RETAIL SUCCESSES

Marcus at NoHu Rooftop
Porter

Although COVID-19 disrupted the food and beverage industry in devastating ways, there are several milestone accomplishments in the Mack-Cali portfolio that can be celebrated despite the pandemic. In late August 2020, Chef Marcus Samuelsson brought his signature style and cuisine to Marcus at NoHu Rooftop, a chic rooftop bar and restaurant located at the EnVue, Autograph Collection hotel on the Weehawken waterfront.

Situated on a 15,000-square-foot roof deck with expansive views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, and offering ample space for social distancing, Marcus at NoHu features a menu of seasonally inspired dishes and a hand-crafted selection of refreshing cocktails, wine, and beer.

In December 2020, Porter, a modern American gastropub offering shareable small plates, coal-fired entrees, wood-fired pizzas, and signature cocktails, opened on the ground level of RiverHouse 11 at Port Imperial. The debut concept comes from co-chefs Christopher Lim and Tara Glick, who met at Marc Forgione’s American Cut in Atlantic City. The new restaurant also includes Porter Provisions, an in-house cafe and bakery that showcases Chef Glick’s house-made pastries and ice cream and serves La Colombe coffee.

Jersey City, NJ

Harborside is Mack-Cali’s reimagination of Jersey City’s waterfront: a vibrant cultural district with hospitality at its core, blending premier offices, luxury living, locally inspired shopping and dining, and open public spaces for the community to enjoy.

Major capital improvements are taking place across the campus including office renovations, amenity upgrades, and public infrastructure improvements. Most dramatically, Harborside 1 is undergoing a massive renovation which includes a new, energy-efficient aluminum-composite panel and glass curtain wall, new larger, more energy-efficient windows that will allow significantly more natural light to flow into office floors, a completely reimagined ground-floor lobby with new visitor reception desk, new access control turnstiles at elevator bank entrances, and attractive, high-quality finishes, new exterior plazas and entryways, and much more.

As the integration of work and life accelerates, Harborside is perfectly positioned to benefit from new workplace trends, particularly as companies seek to respond to new talent demands for flexibility and overall well-being. By attracting a diverse mix of upscale restaurants and retailers, Mack-Cali is continuing to transform Harborside into a true destination – one that harnesses the distinctive character of Jersey City while cultivating its own unique arts, dining, and lifestyle scene.

Currently, Harborside spans 4.3 million square feet along the waterfront – which includes Class A office and retail space, all surrounded by thousands of residential units. Against the backdrop of New York City’s famed skyline, Harborside sits atop a major transportation hub, including the Exchange Place PATH station, the Harborside Light Rail station, and a NY Waterway ferry terminal, allowing for unsurpassed access between Manhattan and the greater New Jersey Gold Coast.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

The last year has brought many challenges to us, our stakeholders and communities we operate within. Business resilience and ensuring safety of our employees, tenants, and residents is becoming more crucial than ever. Mack-Cali is aware of its duties as a good corporate citizen and the impact its activities have on the environment and communities it operates in.

At Mack-Cali, we pride ourselves in being responsible corporate citizens, and are committed to continuously giving back to the communities we work and live in.

Although 2020 was vastly different than years past, we were able to support several organizations in our community such as the Jersey City Medical Center Holiday Toy Drive, St. Lucy’s Shelter, Hoboken Shelter, Women Rising, WE Project, and many others.

Through our Roseland Gives Back Program, residents across our 20+ property portfolio strengthen ties to their local communities by participating in various initiatives. In mid-2020, we formed a partnership with GreenDrop, a company which places a large container for residents to conveniently donate clothing in each residential building.
