As you’ll read in this month’s cover story, the firm known as SILVERMAN is marking its latest milestone in Hamilton Park with a new mixed-use project just off the five-acre green space.

It’s the Silverman brothers’ latest addition to a neighborhood where they’ve built some 500 residential units and 150,000 square feet of commercial space over 35 years, doing so with a highly visible, hands-on style and high level of engagement with their tenants that has fostered an ecosystem where many residents live and work.
