07 Oct Modera Lofts Best in America Living Award
Modera Lofts in Jersey City, NJ has received a lot of press for it’s display of mixing the old with the new, including it’s most recent award: Modera Lofts was awarded the National Association of Home Builders Best in American Living™ Award for an adaptive reuse project.
“As we walked through the recently finished building a few weeks ago, it was clear that Mill Creek didn’t just restore the building. Instead, they took it a step further, preserving many of the items found from its days as a distribution hub for Butler Bros. In an effort to connect its past with its future, these items have been restored and are used decoratively throughout the building.
Century old fire doors were stripped of layers of paint and placed around the building’s common spaces. Brass elevator gears with 100 years of dirt and grime were cleaned and now grace the second-floor lounge. Several old documents including receipts and letters were framed and hang in the cavernous first-floor common space.” – Jersey Digs
