Approximately mid-to-late 1980s. The heliport was directly associated with the Heyward-Robinson Company. The company's operations at this location ceased during this period, leading to the heliport's closure. It was noted as active in aviation directories from 1982 but is absent from subsequent publications in the early 1990s.
Economic reasons and cessation of the owner's operations. The heliport was a private facility owned and operated by the Heyward-Robinson Company for its exclusive use. When the company vacated the building due to business changes or decline, the heliport was no longer needed and was permanently closed.
The site is the rooftop of the commercial building at 19-35 Outwater Lane, Garfield, New Jersey. The building has been repurposed and is now a multi-tenant facility, with a large Extra Space Storage being a prominent occupant. Satellite imagery shows the rooftop is now covered with modern HVAC equipment and other building infrastructure, with no remaining markings or facilities of the former heliport.
The facility was officially known as the Heyward-Robinson Co Heliport (FAA LID: 2NJ9). The identifier US-10652 is a non-official code used by some third-party databases. It served as the private rooftop heliport for the Heyward-Robinson Company, an international engineering and construction firm, at their headquarters. Its primary operation was executive transport, providing rapid travel for company officials between the Garfield headquarters, major airports like Newark (EWR) and Teterboro (TEB), and business destinations in the New York City metropolitan area.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The original corporate owner that required it is no longer at the location, and the building's current use as a multi-tenant commercial property does not support the need for a private heliport. The significant costs, liability, and logistical challenges make a reopening highly improbable.
