-family building, signaling a larger vision to create a mixed-use hub combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
The Ridgefield Park development reflects a broader trend across New Jersey, where corporate campuses and underutilized commercial properties are being reimagined as dynamic living communities. By integrating affordable housing, retail, and amenities within a single location, the project not only meets the region’s growing residential needs but also fosters economic growth and community engagement.
Residents and potential homebuyers interested in Ridgefield Park and similar projects can explore additional insights and trends in the New Jersey real estate sector. As KABR and Hornrock advance construction, 95 Challenger Road is poised to become a model for sustainable, mixed-use development in Bergen County and beyond, providing a blueprint for balancing urban density, affordability, and lifestyle quality.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful planning, collaboration with local government, and attention to modern amenities can transform a corporate campus into a thriving residential community, setting a precedent for the future of real estate development in New Jersey.
