Update:

Sayreville gets to The Point with redevelopment project
Groundbreaking on first store tentatively set for this summer

The master plan for The Point at Sayreville is moving forward. The Borough Council approved amendments to the massive redevelopment plan proposed by O’Neill Properties of Pennsylvania at its April 8 meeting. O’Neill Properties needed to conduct land sales and exchanges with different entities before submitting a final amended plan for the former National Lead site, located off Main Street Extension in Sayreville.

The 453-acre site, which will include residential, commercial and recreational development, will break ground this summer if all goes as planned, according to Brian O’Neill, chairman of O’Neill Properties.

“We expect to have a shovel in the ground this summer,” he said. “Our first big tenant is Bass Pro Shops, and we need to have their building delivered to them by the fall of 2014.”

While the overall redevelopment plan is approved, O’Neill Properties will need to appear before the Planning Board for other tenants as they sign on to move into The Point at Sayreville. They will also be appearing with a general development plan for the overall site.

“We will be there consistently [for] as long as this takes,” O’Neill said.
