The Opportunity

WinnDevelopment, an award winning national real estate development company, is owner of a 5.4 acre property which they are seeking to develop, The development will include a 4-story age-restricted apartment building with 78 units, off-street parking and indoor and outdoor amenity spaces to serve the residents.

The Challenge

The property is mostly undeveloped, with an existing detention basin at the road frontage. The site is partially within a tidal flood hazard area, and has a gas pipeline easement through the property, as well as environmental constraints. The project will be going for NJHMFA funding, which will require specific design features to be incorporated.

The PS&S Solution

Utilizing the existing detention basin and working focusing the site layout on the higher elevation areas of the site allowed the site to minimize disturbances within the flood hazard areas. PS&S architects designed the building to meet the goals of the zoning requirements of the Township, the needs of the clients. The building shape allowed for off-street parking and indoor and outdoor amenity spaces to be situated around the building for easy access to the residents and visitors. Landscaping was designed to provide shade and character to the property, as well as buffering the site from the street.
