ERSEY CITY, NJ — Poskanzer Skott Ar- chitects’ (Poskanzer Skott) design for Embank- ment House enhances the architectural diversity that defines Jersey City’s Hamilton Park. Situated on an old rail- road embankment that fronts 10th St., the 163-unit mul- tifamily development’s new construction complements the neighborhood while preserv- ing a bit of local history. “The Embankment House blends seamlessly with Hamil- ton Park’s wonderfully eclectic mix of low-rise apartments, new mid-rise offices and clas- sic industrial buildings,” said Barry Poskanzer, AIA , a partner in the Ridgewood, NJ based firm. The seven-story structure – with its distinctive brick exterior and oversized win- dows – projects the look of a retrofit of a historic warehouse or manufacturing facility.
