(Photo: JOHN ZIOMEK/Courier-Post) Story Highlights The Short Hills complex, to be made up entirely of affordable units , would be developed by Fair Share Housing Center , a Cherry Hill- based advocacy center for affordable housing . CHERRY HILL – A deal to preserve Woodcrest Country Club could put more than 800 apartments on commercial sites on the township's west side, including the current headquarters of Subaru of America. The plan, which needs a judge's approval, would include from 90 to 124 units for people with low and moderate incomes — part of an agreement to settle a 30- year court fight over Cherry Hill's affordable-housing obligation. Township officials have said the agreement would bar future development at the 180- acre country club . The club's owner, Cherry Hill Land Associates , had sued the township in an effort to build an 844- unit apa...

A Northfield-based company has broken ground on a project that will bring 315 high-end apartments to a stalled mixed-use development near Oakbrook Terrace. Interforum Holdings will start construction of its Lakeside Village of Oak Brook luxury apartments as soon as the weather permits. The 500,000-square-foot, four-story building will be on roughly 6 acres along Royce Boulevard . "We went into the area to develop a project because we see a serious lack of luxury, Class A rental communities in the area," said Alex Zdanov, CEO of Interforum Holdings. "A current trend right now is for people to rent." Zdanov said Lakeside Village will provide a rental option for executives and other professionals working in Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace and other nearby communities. The apartment building will be in the Oak Brook Lakes development , which has 82 undeveloped acres off Butterfield Road, just east of where it splits from 22nd Street. Offic...

This letter to the editor was received from Clark Senior Housing President Bill Caruso .  We, the Clark Senior Housing Corp ., would like to let all the residents, especially the new residents in town, know that the Clark Senior Housing Corp is a private, non-profit company, not associated with any township's governmental agency. The Senior Housing Corp . was organized to encourage the town to plan and build affordable housing . In December 2000, we came before the Mayor and council to ask them for help for this noble project. We were told that the town had no money to spend on senior housing or any land left to build it on. We were also told to find the money and land ourselves and then they will see what they can do to help us out. The plan was always to help our seniors on fixed incomes that could no longer afford the high taxes on their homes, to find affordable housing in town so they can stay dose to their loved ones. We never would support building luxury adult apartments...
