From Journal Square to Paulus Hook, New Jersey’s Gold Coast is lined with stunning pre-war buildings that speak to a bygone era of craftsmanship, character and architectural grandeur. High ceilings, intricate moldings, brick facades and hand-laid parquet floors give these properties a timeless appeal, especially for developers and residents who value authenticity over uniformity. But restoring and reimagining these buildings for modern use — particularly in a way that makes them fully accessible — is one of the biggest challenges construction teams face today.
