CDG’s design for The Raye transforms the historic site of New Brunswick’s former Sears into a vibrant, mixed-use destination that reflects the city’s evolving identity. With 531 thoughtfully designed rental units, 168 modern townhomes, and over 20,000 square feet of retail, the development weaves urban convenience with neighborhood charm. The architectural approach celebrates the site’s retail legacy while embracing a walkable, community-forward lifestyle.
Design choices—from varied unit layouts with dens to an amenity-rich clubhouse—were driven by an understanding of local demand and cultural character. Just steps from transit, universities, and the city’s cultural core, The Raye is positioned not just as a place to live, but as a compelling brand within the regional market.
