Interior design in Howell, NJ: where the Route 9 corridor grows next
About HH Designers and our work in Howell
Howell sits on the receiving end of one of New Jersey’s strongest growth stories. As Lakewood has grown into a regional center, its commercial energy has moved straight up Route 9 and across the township line — shopping anchors like the Gourmet Glatt center, services, medical offices, and now Class A workplaces. HH Designers works exactly at that seam: our studio is 25 minutes south in Toms River, and the corridor between is home turf.
Our anchor in the township is The Edge at 6950 U.S. Route 9: a four-story, 26,200 square foot Class A office building on the Lakewood–Howell border that we shaped from a hand sketch on paper to the folded charcoal-and-copper landmark standing on the corridor today. It is the argument, in built form, for what Howell’s next decade of commercial development can look like.
Where Lakewood’s growth meets Monmouth County
Howell’s advantage is position. It has the Route 9 frontage and the developable land that the corridor’s growth needs, inside Monmouth County with quick reach to Freehold, the shore towns, and I-195. For developers, that means ground-up opportunity minutes from a proven customer base; for businesses, it means an address the whole region already drives past. Design is what turns that traffic into recognition — on a corridor this busy, the building is the billboard.
Talk this through with the studio — no pressure, straight answers.
What we design in Howell
Office and workplace. Ground-up buildings and tenant build-outs, from office building design to corporate interiors, planned for daylight, flexibility, and the first impression that wins a lease.
Retail and commercial. Storefronts, showrooms, and shopping-center tenants that hold their own next to the corridor’s anchors.
Healthcare and community. The medical offices, wellness facilities, shuls, and schools a fast-growing population needs — sectors where HH has some of the deepest portfolios in the state, from Lakewood across Monmouth and Ocean County.
One voice, sketch to install
Corridor projects go wrong at the seams — an exterior by one hand, interiors by another, signage by a third. We carry one design voice through massing, facade, arrival, interiors, and the final install, so the building a driver notices is the same building a visitor experiences at the door. That is how The Edge was delivered, and it is how we work everywhere.

Frequently asked
questions.
Does HH Designers have work in Howell, NJ?
Yes. The Edge at 6950 U.S. Route 9 — a four-story, 26,200 square foot Class A office building on the Lakewood border, completed in 2026 — is an HH Designers building from first hand sketch to final form. It anchors our work on the Route 9 corridor.
What types of projects does HH Designers take on in Howell?
Office buildings and workplaces, retail and shopping-center tenants, healthcare and wellness facilities, and community institutions. The studio handles exterior architecture direction and interiors as one scope, which suits Howell’s ground-up corridor development.
Why is Howell becoming a commercial market?
Lakewood — one of the fastest-growing municipalities in New Jersey — has pushed its retail, services, and office demand across the border along Route 9. Howell offers the corridor frontage, the parking, and the land that growth needs, with Monmouth County access to the whole shore region.
How do we start a project in Howell with HH Designers?
A conversation. Tell us the site, the program, and the goal, and we bring relevant built work, a clear process, and straight answers on budget and timeline. The studio is 25 minutes away in Toms River, so site visits are same-week, not same-quarter.
