Ridge Hill Reimagined
Joint venture partners North American Properties, Nuveen Real Estate, and Taconic Partners acquired Ridge Hill in May 2022 with plans to redevelop and reposition the outdoor lifestyle center as the preeminent mixed-use destination serving the tri-state region. Construction on Phase I of the value-add project, which focuses on reimagining the property’s streetscape and social gathering spaces to create a more cohesive, human-centric environment, is now underway. Ridge Hill’s merchandising mix is also being revamped with top-tier local and NYC-inspired food and beverage concepts as well as popular lifestyle brands. In addition to the physical enhancements, the overall guest experience will be elevated through resort-inspired hospitality and community-driven programming.
