Former Corporate Campus Zoned for Up to 400 Residential Units with 20% Affordable Set-Aside

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. (Oct. 1, 2024) – Prism Capital Partners has expanded its portfolio with the purchase of a 33-acre former corporate campus in Woodland Park. Located at 385 Rifle Camp Road, the property is an ideal redevelopment play, with in-place zoning approval for up to 400 multifamily units with a 20% affordable housing set-aside, according to Prism’s Edwin Cohen, principal partner.

JLL team members Jose Cruz, Jeremy Neuer and Ryan Robertson represented the seller; terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“At a time when New Jersey is facing a severe housing shortage, we were attracted by the opportunity to repurpose a former suburban corporate campus in an outstanding location,” Cohen said. “This is an absolutely gorgeous property, and we look forward to its next chapter – one that ultimately will provide Passaic County with a significant number of new residences, including a generous affordable housing component.”

The property offers sweeping views all the way to the Manhattan skyline. Convenient to I-80 and routes 46 and 3, the site boasts easy access to schools, shopping and recreation, including 300+ acres of dedicated park space at nearby Garret Mountain Reservation.
