Beginning May 2, the 2015 Metro Designer Showhouse will be open for visitors in Edgewater, New Jersey at the historic, waterfront Pearl. The most talented interior designers and architects within the New York Metropolitan area will transform an entire loft residence to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Interior designer Robert Passal will serve as a Showhouse chair along with ASPIRE Metro Magazine as the media sponsor.

The designers will spend the next eight weeks designing their loft spaces into the ultimate urban residences (unlike most showhouses where a designer decorates a single room). The Pearl features a total of seven living rooms, seven dining rooms, and 16 bedrooms where designers, Fulya Can, Sam Ciardi, Andrea Daly, Joe Ginsberg, Anna Maria Mannarino, Amy Manor, Alan Tanksley and Catherine Weinstock will be participating.

"When we discovered The Pearl - capturing the Manhattan skyline, its iconic past and re-imagination for the future - we knew we wanted to partner with its developer, National Resources, to launch a luxury Showhouse like no other," relayed Amy Sneider, editor in chief of ASPIRE Metro magazine.
"It's an incredible opportunity to inspire and excite design enthusiasts, while supporting the Alzheimer's Association, such a vital, worthy cause," Sneider stated.
An exclusive Gala Preview and Alzheimer's Association fundraiser presented by ASPIRE and National Resources will be hosted on Thursday, April 30 at The Pearl. Gala Preview tickets are priced at $100 per person in advance and $150 at the door. The ticket proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer's Association Greater NJ Chapter.
Chef Danielle Suanders, who has cooked for celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks, who is also the first African American female winner of both "Chopped" and "Chopped Champions" on the Food Network, will be creating and overseeing Gala menus. As for guests traveling from New York City, complimentary ferry and NJ ground transportation will be provided.
The Metro Designer Showhouse will be open from the beginning of May until June 28, 2015 and will operate Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a $25 per person admission fee. All admission ticket sale proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association Great NJ Chapter and will include a Showhouse Journal.
