Nave Newell understands that the land development approval process continues to become more complicated. Our clients rely on us to take them from idea to buildable project, while navigating more difficult land sites, increases in regulations, and more-involved communities.

Newell prepared this land development plan for a two-phased light manufacturing
and distribution facility totaling approximately 300,000 sf. Situated
on approximately 20 acres within Phase III of the Highlands Corporate
Center, this project was designed and approved for construction under
difficult time constraints due to the relocation of manufacturing facilities
and limiting production down-times for the prospective tenant.

This
project involved the development of a 137-acre commercial park. The
property owner wanted the flexibility to develop individual parcels at
different times. Nave Newell was hired to modify the original Site
Master Plan for the entire commercial park to optimize the available
acreage while reducing infrastructure costs.
Project work included representation before municipal authorities, the completion of an NPDES permit for regional storm water analysis and the creation of colored renderings that the property owner used for marketing purposes. In addition, Nave Newell evaluated the existing and proposed sewer main and pump stations and then designed a regional sewer alternative. The regional sewer alternative was proposed to minimize construction costs, as well as reduce the approval time by regulatory agencies.

Newell completed land development services to develop 28.5 acres of raw
ground for a new 262,000SF manufacturing plant for this bottler of spring
water. The site selection process required the evaluation of various
parcels, the completion of utility and highway feasibility studies, aerial
reconnaissance, and meetings with the Governor’s Response Team.
The accelerated construction schedule required the preparation and approval of land development plans within a three month time period. Keeping down earthwork and utility costs were among the challenges in meeting this fast-tracked schedule. Other key issues addressed were the design of a sewer-metering manhole, the construction of a stormwater management basin with a floodplain, and the lining of storm facilities to avoid infiltration into the limestone subsurface. The site layout required a plan that would permit heavy tractor trailer traffic to and from the property, as well as accommodate a future 150,000SF building expansion.

This
275-acre brownfields redevelopment site is composed mainly of land once
occupied by the Port Reading Railroad as a rail yard and creosote treating
facility. The project is located on the Arthur Kill and is currently
home to a Conrail rail yard and a concrete block manufacturing plant.
The parcel presented several challenges for Nave Newell including a multitude of easements and riparian claims by the State of New Jersey, as well as a host of environmental issues. The property contained several existing riparian grants while other upland portions of the project were formerly flowed by tidal tributaries to which the State of New Jersey was claiming rights. Nave Newell identified those areas claimed by the State of New Jersey not having grants and coordinated with the owner’s council to develop a strategy for acquisition or license. Nave Newell also identified the location and magnitude of all recorded easements affecting the property as well as several unrecorded easements and licenses.
