298 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE AUGUST 2019 PREFERRED VENDOR n JMF Properties www.jmfproperties.com Intelligently-designed, highly-detailed, transit-oriented development continues to spread throughout New Jersey as government officials and local stakeholders recognize the lasting positive impact this type of development has on municipalities. Developer JMF Properties is at the forefront of this movement, creating properties that embrace the unique character of each community. JMF’s focus on this type of development is evident in thriving communities such as Estling Village in Denville and Clarus Maplewood, the first WELL Certified™ residential community in New Jersey. Under the leadership of Joseph M. Forgione, with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, JMF Properties has earned a reputation for creating residential, retail and mixed-use communities of lasting value in some of the state’s most desirable locations. Mr. Forgione has developed more than 2,500 residential units that are under JMF’s management, as well as multiple commercial and retail properties during his career. Additionally, more than a dozen projects are currently in various stages of approval or construction, totaling 1,200 residential units and more than 1,000,000 square feet of retail anchored by top retailers such as Whole Foods, Starbucks, Homesense, Shake Shack, LA Fitness and Lowe’s Home Improvement. Now JMF Properties is proud to introduce the newest residential community that will carry the “Clarus” brand name, Clarus Glen Ridge. Taking its cue from the property’s Latin name, which means “clear” or “bright”, Clarus Glen Ridge will offer a balanced lifestyle with light-filled residences, exquisite finishes and appointments, and a curated collection of amenities in the historic Borough of Glen Ridge, just a short walk from downtown Montclair and the Bay Street train station. Construction is underway, with an estimated spring, 2020 grand opening planned. To learn more, visit www.jmfproperties.com.
