Dive Brief:
Land-use consultancy Dresdner Robin has completed the $10 million first phase of environmental remediation at The Cove project in Jersey City, N.J., a joint venture between Argent Ventures and H&R REIT. Significant public infrastructure improvements will enable the construction of a live-work-play, mixed-use campus featuring residential, retail and life sciences laboratory components, according to a new release.
The 18-acre parcel represents one of the largest development sites near downtown Jersey City, sitting adjacent to Liberty State Park with clear views of Manhattan. The site currently consists of vacant brownfields and is bisected by a tidal ditch that receives a combined sewer outfall. Dresdner Robin is providing environmental, civil engineering, surveying and planning services on the project, and has remained closely involved with the development for over a decade.
