FAIR LAWN — Two restaurants will open their first Bergen County locations at a development under construction on Route 208.

Habit Burger, a California burger chain, will open its first New Jersey location at the Fair Lawn Promenade, and Noodles & Company, a Colorado fast-casual chain will open its first Bergen County restaurant, Scott Loventhal, director of development of Garden Homes, said.

Garden Homes is the developer of the mixed-use project. The Promenade will include 65,000 square feet of retail and office space in three buildings and 150 residential units in two other buildings.

TKL Research, a clinical research organization based in Rochelle Park, will be the first tenant to open in March, Loventhal said. TKL plans to open a new 25,000 square-foot clinic along Route 208.

Aside from Habit Burger, Noodles and TKL, tenants will include Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, Qdoba, Starbucks, Verizon Wireless, Massage Envy, European Wax and Cups Frozen Yogurt, as well as dentist's office and three other office tenants, Loventhal said.

"It's a nice mix of service and restaurants and office, which we think will be a complement to the residential," he said.

Loventhal hopes to have the first residents move into the luxury apartments in April. Rents start at $1,900 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, plus utilities.

The project should be fully occupied by the end of 2014, he said.

Residents and visitors can access the Promenade from Route 208 northbound and Pollitt Drive. The project is about a 15-minute walk from the Radburn NJ Transit train station.

Construction started in 2012 and should be complete by the end of 2014, Loventhal said. The site was formerly home to an Eastman Kodak processing facility.

"We had a really nice collaborative effort with the officials in Fair Lawn to create a great ratable for the town," Loventhal said.
