$60M Amtrak Condemnation Settlement
Amtrak v. Weehawken Property Owner
A Weehawken waterfront parcel was sold to Amtrak for $60 million after an eminent domain settlement secured by Carlin, Ward, Ash & Heiart. The result represents one of the largest condemnation settlements in New Jersey history and reflects the firm's ability to negotiate maximum just compensation for property owners facing government acquisition.
The property was targeted by Amtrak for infrastructure expansion along the Hudson River corridor. CWAH attorneys marshalled appraisal evidence and expert testimony to demonstrate the full development potential of the waterfront site, ultimately driving the settlement to a record figure.
