The Silverman way: Developer’s latest project in Jersey City follows decades of engagement with residents, commercial tenants to help build Hamilton Park ‘ecosystem’

On the ground
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. Known as Swift & Co., the nine-story building houses 59 apartments and 80,000 square feet of commercial space that’s now fully leased to a mix of office and retail users, plus an upscale, 20,000-square-foot coworking lounge that’s home to dozens of other entrepreneurs and much-needed event space for the community. 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.
