A plan to build out a vacant property in Lincroft with more than 300 homes has neighbors concerned and “real nervous” about the impacts of such a large development in one of Middletown’s more tranquil areas.
Plans submitted by Four Ponds Associates call for 342 residential units 274 of them townhomes and 68 apartments on the 68-acre property most recently used as an office of business technology giant Avaya.
While the plans are under review by the township’s planning department, nearby residents full of questions and concerns are banding together in opposition to develop the sprawling tract on Middletown-Lincroft Road, which is now the site of a 352,000-square-foot office building, according to property records.
