434 Washington Road development
Property across from St. Bernard Church
NVR Inc. and Horizon Properties Group have an equitable interest in a property located at 434 Washington Road. The concept for the site is two multi-family structures with 24 units each on Washington Road and four townhouses fronting on Kenmont Avenue. Each multi-family structure contains one level of sub-surface parking. Additional off-street parking is provided onsite. The project will also create 18 on-street public parking spaces.
Developers presented an initial concept to the Planning Board at the March 18, 2025 meeting for comments and feedback. Watch the meeting video.
They have not applied for any approvals at this point. The appearance at the meeting was merely informational and for developers to get initial feedback.
We will update this page as the project goes through municipal processes.
