Much like their buildings and projects, Eric and Paul Silverman have been a treasured fixture in the Jersey City community. In 1981, they began with the renovation of a 13-unit apartment building on Sussex Street. In 2009, they welcomed the first residents to Hamilton Square- a 125-unit condominium building, adjacent to a park that they helped renovate, and with a wonderful mix of new retailers that they found and ushered into the neighborhood. In between these years, the Silvermans restored historic landmarks, championed the development of mix-used buildings, and brought creative new retail ventures to Jersey City. Between Hamilton Square, Schroeder Lofts, Park Foundry, The Majestic Condominiums, Padua Court, The Whittier House, Park Hamilton and countless other projects, the Silverman’s positive impact on the revitalization of Jersey City is unquestioned and tremendous.
The Silverman brothers’ work in Jersey City goes far beyond quality construction. Giving back to the community is just as important to Eric and Paul as developing the buildings that house its residents. They are actively involved with several non-profit organizations such as the Hudson County Child Abuse Prevention Center, the Hudson County Community College, Hudson Perinatal Consortium, Art House Productions, Rising Tide Capital, Habitat for Humanity of Hudson County and New City Kids. Additionally, they host events, fundraisers and activities for the entire Jersey City community. Their annual Oktoberfest Parade and Party, Cinco de Mayo Parade and Party, Pumpkin Patch Festival, and the Hamilton Park BBQ Festival all give energy and enthusiasm to the neighborhood.
Eric and Paul Silverman’s values, history and mission are very easily summarized: Building Neighborhoods.
