For over 40 years, MHS has been offering developers a full range of architecture, planning, and urban design services for 4 to 40+ story mixed-use residential developments.
MHS has an extraordinary record of completed projects including individual townhouses, multifamily infill developments, high-rise towers, mixed-use urban developments, and town centers. Each building or plan has shown a consistency for inventive contextually sensitive solutions based on a broad knowledge of the development process that can only come from experience.
MHS’s unique skill sets are exemplified with challenging sites and transit-oriented developments. Mixed-use towers are designed to fit into their context and engage the street, energizing the pedestrian experience.
MHS has shown a consistency for inventive contextual solutions with a focus on proximity to public transport, and respect for local culture and context.
MHS Architects in association with A. Nelessen Associates developed this comprehensive Redevelopment Plan that sets forth the terms and conditions under which the 244-acre Journal Square area may be developed. This is a form-based code that defines the building massing, and the character of the spaces between the buildings, and it describes the future vision for Jersey City’s historic downtown. The Journal Square Redevelopment Plan is characterized by transit and pedestrian oriented, sustainable development that exceeds Smart Growth Standards and promotes large scale development that will have a long term positive fiscal impact on the city. The redevelopment seeks to create the opportunity for more people to live, work, shop, and play in the downtown area.
