MONTGOMERY: Demolition begins at future Promenade site

MONTGOMERY Madison Marquette started its demolition phase on Route 206 last week to prepare the site for the construction of the Montgomery Promenade.

The Montgomery Promenade will be a "retail town center" located on the corer of Routes 206 and 518, said a description of the project on Madison Marquettes website.

Project Manager John Muly said workers were taking down the old Princeton Volkswagen building and a vacant warehouse.

He said he did not know how many people were working on the demolition and did not provide an estimate of the phases cost.

"Were taking down the buildings to make the site look better," he said. "The site will be ready for work after the demolition."

He did not say which companies are talking with Madison Marquette about leasing spaces.

Township Administrator Donato Nieman said, "the township is pleased to see the vacant buildings coming down and we like to see the project is moving forward."

The 330,000-square-foot development will serve as a "pedestrian friendly retail experience and a community focal point" for more than 120,000 people, said the website.
