The borough of Fair Lawn, New Jersey has announced upcoming changes to pedestrian traffic patterns around the former Dollar Tree site as demolition work is set to begin in the coming months. The site will be redeveloped into a four-story mixed-use project featuring 145 age-restricted residential units and a 22,340 square foot Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store, along with additional retail space.

Why it matters

This redevelopment project represents a significant investment in Fair Lawn's commercial district, transforming a vacant retail space into a new mixed-use development that will bring additional housing and grocery options to the community. The changes to pedestrian routes and sidewalk closures aim to maintain safety and access during the construction process.

The details

The project will include 145 multi-family age-restricted (55 and over) residential units, a 22,340 square foot Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store, and 1,695 square feet of additional retail space, along with underground parking.
