Sound Breaker Bars, etc.
Finishing work on 3rd and 4th floor units is moving along very quickly, and if you look closely, you can see the quality of construction methods and materials. Most units on those floors are completely framed-out with stairs installed. Electrical and plumbing work is now in full swing. Check out the sound breaker bars! Effectively […]
Stairs are Installed!!!
Work across the entire project is going well. The 3rd floor is most advanced, with many units now framed out, and spiral stairs installed. Plumbing, electric, sprinklers, and other systems are going in rapidly. Just behind the 3rd floor, is the 4th, with truly dramatic, mostly 2-bedroom units, going in. Very cool!!

July 1 Construction Update
Friday, July 1. The site is quiet today, as a lot of the guys are taking an early break for the long weekend. But they’ve been busy the last couple of weeks. Construction has really accelerated on the 4th floor, and it looks amazing.
Stairs & Roof
Lots happening! First spiral stairs going in! Roof getting solar panel attachment points and insulation. Steel lintels installed in preparation for elevator lobbies. 3rd floor framing moving forward, and 4th floor prep. Wow!
Mayor Jackson Visits
On June 9, Mayor Jackson paid a lightning visit to the Roebling Center site, and toured construction progress on Roebling Lofts. These projects are among the most critical economic development projects in Trenton, and the Mayor pledged his continuing support.

On the north end of the building, masons are building the fire stair well. 3rd floor framing is nearly complete, the roof deck is done. Soon, masonry restoration will start […]
3rd Floor Framing (2016-05-08)
The 3rd floor is the most advanced in the building, with lofts units being framed-out rapidly. While it’s still early, the high ceiling heights and beauty of the i-beams are now evident. The sub-floor-boards will be exposed in the ceilings. Click to enlarge. Photos by Barbara Hatch
Clerestory
The 4th floor of Roebling Lofts will be an extraordinary place to live, as is becoming evident in this construction photo. Most of these units will be two bedroom. The steel trusses will be exposed, and every unit will get light from these clerestory windows, with 16-24′ ceilings.
2016-04-25 Construction Photos
As of late April, the subfloor replacement on floors 2-4 has continued. New, the roof deck is now being installed. Also, on the third floor you can see the first evidence of interior framing: the corridor with entrance doors is now being demised.
