QUARTET OF TOWERS PROPOSED ACROSS RIVER FROM MANHATTAN
If developer Edward Elanjian of Denver-based EnviroFinance Group can overcome local opposition, four residential towers ranging from 595 to 714 ft., or approximately 55 and 65 stories, respectively, will be built in Edgewater, New Jersey, on a narrow strip of land near the riverfront at 615 River Road, New York YIMBYreports.
