A development team has started demolition of a blighted, long-vacant retail complex along Route 18 in East Brunswick, in a critical step in a plan to build new apartments, commercial space and other uses as part of a destination spanning dozens of acres.
A new public-private alliance has emerged in East Brunswick, where local leaders and a development team have united to revive a stretch of blighted retail property on Route 18.
A developer on Tuesday joined local officials in East Brunswick to present their vision for a $500 million redevelopment plan in the township, seeking to transform more than 40 acres of aging and underutilized retail property along the busy Route 18 corridor.
The developer of a new condominium project in Long Branch is more than halfway through construction, having sold 40 percent of the complex’s 47 oceanfront homes.
