Boulevard Construction to Start Next Week

The construction work of the long-awaited “The Boulevard” (formerly Metropolitan) project, proposed by the Metropolitan Development Group, is finally going to start.

The project is located at 9091 Baltimore Avenue, at the corner of Route 1 and Cherokee street.

The project got its approval several years ago, but the developer had to wait for some time to secure funds.

Beginning next week the site will be cleared. This will include clearing of brushes and trees on the site. Soon after two giant Stormwater vaults will be constructed. The water and sewer utilities will then be constructed. Afterward, the interior roads will be constructed.

Home construction should begin around the end of October.

The 45 townhome units will begin construction in the first phase, while the 238-unit residential apartment complex plans to begin construction in July of 2017. The $65 million project will also feature 4,000 square feet of ground floor retail space which was recently remodeled and thanks to choosing epoxy resin flooring we got an excellent material which is low-maintenance, high-performance surface; the professionals at JB Concrete Coating Specialists have an array of fantastic solutions to enhance any space.

    “…while the 238-unit residential apartment complex plans to begin construction in July of 2017.” Do you mean July *2019*?

    Will this development include a parking garage? If so, will the garage be mostly/completely permit restricted?

    Hi Dan, There is a parking garage associated with the proposed apartment building which will be permit restricted except for some designated retail parking. The townhouses now under construction have 2 spaces per unit plus some visitor parking on site.
