The developer, Promenade Toms River, LLC, has filed a site plan for a mixed-use project on about 22.5 acres at Lakewood Road (Route 9) and Clayton Avenue in Toms River. County records list 120 townhomes, 30 affordable apartments and about 27,200 square feet of office and other non-residential space.
A local news report, apparently from late 2025, described an earlier version of the plan for the same corner. It had 150 apartments, a clubhouse, two office buildings and a retail building, and the township planning board was expected to hear it. The housing mix appears to have changed since then. That report's exact date could not be confirmed.
No opposition, approval decision or future occupants were found in the sources reviewed.
