The newly opened Embassy Suites Hotel at Connell Corporate Park in Berkley Heights, NJ, is the center of an expansive rejuvenation project. Plans for the 185-acre site, which rests twenty-two miles west of NYC, include 328 apartments, 85,000-square-feet of retail, and The Grove, a lush, wooded park with pedestrian-friendly trails and amenities.
With the new hotel at the center of an entire expansion project, the right building material was required to match the corporate park’s aesthetic, guarantee long-term durability, and stay on budget and on time.
