Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Construction Of Phase II On Gateway Of Carteret Project To Begin
The construction of a public plaza has also been planned, making way for street-side cafes. The Roosevelt Avenue streetscape will include decorative pavers, ornamental-style street lighting and green space, maintaining consistency with the town’s many other completed streetscape projects. “Gateway at Carteret will evolve into a complete town center, including a parking deck to accommodate many new residents, employees and visitors expected to flow into Chrome,” said Kaplan.
“Kaplan’s ongoing project has been a welcome improvement to the Chrome neighborhood,” Reiman said. “Gateway promises to be among the vanguard of urban revitalization projects throughout the state. This historic part of Carteret will ultimately be returned to its former commercial and residential stature, while offering comfortable residency, convenient access to commuter resources, as well retail space.”
“This project has always been a 7-10 year build out,” Reiman added. “While we would love to have seen Phase II start earlier, the national and regional economy has impacted every construction dollar and permit across the nation. We are fortunate that although this process has been slow-going, vacant building lots have been a far cry from the abandoned buildings, crime and prostitution that formerly characterized this neighborhood.”
