By HQW Staff
Wednesday, December 30th, 2015

Newton, New Jersey
Area: 55,000 sq. ft.

Using hand chiseled stone, brick, and detailed fenestration; The Aberlour stands apart from typical multi-family housing familiar today. The Aberlour is an important part of the renaissance of downtown Newton and provides a visual beginning to the downtown district.
