Site & Civil Projects

McLaren worked with the Roseland Property Company since the mid-1990s on the development of Port Imperial, a $1.7 billion master planned waterfront community, along two miles of the Hudson River, in West New York and Weehawken, New Jersey. Port Imperial consists of 6,500 residential units and approximately 2 million square feet of commercial space, including office, retail, entertainment, and a full service hotel.

A new state-of-the-art transportation, storage, and repair facility is needed to meet the Rockland County Highway Department’s operational needs, now and throughout the next 50 years. This facility will also serve as the County’s backup emergency operations center. A 24-acre location was selected for convenient access to Rockland’s roads and highways. It is situated on the border between Clarkstown and the Village of Chestnut Ridge, in the Town of Ramapo.

McLaren is providing site/civil, structural and bridge design/engineering services for this major redevelopment project on the Yonkers waterfront of the Hudson River. Located in the Gateway District of Yonkers, the River Park Center project encompasses the site informally known as “Chicken Island." When completed, River Park Center will be a more than two million square foot mixed-used complex that includes retail, residential, hotel, office and entertainment space, anchored by a new minor league baseball stadium.

Rockland Community College Technology Building was the first new permanent construction on campus in over twenty years. The 100,000 sq. ft., three-story building houses over ninety faculty and staff offices and student services. It features 21 state-of-the-art classrooms, including a lecture hall and computer laboratories, which increased classroom capacity on campus by approximately 40%.

In conjunction with the City of Yonkers’ Master Plan to redevelop its Business District, McLaren was retained to provide structural, marine, bridge, civil, and geotechnical engineering services at Point Street Landing, on the Hudson River. The 32-acre site is bounded by the River to the North and West, to the East by the Hudson Line of Metro-North Railroad, and to the South by a bus depot and bag factory. When the development is complete, the site will contain 1140 residential units, including four high rise buildings ranging from 26 to 39 stories. The structures will feature 40,000 square feet of retail space and 54,000 of commercial space. Also included will be a public esplanade, a 450-slip marina (225 wet, 225 dry), a new train station for Metro North Railroad and a parking structure.
