Graphic Scanning Corporation Heliport

Economic reasons. The heliport was a private corporate asset. Its closure was a direct consequence of the financial collapse and subsequent bankruptcy of the Graphic Scanning Corporation. As the company faced massive debt and legal issues, non-essential, high-cost assets like a private heliport were eliminated.

The heliport is permanently closed and defunct. The site is the rooftop of the large commercial building at 329 Alfred Avenue in Englewood, New Jersey. This building now serves as a multi-tenant commercial property and a major data center hub, housing facilities for companies like Cyxtera. While the physical landing pad with faint 'H' markings may still be visible on the roof in satellite imagery, it is not maintained or used for any aviation purposes.

The Graphic Scanning Corporation Heliport (FAA Identifier: 8NJ3) was a private rooftop heliport serving the headquarters of its namesake company, a prominent telecommunications firm in the 1970s and 1980s. In its heyday, the heliport was a symbol of corporate success, used for executive transport to and from New York City and regional airports, bypassing ground traffic. Its operation was typical for high-flying tech companies of that era. The heliport's history is intrinsically linked to the dramatic rise and fall of the Graphic Scanning Corporation itself. The ICAO code 'US-10801' is a non-standard identifier used by some third-party databases; its official US identifier was 8NJ3.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The original owner no longer exists in its original form, and the building now has multiple tenants with no apparent need for private helicopter access. The significant regulatory hurdles, high costs of recertification and maintenance, and liability concerns make the prospect of reopening extremely unlikely.
