The Hudson County Correctional Facility project, completed by TAK in 2006, added a new medium-security 6-story, 110,000sf dormitory building connected to the existing Kearny facility to house 512 new inmates. The building includes a new kitchen facility to service the overall 2,000 inmate population. The post-tensioned concrete structure with a 30year Hyperlast IRMA roof (inverted roofing membrane assembly) includes state-of-the-art security and communications systems. The inmate floors include two bunk and living areas with a common outdoor recreation area.
Completed in early 2000 and located in the heart of Union City, New Jersey, the Manhattan View Nursing Facility houses 110 patients and a day care center for the elderly. The building is five-stories above grade with a partial basement and includes state-of-the-art care technology and equipment.
The construction included extensive blasting of rock and shoring of major thoroughfares into the Lincoln Tunnel. The building is structural steel framing with EPDM roof and an exterior EIFS wall finish system. TAK overcame the constraints of the site’s location and coordinated daily with material suppliers and subcontractors to accommodate work in this confined space.
TAK successfully completed construction on this 117,100 sf adult residence and care facility in Toms River, New Jersey in 1999. The facility consists of a community center and six residential wings each housing twenty-eight living units. The building construction is structural steel framing with composite floor deck. The centralized community center features a two-story high meeting room with rows of windows just below the pre-engineered roof truss level to allow for a very aesthetically pleasing and open atmosphere.
Construction Features
The community center features a large meeting room with dance floor, two separate dining rooms with a full service kitchen, a library with sun room, a beauty salon, arts and crafts room, general store, TV room, gardens, administrative and medical offices and support and storage areas. The six, two-story residential wings each include twenty eight units and surround the community center.
Electrical and mechanical installations included a nurse’s call communication system, card access system, telephone access system, fire alarm and sprinkler systems, emergency generator, time clock for exterior, HVAC system, packaged terminal AC units, hot water heaters and storage tank, and surveillance equipment. The exterior is a combination of vinyl siding, brick and stucco finishes. The lot required major site work including two retention basins, a retaining wall and extensive landscaping.
This community project produced a new state-of-the-art adult residence facility while maintaining its aesthetically pleasing and open atmosphere for all to enjoy!
TAK recently completed construction on this 124 unit assisted living community and adult day care facility in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The facility consists of a central core building and two residential wings. The central 2-story building houses the community and amenities areas combined with 42 residence units and partial basement. The 2-story south wing houses 56 living units and is attached to the center building by an elaborate greenhouse. The 2-story north wing, also connected to the center building, houses 10 living units and 16 Alzheimer living units with services area.
The centralized multi-purpose room features a two-story high meeting room accented with skylights for a very aesthetically pleasing and open atmosphere. The amenities feature a full-service kitchen, a salon, library, mail center, store, exercise rooms, laundry and greenhouse. The facility features state-of-the-art technology including a wireless nurse-call and monitoring system, and self-controlled heating and air conditioning units in each apartment.
Overcoming Site Constraints
Bordered by wetlands to the north and existing residential communities to the west and south, TAK overcame the constraints of the site’s restricting size and confined location. TAK established critical relationships with the state and township inspectors as well as community residents to ensure smooth, steady construction progress!
Royal Independence One awarded TAK this six-story, 50,000 sf Comfort Suites Hotel during the design phase of the project. With only conceptual design drawings in hand, TAK began construction and coordinated closely with the architect to start and continue construction concurrent with development of final design. The construction for this six-story structure with penthouse included structural steel framing and concrete plank floor construction. The building features an exterior EIFS wall finish system, EPDM roof, under building parking and detailed landscaping.
Overcoming Site Constraints
TAK also overcame the constraints of the site’s restricting size and confined location. Located on busy Route 1 in Woodbridge, New Jersey with an industrial complex behind, the restricted staging area required careful scheduling of deliveries. TAK coordinated daily with material suppliers and subcontractors to accommodate work in this confined space.
Construction Concurrent with Design
With construction occurring concurrently with final design, TAK coordinated very closely with the architect and client for submittal approvals on long lead items such as the two elevators, fire alarm system components and HVAC equipment. This allowed enough time for fabrication and delivery of these items which kept TAK on schedule!
TAK successfully completed this 5-story, 98 room Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites located on a 1.9 acre site in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The construction included extensive pile foundations, structural steel framing, EIFS exterior and a wood truss roof.
The hotel features standard rooms to king suites with jacuzzi rooms. It also features a heated pool, state-of-the art technology for business and computer use in the meeting and board rooms, an inviting continental breakfast area, and a double-elevator lobby.
TAK successfully completed construction on this four-story hotel located in the suburbs of Bridgewater, NJ in the new “Bridgewater Promonade”. The hotel frame is a concrete masonry bearing wall structure and precast concrete planks with a steel-framed one-story pavilion. The building features an exterior EIFS wall finish system.
The hotel includes 129 attractive comfortable rooms with dataports, hospitality centers with microfridge and coffee makers, and some with complete kitchens.

In 2005, TAK completed this 122 suite, 8-story Homewood Suites Hotel situated on the western banks of the Hudson River at The Promenade in Edgewater, New Jersey, overlooking Manhattan. Construction consisted of a Hambro structural floor and wall panel system with EIFS and brick façade. All suites and the business center were wired for high-speed and wireless internet access, two phones with data ports. EMPIRE suites on all upper floors include whirlpool tubs and a fully-equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator, range top, microwave, dishwasher, and coffeemaker. Amenities included an exercise room, Jacuzzi and sauna rooms, fully-equipped business center, dining area with fireplace and fully-functioning kitchen.
TAK was awarded two separate school contracts in Livingston, New Jersey in 2001 by the Livingston Board of Education. The $6.3 Million Mt. Pleasant School (shown above) and $7.0 Million 3-Story Heritage Middle School (shown below) were constructed simultaneously and successfully completed for school opening in September 2002.
The Heritage Middle School was featured in the annual publication “Learning by Design 2003” in the “A Lesson in Excellence” category.
