The Ribbon Cutting for The Residence at Upper Saddle River took place Monday, May 5, 2023.  It was an exciting and momentous event, marking the completion of a remarkable housing development. Located at 570 Route 17 North in Upper Saddle River, this residential complex consists of 70 units that cater to specific housing needs within the community.

Developed by the Housing Development Corporation in collaboration with the Housing Authority of Bergen County, The Residences at Upper Saddle River exemplify a commitment to providing affordable and inclusive housing options. The project showcases the dedication of these organizations to address the diverse housing requirements of the community.

The ceremony brought together community leaders, government officials, and representatives from the housing organizations to celebrate this significant achievement.

Out of the 70 units, 56 have been designated for senior citizen households. This allocation recognizes the specific needs and preferences of older adults in the community, offering them a safe and comfortable living environment tailored to their requirements. These units are designed to promote independent living while providing a supportive and inclusive community for seniors.

Additionally, 18 units at The Residences are dedicated to special needs households. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that individuals with specific physical or developmental challenges have access to suitable housing that meets their unique needs. The development prioritizes accessibility, ensuring that these households can navigate and enjoy their living spaces comfortably.
