Hillside Square

Located at 8 Hillside Avenue, Montclair NJ is one of our latest “green” commercial project.

Construction began in April 2011 and completion was in April 2012. The graceful First Church of Christ Scientist building with unique history and 1926 architectural components will be transformed, allowing the congregation to remain in renovated quarters, alongside new office suites available to the business community.

Every phase of the project, in architectural design and construction, is guided by green building guidelines to attain LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
