Valley and Third Streets
smart growth. Among other awards, our projects have earned an Award for Excellence
from the Urban Land Institute as well as an Environmental Merit Award from the
United States EPA. Our multi-disciplinary company brings a national perspective in
planning and development that is grounded in our regional experience in metro New
York - from New Haven, CT to New York City to Newark and Morristown, NJ.
Enclosed is our proposal for the Third and Valley site. Our team’s ultimate goal for
the project is to create a vibrant, transit-oriented community that is economically
and environmentally sustainable and builds on the success of the 2009 South Orange
Downtown Vision. Our proposal is designed as an integrated building, with a screened
parking structure surrounded by a mixed-use building of residential over commercial
and institutional uses. The total square footage of the development is approximately
Site context aerial of proposed
240,000 SF (excluding parking) and consists of the following program elements:
transit oriented development
• 206 residential multi-family units in approximately 222,000SF
• 2,500 SF of retail at the corner of Valley & Third Streets
• 10,000 SF of residential Flex space along Valley Street that could convert to retail
• Potential live/work units along Third Street
• 5,000 SF Rescue Squad facility at the intersection of Sloan and Third Streets
• Parking for more than 500 cars
Our proposal incorporates the recommendations of the Vision Plan by providing a
mixed use response that includes convenient parking for commuters and employees
as well as parking for new residents. The program includes a mix of new residential
options at a range of income levels with a variety of unit types, along with a flexible
approach to promote retail along Valley Street. Finally we are incorporating into our
design a distinguished new home for the South Orange Rescue Squad that builds
upon the tradition of outstanding public buildings in South Orange.
Our proposed design resolves some the contradictions inherent in a gateway site. It
Proposed view of Third modulates between the scale of the residential neighborhood and the downtown
Street Facade and tower that core by taking advantage of the grade change to step up from a three story massing
terminates the vista at the end along Valley Street. The large parking garage, serving a mix of users, is effectively
of Sloan Street screened by appropriately scaled residential elements, allowing it to serve the station
and downtown core while blending harmoniously with the adjacent neighborhoods.
Similarly, our plan and streetscape is sensitive to the pedestrian realm and incorporates
pedestrian and biking elements. Finally, our design combines a respect for the Village’s
impressive architectural heritage while also proposing a development that will
incoproate state of the art sustainable green features.

This diagram shows the fine and

identities of downtown South Orange in
relation to the new transit development.
The proposed plan is compatible and
complimentary to the historic downtown.
The building massing and its breakdown
are designed to reflect the more
traditional "urban increment" of the
existing downtown South Orange.
District facade identities will echo the
cadence of the buildings in the existing
downtown environment, in a similar
pedestrian oriented urban realm of
equal quality and dignity. Buildings will
step up from three story buildings
adjacent to existing three story context
across Valley Street, to four story
buildings at the core.

27. Principles
Jonathan Rose Companies has developed a set of principles to support our mission
and guide our work regardless of a project’s scale. The principles are:
Diversity. We seek to increase the diversity of the places in which we live and work.
We know that biological systems thrive when they are diverse, and are likely to
fail if they become monocultures. This principle also applies to cities, cultures and
bioregions. Our work is targeted to increase the diversity of the communities in
which we work. Healthy communities also mix public places—residences, places of
work, marketplaces, centers for education and spiritual search. We have found that a
range of uses and income levels support each other; they also act as a defense during
economic swings that may affect a portion of the economy.
Environmental Responsibility. Development that is environmentally responsible
begins by choosing the right places to build (and preserving the places not to build),
and proceeds by being thoughtful about how we build new construction or renovate
our existing building stock. By coupling sophisticated green understanding with
practical implementation strategies, we are able to develop green buildings at a
nominal additional cost that result in substantial operating efficiencies and savings.
Livelihood. The quality of integration of one’s work with the rest of one’s personal
goals is expressed by livelihood, an enriched and balanced life. Economic development
is often measured solely by job creation, home ownership rates, and the flow of dollars
as systems of measurement that prioritize consumption. We believe instead that an
economic development paradigm should focus on an investment in those elements
that enhance livelihoods such as meaningful work that supports one’s needs and a
community’s culture. Community design also plays a significant role in enhancing
livelihood. For example, the more mixed uses that allow for the economic products of
a community to recycle within it, the better the community is able to sustain itself.
Interdependence. The inextricable relationship among projects, users, and their
surroundings defines interdependence. The better we understand the subtle effects of
the places we build, the less we disrupt the web of life, and the more we strengthen
the health of the communities that we create in a fully dependent worldview.
Impermanence. Finally, along with interdependence, we recognize impermanence:
things change. This provides us with hope and a sense of responsibility. Since things
change, we can improve current conditions. However, we also have a responsibility to
plan for the future, to design in a way that is adaptable. We try to design and build so
that human and natural environments can change for the better.
www.rosecompanies.com JONATHAN ROSE COMPANIES | PRINCIPLES

28. Development Practice
Our Development Practice is shaped by a holistic approach
to socially, economically and environmentally responsible
development. We draw upon the synergy of our core practice
groups to conceptualize and implement innovative solutions
ranging in scale from mixed-use green communities to individual
buildings.
