County records describe new apartment buildings on Block 72.01, Lot 69 in Manalapan Township. The records list about 27,805 sq ft of building area and a reported construction cost of about $22.43 million. They also list roughly 14,782 sq ft of non-residential space, so some part of the project may not be housing.
Township documents found online appear to link this lot to an affordable-housing apartment plan. A 2023 township ordinance about selling the lot refers to an affordable housing agreement with a nonprofit developer for a project of about 100 units. Earlier planning board agendas from 2021 appear to list a site plan for this lot on Route 33. The text of these documents could not be read in full, so these links are not confirmed. No news coverage, opposition or tenant details were found.
What it could mean nearby
