Promenade Toms River, LLC proposes a mixed-use project on about 22.5 acres at Lakewood Road (Route 9) and Clayton Avenue in Toms River. County records list 120 townhomes, 30 affordable apartments (150 homes in all), a clubhouse and two office buildings, one with retail.
A local news report describes a township planning board hearing on the 150-home plan. It mentions a clubhouse of about 4,500 square feet, two office buildings of roughly 11,200 and 16,000 square feet, and a retail building on the Lakewood Road frontage. It says the developer bought the land in 2021. The report calls the homes apartments, while county records say townhomes plus affordable apartments. The report could not be opened in full, so the site's current use was not confirmed.
No opposition, approval or tenant announcements were found.
