The project is the third AvalonBay has done in this Mercer County community. Combined with the earlier Avalon Run and Avalon Run East I, it will raise the company's unit count to 632 here, and to more than 3,200 statewide.

The project, the latest in a recent rash of new residential developments in this housing-starved state, will be made up of 16 buildings with a mix of townhomes and stacked, garden-style flats, according to Schwager. It will include a clubhouse of nearly 7,000 sf, and almost 700 parking spaces, and more than 70% of the 69-acre site will be maintained as open space.
