FREEHOLD, NJ — A 75-unit, affordable-housing development for people 55 and older has been granted state environmental permits and is headed for construction in October. PIRHL of Cleveland, OH, with offices in Hamilton, will build the four-story, elevator-serviced community, Wemrock Senior Living, and plans to complete it by November 2019. A rendering of the project is attached. The development, on seven acres on the south side of Route 33 Business between Cardigan Bay Lane and Wemrock Rd., is designed to allow residents to age in place by connecting them to a continuum of services.
The building will feature 65, one-bedroom apartments and 10, two-bedroom apartments.
