The Shops at Riverside – AMC Addition

Project: The Shops at Riverside - AMC Addition
Client: Simon Property Group

The Shops at Riverside is an upscale , enclosed shopping center in Hackensack, N.J. first opened in 1977. With the closing and take-back of a three-level Saks Fifth Avenue department store, JP2 was retained to fully convert the building into shops, restaurants, and a new flagship luxury AMC multi-screen theater. The 1,100-seat theater facility occupies the upper level of the former department store building. The AMC required demolition and reconstruction of the upper floor with the roof at a higher level to accommodate the theater stadium seating. The entire building was stripped to a structural frame and brought up to current requirements for life safety. JP2 worked closely with AMC to integrate their requirements for projection mezzanines, acoustics, and other vital aspect essential to their new luxury cinema offering while still allowing restaurant and retail tenants including Cheesecake Factory and Barnes & Noble to occupy the lower level.

    Project: Southern Streams Health and Wellness Center
    Client: Mary Harvin Transformation Center Community Development

    "We are missing the point when we don’t eliminate the blight in our urban communities. It is disconcerting to witness rows of houses with irreparable infrastructure damage and caved roofs not immediately condemned and razed.” - Bishop Donte Hickman

It is planned to house a new library, health clinic and the corporate headquarters for the Mary Harvin Transformation Center.
