Working for Reynolds Asset Management, DMR completed the construction documents for a 140,000 SF, 103-unit apartment building in an area of Orange, NJ known as the Valley Arts District.
The building is a nod to the surrounding arts community, which is home to artist’s studios, galleries, the Luna Stage theatre and many other cultural attractions. Many elements of the building draw inspiration from the arts, including a mural in the lobby by local artist Dan Fenelon, designed to reflect the harmony felt at home. Artwork also includes a nod to the former Orange Valley Hardware, which previously occupied the building site at 606 Freeman Ave. A photograph titled “The OG Mural,” photographed by George Kopp, captures the mural that was once part of the original neighborhood store.
The Mural, located in the area surrouding the Highland Avenue train station, is comprised of eight studio, 59 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom apartments with covered parking. Amenities include a rooftop lounge and grill areas, a high-end fitness facility and a business center.
