Plainfield: The Randolph Makes it Official with a Ribbon Cutting

PLAINFIELD, NJ — Managing Partner William J. Colgan of CHA Partners said at a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday that two-thirds of the 120 units at the 186,000-square-foot property dubbed The Randolph, a new rental development on the site of the former Muhlenberg Hospital, are already rented. Construction began in late 2019, and the project included environmental remediation and site-wide traffic and circulation improvements.

Colgan told the assembled group that the market rate project was “probably the hardest project CHA has ever done.” He said when the hospital closed in 2008, it left a “gaping wound” in the Plainfield community, with everyone wanting to see the hospital reopened, even though it was never going to happen. His project, he recalled, was an “extremely unpopular decision” at the time.

CHA Partners has completed and is leasing the multifamily addition to its redevelopment of the former Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield, New Jersey.

The Bloomfield, New Jersey-based company has opened the Randolph Apartments, a new, 120-unit luxury apartment building at 1330 Randolph Road. The residential property is part of CHA Partner’s master-planned redevelopment of the hospital campus, which also includes the creation of a new community-based healthcare facility to be known as the Muhlenberg Medical Arts Complex.

CHA Partners has unveiled a new 120-unit luxury apartment building in Plainfield, part of a master-planned redevelopment of the city’s former Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center.

Known as The Randolph Apartments, the complex has opened at 1330 Randolph Road at a site that will also include a new community-based health care facility. The property is already nearly 65 percent leased after hitting the market early this year, CHA said, breathing new life into the area after the hospital closed in 2008.

The developer, which is known for repurposing shuttered hospitals, celebrated the milestone on Wednesday alongside Mayor Adrian O. Mapp and other stakeholders.
