$500M Berkeley Heights Redevelopment Adds Six New Retailers

The Park, a 185-acre mixed-use campus in Berkeley Heights, NJ, announced six new retailers that will occupy The District at The Park beginning in July. The tenants have been signed as the former office campus undergoes a $500-million redevelopment.

The latest retail commitments bring a mix of wellness, dining, and lifestyle concepts to the neighborhood. The upcoming food and beverage concepts include: Four Spoons Ice Cream Company, Doner Shack and Cafe Exchange. On the wellness side, Prime IV Hydration & Wellness will open a modern wellness facility.

Additional offerings will include Dogtopia, providing daycare, boarding and spa services for dogs; and Greatness Wins, an elevated athletic apparel brand founded by Chris Riccobono, Derek Jeter and Misty Copeland, which will open its first flagship location along District Drive.

“After years of working on The Park’s transformation, seeing these diverse retail additions come to fruition is incredibly exciting,” said Shane Connell, EVP at The Connell Company. “The mix of wellness, dining, and lifestyle brands reflects the momentum behind what we’re building, and each one brings something fresh, energetic, and inviting to the neighborhood.”
