Nearby highways, bus transportation, commuter rail lines and employment opportunities make the area perfect for development, and no one else is building the kind of high- end housing units that Mack- Cali Realty Corp . of Edison, New Jersey, is constructing, Ivan M. Baron, the company’s chief legal officer said Wednesday. “We’re providing a niche that we think we can fill,” Mr. Baron said.
