E Residences at Hudson Hall A Commitment to the Environment and the Hudson Community • Over 100,000 SF in planned rooftop terraces and green roofs. • Innovations such as vehicle elevators and EV charging stations. • Commitment to LEED certification for all new developments. E Residences at the Arts District in Guttenberg A fter years of leading large technology projects in various countries in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., Mario Echevarria, President of Echevarria Industries Inc. is now entirely focused on improving his neighborhood through innovative developments. E Plaza & Residences is his latest project in North Bergen. Mr. Echevarria, with over 35 years of development experience, is in its truest sense of the word, a “local” developer, as he actually lives in Guttenberg. His firm is focused on developments in North Bergen, Guttenberg and West New York with dozens of projects completed and over 1,200 new units planned and many already approved. Through collaboration and responsible development, these projects have and will continue to provide a source of modern, elegant and affordable housing, as well as an abundance of jobs to NJ residents. Echevarria is leading an effort with local officials to develop an arts district on the west side of town near the Guttenberg Arts Gallery on Jackson St. Within a five-block radius, there are nearly a dozen new developments by Echevarria and a recently approved 156-unit development that features an Industry Museum dedicated to “STEAM” exhibits. “The intent is to educate children and spark an interest in the Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math”, says Mr. Echevarria. The first planned exhibit upon completion of the development will feature the embroidery industry and its impact on Hudson County. For decades, the county has proudly displayed a large sign with the words “The Embroidery Capital of the World Since 1872” on the Kennedy Blvd overpass on US495. For a tour of the planned museum visit: www.echevarria-industries.com/ echevarria-properties/projects/ The company’s commitment to the arts is evident by its hiring of local artists. The interior of E Plaza will showcase original murals, paintings and architectural pieces by community creators and designers. This concept of exhibiting local flavor in the arts will continue to be a part of all future Echevarria developments. Rendering of Industry Museum Planned for 7000 Adams St
