LCOR has opened a “280-degree immersive room” created by immersive experience studio Pixel Artworks to market the forthcoming Hoboken Connect mixed-use development in Hoboken, New Jersey. The project, designed by FXCollaborative, plans to feature a residential tower and an office building, along with new public space across a nearly 2-acre footprint near the Hoboken Terminal.
Hoboken Connect is a multi-phase project that is being developed in partnership with NJ Transit and the City of Hoboken. It aims to create a transit-oriented development, and the immersive room provides a low-carbon way for people to visualize and experience the buildings and campus.
The first phase will consist of a 27-story residential building designed by SLCE Architects. It will yield 386 units with 20 percent dedicated to affordable housing. Building amenities will include a fitness center, a pool, and coworking spaces.
The next phase will consist of a 21-story office building with 704,000 square feet of Class A office space, along with a number of amenities, including outdoor loggias and a conference facility.
The new immersive room is the first of its kind in real estate marketing. It features a surrounding projection and a 65-inch 4K OLED screen, allowing visitors to virtually experience the 21-story office tower being developed on the campus before it is completed. Pixel Artworks also designed a video animation for the space that showcases Hoboken’s past, present, and future.
“The way spaces are designed, lived in, and experienced are constantly evolving, and in turn, the way we articulate the vision of those spaces needs to change alongside it,” said Lo Romero, vice president at LCOR. “We partnered with Pixel to show exactly what the master planned development will be, and the final product is incredible. Hoboken Connect is a once-in-a-lifetime project and it deserved a once-in-a-lifetime marketing experience.”
