Whole Foods, Restaurants Coming To New Large Mixed-Use Montgomery Promenade

MONTGOMERY, NJ — A new large mixed-use development project is set to break ground in Montgomery bringing with it a number of restaurants, stores, and a new Whole Foods location.

The Montgomery Township planning board approved the construction of Montgomery Promenade, a 292,700 square-foot center on Route206, announced the developer, SJC Ventures on Friday.

Anchored by a new Whole Foods Market grocery store location, the new mixed-use center will include two phases.

Locals can expect to see a slew of restaurants and stores also coming to the center. Confirmed tenant leases include Tim McLoone’s dual concept restaurants Iron Whale and The Robinson Ale House, New York City’s Dor L Dor women apparel, Kirk Ruoff’s award-winning breakfast/lunch concept Turning Point Restaurant, MoreThan Q, European Wax Center, Spavia, and Norman’s Hallmark.

The center is still seeking high-end shops, services, and additional dining for Montgomery Promenade, according to Justin Latone, senior vice president of leasing at SJC Ventures.

Plans to break ground on the 54-acre site that has sat undeveloped for more than 15 years will begin in January 2023, according to SJC Ventures.

"We’re extremely pleased to be able to bring this project to fruition after working with community
leaders and stakeholders to get it right for quite some time. The product that came from that
intensive collaboration is something the community can be extremely proud of," said Jeff
Garrison, partner at SJC Ventures.

Along with businesses, Montgomery Promenade will feature areas for walking and dedicated open green spaces.

The center is expected to welcome its first openings in summer 2024.
