projects throughout New Jer- sey, these two buildings will serve as a shining examples of the world-class work that our team produces.” The project, which is being developed by Fields Develop- ment Group , was designed by architectural firm Marchetto Higgins Stieve .

Cope Linder earned the com- mission in part by presenting a master planning strategy that fosters community engage- ment.
