Gloucester Pike. Royal Green Miniature Golf would tear down the roughly 10,000 square foot former Kids Castle building and lay out the course across the 63,000 square foot property. Royal Green Miniature Golf went before Barrington's Planning/Zoning Board on August 24. The application is for 60 E. Gloucester Pike, block 13 lot 1.08, and asks for a use variance and for preliminary and final site plan approval.

The land is zoned for about one home per acre. The 154 acre property on Sicklerville Road in Gloucester Township was the nation's first African American-owned 18-hole golf course. A plan filed with the town would turn it into 743 homes. Freeway Golf Course was purchased by four Black businessmen in 1967 and hosted its last round in November 2015. The property has been for sale since 2016, and an earlier proposal to build a warehouse there was withdrawn after neighbors objected. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/woolwich-park-grove-affordable.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/woolwich-park-grove-affordable.html Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Approvals The Woolwich Township Joint Land Use Board approved a lot split and the first-stage site plan for 72 affordable housing units on Block 16, Lot 5, after the Township Committee had passed the redevelopment plan change and the tax exemption agreement behind it. Woolwich Township has cleared the way for 72 affordable housing units on Block 16, Lot 5, off Kings Highway. The Joint Land Use Board granted minor subdivision and preliminary site plan approval to Park Grove Development, LLC on a unanimous roll call, and memorialized it in Resolution #2026-11 the following month. The vote came after the applicant moved a retaining wall out of the front yard setback and the stormwater basins out of the wetlands buffer, which removed the variances the plan would otherwise have needed. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/franklin-township-family-lot-splits.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/franklin-township-family-lot-splits.html Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Approvals The Planning Board cleared two minor subdivisions on the same night, 7 to 0 and 6 to 1. Each turns one lot into two, and neither lot was the 150 feet wide at the street the township requires. Franklin Township's Planning Board approved two minor subdivisions at its July 21 meeting, each one turning a single lot into two. The application at 2156 Chew Avenue, Block 303 Lot 1, was granted 7 to 0 with none opposed. The application at 2633 Sheridan Avenue, Block 701 Lot 14, was granted 6 to 1. A third minor subdivision, at 592 Proposed Avenue, was postponed to August. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-lot-value-differs.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-lot-value-differs.html Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Resource Two lots on the same road can price apart, and the reasons are usually not visible from the road. Here is what a buyer reads off the ground before an offer, and why a neighbor's number is a poor guide to your own. Owners often price a lot off what the one next door brought. It is the most natural comparison to reach for, and it is the one most likely to be wrong. What a lot is worth turns on what can be built on it, and that answer is read off the ground rather than off the street the ground sits on. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/evesham-lakeside-swim-club.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/evesham-lakeside-swim-club.html Tue, 08 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Announced Evesham Township's Planning Board carried two residential subdivisions to its September 17 meeting: six new homes on the old swim club site at 100 Lakeside Drive, and three new lots on Elmwood Road North.

The application, filed as P25-09 at 100 Lakeside Drive, asks Evesham Township's Planning Board for preliminary and final major subdivision approval. The agenda lists the present use of the site as a vacated swim club and the proposed use as single family residential, and it sits in the township's Regional Growth zone at Barton Run. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/voorhees-oaks-at-centennial.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/voorhees-oaks-at-centennial.html Tue, 08 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Announced The Oaks at Centennial would put 120 rental apartments in two phases on the 6.6 acre L&L Redi Mix site at 600 and 602 Centennial Boulevard.

Two pole barn variances share the night. Mantua Township's Municipal Land Use Board meets at 7:00 p.m. on September 15, and the agenda it posted carries five new applications.

These are the actual trade offs between building and buying something already standing, rather than a case for one of them. People tend to arrive at this question having already half decided, and then get talked out of it by one detail. It is worth laying the trade offs out plainly, because both answers are right for somebody and neither is right for everybody. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/ocean-city-soleil-condo-hotel.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/ocean-city-soleil-condo-hotel.html Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT Announced Soleil, a six-story condo hotel at Ocean Avenue and 11th Street in Ocean City, has a construction permit after more than twenty years on the drawing board.

