JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty
Corporation (NYSE: CLI) yesterday celebrated the grand opening of
the Lutze Biergarten, Jersey
City's first outdoor biergarten along the Hudson River
Waterfront. The new biergarten is adjacent to Harborside, the
Company's premier, mixed-use asset in Jersey City. Jersey
City Mayor Steven Fulop
joined Mack-Cali Chief Executive Officer Michael J. DeMarco at the ribbon cutting
ceremony to celebrate the newest addition to the Jersey City waterfront.
"We are thrilled to open the doors of the Lutze to Jersey City as the Hudson Waterfront continues
to develop itself into a vibrant destination for the entire
community to enjoy," said DeMarco. "Just in time for the spring and
summer season, the Lutze will provide guests with a one-of-a-kind
experience featuring spectacular views of New York City's iconic skyline."
Mayor Fulop said that Mack-Cali's latest investment in Jersey City will support the growth and
development of the City, combined with the city's new Exchange
Place Alliance Special Improvement District, which aims to improve
the Jersey City Waterfront while promoting economic revitalization
and social growth across the Exchange Place district.
"Thanks to their commitment and faith in our community, the
Lutze expects to provide nearly 100 job opportunities to the local
community and will be donating a substantial portion of their
profits to local charities and political causes that benefit
thousands of residents across our city," said Mayor Steven M. Fulop.
The Lutze, a 23,000-square-foot outdoor biergarten featuring
three unique seating areas, offers guests a variety of craft beers,
cider, wine, and sangria, as well as delicious food from Jake's
Downtown and Bacon Me Crazy. Throughout the biergarten,
customers have access to a variety of seating and lounge
areas with several fire pits, games, and an event stage,
situated in the heart of the biergarten, will welcome local live
entertainment. The family- and pet-friendly Lutze is open daily,
from May through October.
Owned by Mack-Cali, the Lutze
is part of the Company's initiative to activate the Jersey City
Waterfront and further create a destination where residents,
tenants, and visitors can have a true live-work-play
experience.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was part of the biergarten's Grand
Opening Celebration, which featured over 70 vendors, along with a
variety of food trucks, drinks and games, children's face painting,
and a stunning fireworks display.
Mack-Cali is currently engaged
in a transformation and re-imagination of its Harborside property,
inspired by the complex's industrial past. The transformed
Harborside will feature high-end dining and shopping experiences in
an open layout, with easy access to the Waterfront Esplanade and
magnificent views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
