Synopsis:

The Garden Street Lofts in Hoboken, New Jersey, has a lot going for it. This major adaptive reuse project of an old storage warehouse and factory is now the first mixed-use residential high-rise in New Jersey. It also was just recently awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The developer, Larry Bijou of Bijou Properties, is looking at other adaptive reuse projects he’d like to initiate in the city including turning a three-story parking garage into a three-in-one mixed use residential, retail and education facility.
