The feature highlights leading firms shaping the future of New Jersey development—with a special spotlight on our team, our clients, and the projects that define our work.
For us, this recognition isn’t just about design. It’s about the outcomes we help our clients achieve—through smart planning, adaptive thinking, and deep alignment with development economics. We’ve always believed that architecture should do more than look good on paper. It should move projects forward, simplify approvals, control costs, and contribute meaningfully to long-term returns.
The article highlights one of our most involved and rewarding projects: TODD West Redevelopment in downtown Plainfield. Originally designed pre-COVID as a 357-unit, four-building mixed-use development with 11-story towers and rooftop restaurants, the project faced shifting economic realities—construction inflation, supply chain delays, and rising interest rates.
Instead of stalling, we reworked the vision. Two of the towers were redesigned as six-story wood-frame buildings over podiums, reducing costs and opening doors to lender support. The result: a revised, phased plan for 282 units. One building is complete, another is under construction, and two more are set to break ground in the coming year.
This project is a case study in what we do best—helping developers navigate challenges while preserving value and momentum.
As RE-NJ notes, we serve a range of developers—from large institutional firms to smaller, entrepreneurial investors—across two primary sectors: multifamily and industrial. Every project we take on is designed to meet zoning, code, and market demands. But more than that, we act as strategic partners, offering real estate insight alongside architectural expertise. That means tighter budgets, faster approvals, and better-performing projects.
As industrial markets evolve with the rise of AI-specific data centers and high-load warehouses, and as housing needs continue to push mixed-use development forward, we’re excited to keep supporting our clients with designs that are as practical as they are visionary.
Thank you to RE-NJ for the recognition—and to the developers who’ve trusted us to bring their projects to life. We’re proud of the work, and even prouder of the relationships behind it.