Between now and then, the minutes say, there will be a workshop on the master plan at the end of each planning and zoning meeting. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/upper-township-marmora-affordable-condition.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/upper-township-marmora-affordable-condition.html Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Approvals The Upper Township Planning Board hears an application on September 3 to amend a 2022 approval at 342 US Route 9 South, by removing the condition that required two on-site affordable housing units.

Weather, permitting and the upgrades picked at contract all move that, and the approvals sit before the clock starts rather than inside it. The first question on a new construction home is almost always how long it will take. For most homes on a homesite that is already approved, the answer is somewhere around 5 to 8 months from signed contract to certificate of occupancy. That is the window to plan a lease around, or to plan the sale of the house you are in now. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/somers-point-bay-avenue-townhomes.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/somers-point-bay-avenue-townhomes.html Mon, 24 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Announced An applicant named 555 Bay Avenue Townhomes is asking the state for a coastal permit to redevelop a single Somers Point site with 100 residences: 80 market rate townhouses and 20 affordable apartments.

After a suit and a tentative settlement adding road work, a Superior Court judge has ordered the board to hear it again.

Here is what each one covers. Most of what a buyer looks at on a new construction home is in front of them: the plan, the homesite, the finishes. The part that is not in front of them is what New Jersey asks of the builder before any of it goes up. It is worth knowing, because it is the same for every owner-occupied new home in the state, and because it gives you something specific to ask about. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/monroe-data-center-suit.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/monroe-data-center-suit.html Fri, 21 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Approvals Hexa Builders is seeking $300 million from Monroe Township in Gloucester County after local officials reversed a 2025 ordinance that had allowed data centers.

Cherry Hill Township spent $3,859,000 to buy Holly Ravine Farm at Evesham and Springdale roads and hold it as open space. The township decided to acquire the property from the heirs of former Mayor John C. Gilmour Jr., who began farming the land about 100 years ago, after a developer of senior housing proposed to clear it and build. Two Gilmour family farmhouses on the property were demolished earlier this year. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-bring-it-as-it-is.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-bring-it-as-it-is.html Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Resource Land in South Jersey is typically bought as-is: wooded, rough cleared, with a building still standing, or with approvals already in place. Here is what a landowner does not have to handle first, and the one case where that changes. One of the most common reasons an owner puts off a call about their land is a list of jobs they think have to come first. Take the trees down. Knock the old building down. Order a survey. Get something approved at the township. If you own a lot or a few acres in South Jersey and that list is what has been stopping you, it is worth knowing that in most cases none of it is needed. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-deal-shape.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-deal-shape.html Wed, 19 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Resource Once an offer on a lot is accepted, the sale usually runs in two periods: 30 to 45 days of due diligence, then closing within 15 days after the contingencies are met. Here is what gets checked in each, and what a landowner does not have to do first. A lot sale in South Jersey takes a set shape once an offer is accepted: a due diligence period, then a closing. If you own a spot lot, a few acres or a larger parcel and are weighing a sale, here is what each period covers, so you can plan around it. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/atlantic-city-schwehm-lofts.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/atlantic-city-schwehm-lofts.html Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Ground broken A vacant 1920s building at 1 South New York Avenue is being rebuilt as 56 loft apartments, a $22.5 million historic rehabilitation with an $8 million state tax credit behind it.

The council president made the demolition a community event, and the mayor took the first pieces off the building from the seat of the excavator. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/ocean-city-seaspray-sjnc.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/ocean-city-seaspray-sjnc.html Sat, 15 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT Announced A Conshohocken developer is gutting the condemned Seaspray complex for demolition and plans a four-story, 43-unit condo building in its place.
