Mill Creek Breaks Ground on 253-Unit Fort Lee Apartments

Mill Creek Residential said Tuesday it had broken ground on Modera Fort Lee, a high-rise apartment community located along New Jersey’s Gold Coast. Located at 55 Main St. in Fort Lee, the project will feature 253 units, with first move-ins anticipated for November 2026. A second phase will be developed at a later date.

“With its proximity to New York City and the surrounding employment markets, Fort Lee continues to become a sought-after living destination,” said Maria Masi, senior managing director of development in New Jersey for Mill Creek Residential. “We look forward to providing a top-of-market experience and will aim to become the preferred choice for the market’s discerning renters.”

Modera Fort Lee will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with various layouts and an average size of 972 square feet. Homes will feature two distinct color themes and a variety of refined features.
