WHITMAN COMPLETES REMEDIATION FOR MULTIFAMILY PROJECT

NORTHVALE, N.J. — New Jersey-based Whitman has completed environmental remediation and site work for a 6-acre land parcel located in Northvale. Formerly a television set, the site contained extensive contamination from underground storage tanks operated by a land development and construction business that had previously operated on the site. The site’s developer, Rio Vista, plans to redevelop the property into Rio Vista Greens, an 88-acre multifamily community. The project will include the construction of townhouse and apartment-style units, as well as a three-story clubhouse, a pool and other recreational facilities. The state of New Jersey provided technical and financial assistance for the remediation through its Brownfield Reimbursement Program. The construction timetable for the multifamily project was not disclosed.
