Kearny Point in Kearny, NJ, is a 130-acre site on a peninsula straddling the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers and graced with breathtaking, panoramic views of the NYC skyline. Once a world-renowned federal ship-building facility and an American military and industrial powerhouse, the site nearly became another unsustainable, carbon-intense, warehouse district offering limited job creation and local economic development. Thanks to parent company Hugo Neu’s mission of fostering a healthier environment while accelerating equitable, sustainable, green growth and improved quality of life for present and future generations, the outcome is positively transformative. This Smart Growth-awarded, state-of-the-art campus is becoming a bold regional and national model for the adaptation and rebirth of sites as the future of sustainable, watershed-driven development and revitalization.
