ROCHELLE PARK, NJ — Tulfra Real Estate, the real estate and development firm behind Village Center of Rochelle Park, announced that the project has entered the next phase of development focused on beautification of the grounds.

The 7.5-acre mixed-use property at 120 West Passaic St. will undergo a series of improvements to its on-site retention pond, located on the southwest corner of the property, as well as extensive landscaping throughout.

“This significant next stage of development will transform the old retention pond into a public park -- a beautiful setting to walk, get inspired and significantly enhance the quality of life for all residents of the community,” said Sonny Jumani, president and partner of Tulfra Real Estate. “We are eagerly looking forward to seeing these renovations come to fruition.”

According to Jumani, plans for retention pond renovation include dredging the pond, aerating turf around the pond and integrating extensive landscaping designed to beautify the pond, and help maintain the integrity of the pond walls.

“Retention ponds have a very important purpose managing stormwater to prevent flooding – but they can also be a beautiful respite on a lunch break or for an after-dinner stroll,” Jumani said. “These improvements are designed to do both: Ensure the pond continues to do its job while offering serene open space for visitors and residents of Village Center of Rochelle Park to enjoy.”

According to Jumani, landscaping plans call for planting trees, grass, shrubbery, and plants alongside the areas of the property that face West Passaic St. and throughout designated open space between the new apartment complex and Sprout Brook.

Tulfra Real Estate acquired the property, a former AT&T data site, in late 2018. Plans underway at Village Center of Rochelle Park include construction of 8,000 s/f of build-to-suit retail space and a 160-unit luxury apartment complex. A 100,000 s/f, 816-unit self-storage facility was recently completed and is now open.
