AECOM announced today that its Tishman Construction operation is serving as general contractor for the first phase of Tucker Development Corporation’s Hudson Lights project.
Located at the base of the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., the initial phase of Hudson Lights will be a US$218-million mixed-use development on the western portion of a 15-acre redevelopment area. Comprising 517,000 square feet, the project includes the construction of 143,000 square feet of restaurants, retail and entertainment uses, 276 residential apartment units, along with parking accommodating 864 spaces.
“We are honored to be working with Tucker Development Corporation to build the visionary Hudson Lights project, which is a tremendous redevelopment effort,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM chairman and chief executive officer. “Positioned where the Fort Lee community connects with Upper Manhattan, we look forward to our construction services team transforming this site into a thriving commercial and residential hub.”
Demolition and clearing of the site have commenced. Completion of the project’s first construction phase is scheduled for summer 2015.
