Select Properties, Inc. has proposed a mixed-use neighborhood on about 16 acres along North Charlotte Street, near Dotterer Road, in New Hanover Township. The county describes it as senior housing. The plan has 58 homes: 32 townhouse or twin-style homes and 26 apartments. It also has one commercial space of about 7,825 square feet.
The site is across the road from a church campus. An earlier sketch plan in May 2026 showed 50 townhouse or twin homes. The October 2026 preliminary plan changed the mix and added apartments and commercial space.
No news coverage, opposition or approvals were found. The township's planning page does not say whether the housing is age-restricted. It also does not name any future commercial tenant.

Where it stands
