258-Unit Community Under Construction

BARNEGAT, NJ-Construction has started for Whispering Hills, an eco-friendly residential community being developed by the Walters Homes division of the locally based Walters Group. The 85-acre project had received its approvals in early 2007. The first phase is slated for delivery by the end of 2008, with subsequent phases targeted for 2010.

The project, on Rose Hill Road between Barnegat Ave. and Route 9 in this Ocean County community, will total 258 units at build-out. The initial phase includes all 107 townhouses slated for the project, and the subsequent phases will add 52 rental apartments and 99 single-family homes. The 52 rental apartments will be affordable housing units that will help the town meet its state-mandated affordable housing goal.

And a number of the townhouse units were sold during preconstruction, Walters marketing and sales manager Pamela Schuster tells GlobeSt.com. “This will be a beautiful, well-planned community,” she says. “We’re very encouraged by the good amount of traffic we’re getting.”
