Architecture services

Commercial architecture,
from feasibility to closeout

We design multifamily, mixed-use, senior, and commercial buildings for professional developers, sponsors, and owners, and we stay with the project from the first site test fit through construction.

Multifamily and mixed-use

Multifamily

We design rental and for-sale housing that maximizes unit yield and efficiency while meeting zoning, code, and market expectations.

From garden apartments and townhouse communities to podium mid-rise and mixed-use buildings with ground floor retail, our layouts are tuned for constructability and long-term operation.

Senior, affordable, and special needs

Senior and affordable

Decades of senior, affordable, and supportive housing designed to the standards of HUD, NJHMFA, and tax credit programs.

We have delivered dozens of HUD Section 202 and 811 projects, NJHMFA financed communities, and special needs housing for nonprofit and faith-based sponsors.

Commercial

We design commercial buildings that work for owners, tenants, and operators, from corporate headquarters to hotels and medical office.

Our commercial work includes a 173,000 SF corporate headquarters, a brand-standard Hilton Garden Inn, medical and behavioral health offices, and warehouse and flex buildings.

Specialty services

When a project needs more than a drawing set.

Feasibility and yield studies

Test fits, unit counts, and massing studies that tell you what a site can support before you buy it.

Zoning and approvals

Zoning analysis, redevelopment plans, and testimony before planning and zoning boards.

Agency submissions

Drawings and documentation for HUD, NJHMFA, and LIHTC funded projects through every review.

Adaptive reuse

Conversions of hotels, warehouses, schools, and historic buildings into housing and new uses.

Rehabilitation and RAD

Occupied renovations and repositioning of existing housing communities, including RAD conversions.

Modular construction

Buildings designed for modular and panelized systems, coordinated with the manufacturer from the start.

Code consulting

IBC and Uniform Construction Code analysis, including rehabilitation subcode paths for existing buildings.

Construction administration

RFI review and responses, submittal and shop drawing review, and onsite field visits with observation reports through completion.
