  • Old York Cellars Expression of Interest 7-20-17
    EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER PRINCETON NURSERIES WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS AT THE MAPLETON PRESERVE SOUTH BRUNSWICK TOWNSHIP MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Submitted by: DWV Development LLC 80 Old York Road Ringoes, New Jersey Submission Date: July 20, 2017 PROPOSAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER PRINCETON NURSERIES WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS 1. Introduction DWV Development LLC (“DWV”), on behalf of itself and its affiliates, proposes to redevelop the former Princeton Nurseries Warehouse Buildings (the “Warehouse Buildings”) and surrounding property (the “Premises”) located at 145 Mapleton Road, South Brunswick, New Jersey to create a local agricultural based food, beverage and event hub (the “Mapleton Wine and Food Center”) to attract customers from around the state, as well as the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The Mapleton Wine & Food Center would pay homage to the former Princeton Nurseries by growing a portion of its products in the Mapleton Preserve fields. The agricultural component would be used for consumption by the business on the Premises, as well as for educational and tourism purposes. As set forth herein, DWV proposes to redevelop the Mapleton Wine & Food Center in three phases (the “Project”) to assure that a portion of the redevelopment opens to the public as quickly as possible before the buildings further deteriorate. The Project includes the following: Phase I: • Stabilize and preserve the existing buildings; • Plant the vines for the vineyard; • Plant fruit trees and vegetables; • Open and operate winery; • Sublease warehouse space to Old York Cellars for wine storage; • Open wine bar; and • Open event space for public and private functions. Phase II: • Opening of a farm-to-table restaurant, market, food hall or distillery; • Opening of an onsite Craft Brewery; • Create additional event space for music, comedy and other shows, as well as for educational experiences; • Repurpose portions of the Premises for additional winery warehouse space.
