Selected in a bidding process by the City
of Hackensack to redevelop an entire square block of Essex Street
plagued by aging buildings, lack of parking, and limited potential
for economic growth, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises supplanted four obsolete
buildings with a state-of-the-art medical office building. Sanzari
was chosen by the City of Hackensack from a total of seven developers,
who submitted proposals for the redevelopment of Essex Street.
“ Very
few urban renewal projects end up with facilities actually within
the urban corridor,” says
David Sanzari, president of Alfred Sanzari Enterprises. “As
a lifelong resident of Hackensack, it was my father’s vision
to undertake projects that he felt would transform neighborhoods
and positively affect the quality of life for residents and tenants.
This new medical office building which bears his name is an important
first step in what is hoped will be an ongoing and successful revitalization
of the City of Hackensack.”
Located directly across the
street from Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC), one of
the leading teaching hospitals
in the country, the Alfred N. Sanzari Medical Arts Building is
fully leased. With an exterior of sleek granite and solar reflective
glass,
the building’s design brings aesthetic appeal to the neighborhood.
Onsite parking for 350 cars makes it a convenient destination for
medical and retail services. The first level of 18,000 square feet
has been fully leased to a variety of retail tenants including Fleet
Bank, Starbucks, Duane Reade, Café Policastro
and Crystal Nails. The second, third, and fourth levels, comprising 66,000
square feet, has been fully leased to HUMC.
The entire project was funded by
Alfred Sanzari Enterprises without any funds from the city or its
taxpayers.
“ The Sanzari family is deeply gratified
to see so many people attending the private dedication honoring my
father for his vision, tremendous drive and love for this great city,” commented
David Sanzari. “The Alfred N. Sanzari Medical Arts Building
will enhance the community and honor a longtime resident who rose
to achieve his dreams for the good of all.”
Revitalization of
Hackensack is one of the leading economic redevelopment projects
in Bergen County aimed at restoring
economic vitality to the inner cities. The State of New Jersey, which
helps provide funding for urban redevelopment efforts, has made redevelopment
of core urban areas in the state the keystone of its state planning
and land use policies. Urban redevelopment is considered an essential
program for stemming urban sprawl, as well as, recovering environmentally
sensitive sites.
As a major developer of landmark commercial
and residential sites in Northern New Jersey, the Sanzari organization
has successfully developed two other redevelopment projects: Court
Plaza, a 335,000 square foot complex in Hackensack and Glenpointe,
a 650,000 square foot mixed-use complex in Teaneck, both transforming
the area into vital centers
for commerce. Glenpointe has won several awards for its architectural design
and elegant indoor landscaping with such features as waterfalls and marble
floors.
Founded in 1945, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises
is one of New Jersey's leading development organizations. The company
owns and manages over five million square feet of commercial, industrial,
residential and mixed-use real estate projects.
