Residential and Hotel

The success of the project is all in the exacting details

The luxury mixed-use complex in the heart of Cliffside Park, N.J. is a 15 story building featuring 314 residential units and a unique blend of 52,000 sf of retail and office space, underground parking, a 190-space municipal parking lot, and nearly 800 SlenderWall® architectural precast panels manufactured by Smith-Midland Corporation.

The $140 million Towne Centre of Cliffside Park also features a one-acre plaza with a reflecting pool and outdoor seating and a 3 floor pool deck. Views from many of the hi-rise residential units have sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.

Smith-Midland, the Easi-Set SlenderWall licensed precast producer was called on to design M-shaped precast panels that would be used to create a lightweight exterior for the building. Working closely with Virgona & Virgona Architects, Smith-Midland developed the highly detailed designs for the exterior cladding.

“The M-shaped panels will allow for bigger windows and more natural light than usual within the building itself,” said Steve Demas, Smith-Midland VP of Project Management. “We’ve already used this technique successfully on another building in New Jersey.” Smith-Midland was also responsible for installing the pre-insulated panels.

Borough officials expect the Towne Center to create hundreds of permanent jobs, enliven the downtown business district and generate significant tax revenue.
