OUR ADVANTAGE

ON THE HORIZON
Mixed-use and “downtown” development encourages the social and environmental connection found in healthy and active lifestyles. Key ingredients for placemaking of new urban and suburban centers include walkable streets, access to public transportation, open greenspace, flexible amenities and sustainable housing and food options. New mixed-use projects including the conversion of existing office and retail centers, parking lots and underutilized land parcels allow for the design and placemaking of new communities with strong social networks. MINNO & WASKO continues to offer creative planning and design services throughout the New Jersey market as well as north and east of the New York City in Westchester County, NY; Fairfield County, CT; Nassau County, NY; and along the Amtrak Corridor.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
MINNO & WASKO is proud to have provided master planning, conceptual and complete architectural services for THE DISTRICT, a new mixed-use development within THE PARK, an existing 185-acre office campus in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, along Interstate 78. “Taking cues from collegiate and West Coast-based tech campuses, amenities and services, THE PARK is a newly imagined sustainable community that delivers spaces designed for inspiration.” THE DISTRICT will be comprised of five new mixed-use buildings and a new garage structure providing 328 luxury residential apartment units offering sustainable lifestyle living opportunities as well as new dining, entertainment, event and wellness-type retail. Walkability, open park space, recreation, employment and co-working opportunities, food and beverage make THE DISTRICT a highly desirable place to live, work and play.
