The PEARL waterfront residential property in Edgewater, New Jersey
Road trips are always fun, but boat trips take it up a notch in the fun department. What better way to celebrate a beautiful almost-spring evening by taking a quick ferry jaunt with friends to New Jersey to view gorgeously-appointed apartments by interior designers and all with incredible views of New York City? Leading New York City and New Jersey interior designers and architects were invited to transform seven newly renovated apartment units, all with superb waterfront views. In only nine short weeks, these loft residences in the historic PEARL were turned into luxury living quarters, and all to benefit the advancement of the fight to end Alzheimer's. The property was originally designed as Unilever’s research and development world headquarters in 1953 by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.

Robert Passal (Design Chair) and Steve Mandel
The Showhouse was sponsored by National Resources and ASPIRE Metro Magazine with renowned interior designer Robert Passal acting as the Showhouse Chair. Friend Lisa McMahon worked her magic to help pull all the festivities and public relations together. Signature cocktails were served at the gala, and, with celebrity chef Danielle Saunders serving up delicious nibbles, we all enjoyed a fabulous evening. A round of applause for the team effort bringing this Showhouse to fruition!
