Thoughtful collaboration between architect and developer gives all 10,000 homes in Liberty Harbor in Jersey City the grace of an old-world community, but with 21st century amenities and technology.
Jersey City, NJ (PRWEB) November 15, 2008 -- In "Two Projects Claim Street Savvy," reporter Antoinette Martin describes for the New York Times how careful planning at Liberty Harbor yielded a "friendly" community "with human scale and built-in sociability, where the streets are pleasant and entertaining to walk."
Liberty Harbor's developer Peter Mocco and Princeton architect Mario Gandelsonas studied the streets of Boston and old European cities, looking for the best ways to incorporate both charm and convenience in these homes in Jersey City. The ensuing success hinges on intelligent street design.
Some of Mocco's and Gandelsonas's ideas are grand in scale. The main boulevard, running from Grand Street to a new PATH train stop, has a reverse "S" curve and extra-wide granite sidewalks. This street, Liberty View Drive, maximizes the view of the Statue of Liberty. Ground level shops entice pedestrians. Small, nestled gardens offer color in every season.
Some of their ideas are luxurious details, such as the distinctive "LH" logo engraved in the streetlamps, pediments and front stoops of these homes in Jersey City. Indoors and outdoors, the entire property is wireless-enabled, offering comfort, convenience and security.
Liberty Harbor in Jersey City, New Jersey, offers 28 blocks of apartments and condominiums combining design-conscious comfort and world-class technological expertise. Apartments, townhouses and condominiums include digital entertainment, high-speed internet and on-demand smart home features. Easily accessible from New York City via PATH or the Liberty Harbor Ferry, Liberty Harbor boasts over 2500 feet of waterfront on the Hudson Bay and proximity to Paulus Hook and Van Vorst parks.
