Featured Projects

5 World Trade Center

New York, NY Mixed-Use

At 900 feet, 5 World Trade Center brings residential life back into the World Trade Center campus through a mixed-use tower that joins housing, office space, retail, community facilities, and public amenities in a single vertical address. As the only residential project within the broader redevelopment, it extends the district’s program beyond commerce and memorial space, adding a substantial new housing component to Lower Manhattan.<br /> <br /> Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the tower rises with a façade of glass and masonry and organizes its residential floors as a series of vertical neighborhoods shaped around shared amenities. Alongside market-rate housing, the project includes a significant affordable component, with units set aside for low- and moderate-income residents, as well as 9/11 survivors and first responders, bringing a broader civic purpose to one of the city’s most symbolically charged sites.<br />

West End Mall

Atlanta, GA Mixed-Use

In Atlanta’s historic West End, a twelve-acre superblock is being reworked as a mixed-use district with housing, retail, hospitality, and medical space gathered around transit access and neighborhood life. The project brings more than 800 mixed-income residences, student housing, a hotel, and necessity-based retail to a part of the city shaped by strong institutional presence and long-standing disinvestment.<br /> <br /> Set near a MARTA station and four HBCUs, the development addresses housing demand while strengthening connectivity and economic activity in the neighborhood. Led by BRP Companies, The Prusik Group, and Dabar Development Partners, the project treats scale as civic opportunity, with a program designed to support long-term value for both the community and its investors.<br />

1921 Atlantic Avenue

Brooklyn, NY Mixed-Use

At the corner of Atlantic Avenue between Prescott Place and Bancroft Place, a fifteen-story building settles into the rhythm of Bed-Stuy with muted brick, clean massing, and a measured presence on the block. The project brings 236 residences, retail, and community infrastructure to a corridor shaped by transition, with shared spaces including a rooftop terrace, fitness center, and a south-facing garden.

National Urban League Headquarters

New York, NY Mixed-Use

Home to NYC’s first civil rights museum and the National Urban League HQ, this 17-story building combines civic, cultural, commercial, and residential life in a single address. Set between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and Lenox Avenue, the building joins 125th Street’s financial, cultural, and retail activity with a measured architectural presence and a clear internal order.<br /> <br /> The mixed-use development features major retail, Class A office space, a conference center, event space, and 171 affordable apartments. The office block opens onto the avenue with a balcony above the street, while the residential portion is set back with its own entry on 126th Street, creating a quieter threshold within one of Harlem’s busiest corridors.
