The Shops at Riverside

OVERVIEW
The Shops at Riverside Expansion project consisted of adding approximately 250,000-SF of leasable area to the existing mall in Hackensack, New Jersey. The expansion was serviced by a five-level 900-car parking structure integrated with restaurant and retail uses on the first floor. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, natural resources permitting and surveying services for the project. Langan also provided construction oversight services for utilities, building pads, backfill and foundations. The overall design required detailed construction phasing including the demolition of existing parking lots and structures as well as vehicle- and pedestrian-traffic protection. Detailed survey information was necessary to coordinate the improvements with existing site features and elevations.

Goya Foods Headquarters

OVERVIEW
The new headquarters consists of an approximately 615,000-SF warehouse on a 40-acre site. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and natural resources permitting services. Our multi-disciplined approach greatly simplified a complex development process, thereby bringing great value to Goya. Additionally, Langan recommended a concrete modulus column subgrade improvement program, which was designed to support a high slab loading with a minimal settlement tolerance. This solution saved approximately $8 million as compared to a standard deep pile foundation.

Mannington Mills

OVERVIEW
This project involved the mitigation and restoration of over nine acres of wetland and upland areas as a requirement of an EPA dictated clean-up action. The final design featured a freshwater forested wetland; two areas of tidal emergent wetland; a stormwater wetland; and a restored meadow/old field habitat in upland areas over capped environmental waste. Successful permitting and design of this site required close cooperation between landscape architects, natural resources/permitting staff, and environmental engineers from the initial design phase through the completion of construction.

Matrix Business Park at 7A

OVERVIEW
Located just minutes from exit 7A of the New Jersey Turnpike, the Matrix Business Park has become prime real estate for the industrial/distribution market in New Jersey. Langan’s involvement with the Matrix Business Park at 7A began in 2005 with the design, permitting, and construction administration of an approximately 900,000-SF distribution center for KTR Capital Partners in the western portion of the park. Langan then designed and permitted three speculative facilities in the eastern portion of the park. Langan performed detailed site development design of the three additional facilities, totaling approximately 1.65-million-SF of floor space, and obtained the required entitlements from the Township, County, State, and local soil conservation district. To date, Langan is responsible for the design, permitting, and construction administration of five of the distribution facilities in the park totaling 2.8-million SF of floor space.

KTR Warehouse Development

OVERVIEW
Langan developed a site layout to overcome several constraints and provide the maximum building square footage for the client. This resulted in an 111,300-SF building on the northern lot and an impressive 905,000-SF building on the southern lot. Design constraints included 15 acres of wetlands, an unstudied flood plain, a 16-inch diameter water main in the middle of the site, high voltage electric lines and associated easements, and close proximity to a residence. Langan performed a flood study and net fill calculations to obtain a NJDEP Stream Encroachment Permit. We also designed the site lighting and landscaped buffer behind the West Manor Way residence to address all of the property owner’s concerns.
