Your Custom Home Starts With the Right Property

In Short Hills, empty lots are a rarity. The path to new construction often begins with a teardown (an older home ready to be reimagined). That’s the reality across many of Northern New Jersey’s Essex, Union and Morris County’s most desirable neighborhoods. This is why teardown and rebuild projects are the new norm in these established, sought-after communities. At Moore, we don’t wait until you own a property to get involved. We start at the very beginning.

We help you identify the right lot, envision the right home, and guide the full design-build journey from day one. We’ve partnered with The Saritte Harel Team, one of the most respected real estate groups in the region, to help our clients build smarter from the start. This collaboration is especially powerful in high-demand areas like Short Hills and across Essex, Union and Morris Counties.

WHY TEARDOWNS ARE THE SMARTEST WAY TO BUILD

Most new construction homes in the area start by removing outdated
or underbuilt houses that no longer meet today’s standards.

But not every teardown is worth your time or budget. That’s where Moore Fine Homes and The Saritte Harel Team make the difference. We’ll walk the property with you and assess its true potential. We’ll map out what’s possible together before you make an offer.

This early insight helps you make better decisions and avoid hidden surprises. You can step into your project with clarity and confidence.

With this approach, you’ll understand:

  • What’s realistically buildable on the lot
  • How zoning & code requirements impact design
  • How a custom home should fit the neighborhood
  • The cost and timeline for full design-build construction in Short Hills and other high-end neighborhoods in Essex and Morris Counties
