Morgan Parc
Minneola, NY
This case study features a unique U-shaped luxury apartment building located in the heart of Mineola, known as Morgan Parc. The masonry façades of Morgan Parc draw upon turn-of-the-century mill buildings whose architecture is expressed in their strong deep structural piers and intricate brick detailing. The expansive project utilized over half a million of Glen-Gery’s Charleton Colonial bricks and more than 100,000 special shapes to create the complex details that aid in humanizing a building of such scale. The brick piers extend the full height of the building, opening up at the ground floor to create a retail arcade that wraps the courtyard. Sizeable industrial size window units span between the deep piers, flooding the apartments with natural light.
