Pyramid Management Group Turns Eye Toward Residential Projects; Company Is Considering Housing at Palisades Center in Nyack
Pyramid Management Group, the company that operates the Palisades Mall in West Nyack, has been shoring up the finances of its malls, including Destiny USA in Syracuse. Farther south in New York State and Massachusetts, it’s turned its attention to residential projects to bring traffic to its centers.
The Syracuse-based company last month welcomed the first residents to a 282-unit apartment complex adjacent to its Kingston Collection on Massachusetts’ Plymouth Bay. Now it will do the same to stimulate traffic at Galleria at Crystal Run in Wallkill in the Hudson Valley.
Pyramid is working with Eliviat Group, a residential developer, to build a 224-unit market-rate residential complex on a five-acre parcel directly across from Galleria. The $40 million project is scheduled to break ground later this year and be ready to open in June 2024.
The four-story apartment complex will have a direct walkway connection to the Galleria, underground parking, and an acre of recreational space with a patio and pool for barbecues.
“This is really just the beginning of a much broader, portfolio-wide diversification strategy to bring exciting new uses into the mix with our existing assets. Staying ahead of the curve is the key to our success and resilience as a company,” said Pyramid CEO Stephen J. Congel in a press release announcing the Galleria project.
CBRE retail real estate experts have stated that residential and retail properties situated next to each other develop a symbiotic relationship that’s beneficial to retail tenants.
ON THE BERGEN BORDER: Mixed-Use Development Continues To Evolve At Former Mercedes Benz Site In Montvale
The S. Hekemian Group on Tuesday cut the ribbon for The District, the luxury multifamily residential component of its mixed-use North Market neighborhood in Montvale on the former Mercedes Benz site.
The District will include over 300 apartments in two buildings that flank a 50,000 square-foot office building. The first building, located at 100 Market Street, is nearly 50 percent leased, according to SHG.
“This milestone marks an exciting chapter in the ongoing evolution of North Market,” Hekemian said. “In developing The District, our goal was to create a one-of-a-kind multifamily offering that brings a new level of luxury apartment living to Bergen County and complements the surrounding neighborhood of eateries, experiences, shopping and lifestyle services. The extraordinary pace of leasing activity certainly validates that The District is truly something special.”
The developer plans to complete the second residential building at 300 Market Street in September.
North Market is part of the reimagined 32-acre former Mercedes-Benz USA North American headquarters campus. An office component, Workplace North Market, opened in 2021 and is nearly at 100 percent occupancy.
At the north end of the North Market site, SHG is developing an 86,000-square-foot medical office building where Valley Health Systems will open a 60,000-square-foot surgical center. The balance of that building will feature street-level retail as well.
The North Market neighborhood, which offers easy access to public transportation, also includes The Farm (The Shoppes at DePiero Farm), an adjacent project by SHG that opened in 2017, and is anchored by Bergen County’s first Wegman’s supermarket.
