BRS is currently working with JCRA and the City of Jersey City on the development of sustainable design guidelines for the Bayfront I Redevelopment Area.

How does an abandoned or not actively functioning site affect the well-being of the surrounding neighborhoods? Can it serve a new purpose?

These are the questions that adaptive reuse planning seeks to answer. Read More
