As a long-term steward of the Riverbend District, Advance Realty Investors has played a central role in shaping this transformation. Through coordinated redevelopment efforts, Advance undertook comprehensive brownfield remediation, delivered new roadways and utilities, facilitated the modernization of the Harrison PATH Station, and partnered with the township to build a new vision for the area.
What began as an ambitious redevelopment concept more than 20 years ago has now become one of the region’s most successful examples of transit-oriented urban renewal. The Riverbend District blends residential communities, storefront retail, hospitality, green space, and cultural activation—creating a highly walkable neighborhood with direct access to Manhattan, Jersey City, and Newark.
Today, the district’s architecture and streetscape emphasize both community and convenience, offering residents expansive amenities, modern design elements, and everyday walkability.
Harrison’s steady growth reflects a broader regional shift toward lifestyle-driven living. As highlighted in the TAPinto article, the township’s new identity has made it a preferred destination for young professionals, families, and long-term residents. Its proximity to major employment centers, paired with new construction housing offerings, has accelerated residential demand year after year.
The Riverbend District has been at the core of this momentum—delivering a range of multifamily options, neighborhood retail, and the energy of a connected urban-suburban environment.
With additional residential phases underway, future retail and commercial opportunities, and continued public-realm enhancements, the Riverbend District’s next chapter is already in motion. Advance Realty Investors remains committed to shaping Harrison’s long-term growth while honoring its historic legacy and embracing its modern identity.
