Enhancing Customer Experience and Sustainability
A new Target will join Flemington Marketplace, a vibrant 239,000-square-foot community center located on the highly trafficked Route 202 near Flemington Circle in Flemington, NJ. The redevelopment project is underway for a new 75,525 square-foot Target store to be added to the center. This comprehensive update to the center is set to significantly enhance the shopping experience by integrating modern amenities, boosting sustainability, and aligning the store’s aesthetics with Target’s iconic brand identity. Other key tenants include Kohl’s, Aldi, Michaels, Chilis, Panera Bread, Verizon, Cold Stone Creamery, among others.
Key Features of the Redevelopment
Designated Parking for Online Order Pickups
As online shopping continues to grow in popularity, Target is addressing the needs of its digital-savvy customers by designating specific parking spaces for online order pickups. These conveniently located spaces near the store entrance will make it easier for customers to quickly and efficiently collect their purchases.
EV Charging Stations
In a move towards sustainability, the redevelopment includes the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. These stations will cater to the increasing number of customers who drive electric vehicles, providing them with a convenient place to charge their cars while they shop.
Facade and Sidewalk Updates
One of the most visible changes will be the updated facade and sidewalk area, designed to reflect Target’s easily recognizable style. The new exterior will feature the brand’s signature color schemes and logo placement, using high-quality materials to ensure a fresh and durable look. The sidewalks will be replaced or repaired to create modern, safe, and accessible pathways that comply with ADA standards.
Starbucks and CVS Pharmacy
The new Target store will also house a Starbucks and a CVS Pharmacy, providing customers with additional convenience and enhancing the store’s appeal. Shoppers can enjoy a cup of coffee while they shop and take advantage of the pharmacy’s services.
Common Area Enhancements
LED Lighting
To improve energy efficiency and provide better illumination, the redevelopment plan includes the installation of new LED lighting on the building.
Landscaping
Aesthetic improvements extend to the shopping center’s exterior with updated landscaping.
