LeFrak Rides Wave of Waterfront DevelopmentDemand grows for shorefront homes, but post-Sandy building rules present hurdles
Dec. 15, 2015 6:03 p.m. ET Over three decades, the LeFrak family has moved mountains of dirt to transform a 300-acre derelict rail yard on New Jersey’s Hudson River waterfront into a sprawling waterfront community of apartment towers, stores and office buildings.

LeFrak, which just broke ground on the 43-story rental apartment project, hopes demand will be strong for the units, which will have water views in three directions.

Federal regulations passed after Sandy required LeFrak to push the first floor of the building up to about 13 feet from roughly 10.6 feet, according to Jamie LeFrak, principal and vice chairman of his family company.
