As planners, architects, and placemakers we strive to integrate the goals of policy makers, our clients, and the community they serve. Recently the Jersey City Planning Board unanimously approved our proposal for Steel Tech City, a comprehensive vision for a former steel manufacturing site centrally located in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood. A community engagement process yielded a plan consisting of a 22,000 sf recreation facility, a 14,000 sf market hall, programmable open space, and a mixed-use development including market rate and affordable housing options. A new pedestrian mews which extends from one end of the site to the other provides a linkage between two existing community parks and provides access to almost an acre of open space which will be activated by cafes, music performances, holiday markets, fitness classes, and community sponsored art and cultural events.

MHS Architecture thanks @SkyLine Development Group for the opportunity to be at the forefront of projects which promote connectivity and inclusivity, while balancing the economic goals of the development team. We believe that achieving this harmony has the power to foster lasting social equity and positive urban change.

A true example of smart growth, these two towers embody 212 residential units, a compact parking garage, a school and retail at street level. The building also totes a LEED Gold certification. The creative, automated parking garage accommodates six levels of parking in a 3-story podium. Above the garage between the towers is a recreation deck. A green roof retains and diverts storm water away from the sewer systems. A composition of black and white brick and large windows create an exciting, modern look. The developer, Bijou Properties, and the city created Garden Street Mews, the first pedestrian plaza in Hoboken by closing the street to vehicles. It is used for a farmer’s market, art shows, and other community events. This unique structure exemplifies a transit-oriented development. WINNER of the 2017 ULI Northern NJ Mixed-Use Project of the Year Award.

88 Regent Street is located on the northern edge of the Liberty Harbor North Redevelopment Area. 88 Regent Street holds a prominent position on the Jersey City skyline and creates an iconic entry into the neighborhood as a signature 32-story tower. This mixed-use multifamily maximizes views of Lower Manhattan by creating setbacks on the upper levels giving each unit a window facing the World Trade Center. The 12-story base matches the height of the adjacent buildings and then the amenity floor sets back to reveal a clear distinction between base and tower.

With incredible views, 88 Regent Street provides an iconic identity for the neighborhood and has become the most desirable place to live in Liberty Harbor North.

Nine on the Hudson is a 278-unit luxury condominium multifamily that derives its form from its location at the edge of the Hudson River. The saw-tooth V-form plan is designed to maximize direct views to Manhattan from all of the interior units. The south wing steps down to the river at a precise angle to allow sunlight to the pool deck and provides expansive green terraces with unparalleled Manhattan views.  Nine On the Hudson's distinctive architectural form playfully communicates with BIG’s VIA and Enrique Norten’s Mercedes House on Manhattan’s west side symbolically connecting Nine on the Hudson with its neighbors across the street, or in this case the river.

Gulls Cove is the first high-rise transit-oriented structure completed in the highly acclaimed “New Urban” community of Liberty Harbor North and is immediately adjacent to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stop in Jersey City. Modern metal cornices define the 430 residential units and 400 parking spaces are uniquely concealed within the structure. A rich stone base delineates the lower level of Gulls Cove’s 18,000 square foot retail space which embraces shops and restaurants.

MHS Architecture’s project at 80 Journal Square received The Jersey Planning Board’s approval. This 28-story skyscraper will be built next to Loew’s Theater in Journal Square at the site of the CH Martin store. This mixed-use building will deliver 400 units with 40 units being allocated as affordable. There would be 3,000 sf for ground floor retail, 17,730 sf of office space, and 13,825 sf of indoor amenities.⁠
⁠
The serrated exterior glass façade of the residential tower lifts to the third floor revealing the building's transparent commercial base, like a stage curtain. The base is set back 50 feet from the curb to create a magnificent outdoor plaza designed with a café to augment the theatergoers’ experience at the Loews. ⁠
⁠
Some of the commissioner's comments include:⁠
⁠
“What an incredible design and project. Loved the design. For sure, it’s a transformation, a great addition to Jersey City. The variances are justifiable. What a great job. I vote aye,” ⁠
⁠
“It’s an amazing project. I hope that it gets built soon. I’m proud to see that type of building go up in Journal Square,”⁠
⁠
“I have lived in the Journal Square area for more than 40 years. It looks fantastic. India Square is going to get the arches, and this area will look so well. I’m going to vote aye,” ⁠
⁠
“Great design. I think that public plaza is going to be a great addition. I certainly appreciate the affordable housing and the lack of PTAC units. I happily vote aye,” ⁠
⁠
The project was ultimately approved unanimously (5-0).⁠

There has been much anticipation for these two high-designed 15-story buildings situated between Sussex and Morris streets on Van Vorst Street in Jersey City. Located within one or two blocks are the Marin Boulevard Light Rail Station and the Liberty Harbor Ferry Terminal, Lenox and [Quinn](https://www.mhsarchitecture.com/project/quinn) are efficient, transit-oriented multifamily buildings providing direct access to New York City.

Offering views of lower Manhattan, the modest and polished architecture presents separate buildings which are connected by a well thought out pedestrian plaza incorporating amphitheater seating and plenty of trees for shade.  By enhancing these multifamily buildings with automated parking, charging stations, bike storage, clubroom, fitness center, dog run and sundecks residents can live, work, and play. Was it mentioned there is also a roof deck kitchen and pool offering stunning New York City views?

MHS Architecture is thoroughly acquainted with this neighborhood. In fact, MHS are land planners for the Liberty Harbor North Redevelopment Plan which includes Gulls Cove, The Liberty Point Condominium, and the stunning Madox building.  Neighbors and developers have been, and are still, optimistic that these transforming developments with high-end architecture will attract even more empty nesters, urbanites, and Manhattan’s millennials alike.
