Pro-pedestrian Jersey project nears completion

A new mixed-use development that aims to transform a New Jersey suburb into a pedestrian friendly enclave has started attracting its first residents. Millennium Homes is close to finishing the Mews, the developer’s first project in Garwood, which consists of 40 apartments, 44 age-restricted adult townhomes and 21,000 square feet of retail space on the town’s main drag. Lisa Macchi, executive vice president of Millennium, said the first families are starting to move in and that a Washington Mutual has opened a retail branch. A printing shop, upscale spa and wine bar have also signed leases at the development. more By John Celock
