Renderings have been revealed for 900 Springwood Avenue, a four-story mixed-use building in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Designed by MVMK Architecture and developed by Heshy Eissenberg and Jacob Lipschitz under the Memorial Avenue Holdings Urban Renewal LLC, the structure will yield 92 apartments, with 19 designated as affordable housing. The project will also include 7,248 square feet of office space, residential amenities, and parking for 107 vehicles. The 1.13-acre property consists of four parcels at the corner of Springwood Avenue and Memorial Drive.
The renderings show a sprawling low-rise building with a multifaceted massing incorporating corner cutouts. The façade will be composed of red brick with protruding sections of white paneling that extend in an irregular grid over the recessed corner. Contrasting blue paneling will be used on the walls behind the building’s several pocketed terraces, and new tree-lined sidewalks will surround the property.

The residential program will include 21 studios, 26 one-bedrooms, 41 two-bedrooms, and four three-bedroom apartments. Select units will come with private terraces.
A parking garage will occupy most of the first story and a 4,000-square-foot retail space will sit at the northern corner. There will also be additional retail frontage along Memorial Drive. The second story will house 2,970 square feet of amenity space and will feature two communal terraces spanning a combined 1,640 square feet. A 3,445-square-foot roof deck will cap the structure.
The property is currently occupied by a series of vacant low-rise structures, as seen in the below Google Street View image from October 2025.

Asbury Park City Council voted to approve a 30-year PILOT tax abatement for the project in late February. Under this abatement, the developer’s tax payments will start at a low, fixed percentage of revenue and then gradually increase in scheduled phases over the 30-year term.
The project is located in close proximity to the Asbury Park train station, serving the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line. The property is also a five-minute car ride from the beach.
A construction timeline for 900 Springwood Avenue has yet to be announced.

I pass this location on my walks from the station to Ocean Grove. Asbury Park leveled blocks in an attempt at urban renewal years ago, but often nothing was ever built on them. This has slowly changed, and things seem a bit upbeat except for some historic structures on the boardwalk. This project is literally on the other side of the tracks, a formerly great social divide. The structure in front of the “recessed corner” seems unnecessary with its peek-a-boo tree.
This looks cool
Being directly next to a train stop, I do wish this were taller.
It would be helpful to know if there will be bicycle storage and how long a bike ride it is to the beach as well as how long a walk. Everything should not be about cars annd driving time especially at shore locations! Maybe an hourly shuttle during the summer months?
It is walkable at less than a mile to Ocean Grove or Asbury Park beaches. Ocean Grove installed some artistic bicycle racks by the beach last year. They are in the shapes of various kinds of fish.
Good to see the development, but I wish we could move past this cheap architecture that’s shelf life is already up. We know how to make better looking buildings that can still look good in 40, 50, 100 years without having to redesign them.
This will be under water in 100 years.
