“They want to be close to shopping, the doctors, all the people that service them,” Armbruster said. “We’re proud to be here and we’re going to build a nice community here.”Īrtisan Communities’ target market is homeowners 55 and older, Armbruster said, who are seeking to downsize in their empty-nester years, but who still want high-quality, luxury homes and amenities.

One subdivision, called the Courtyards at Stonehill Village, began construction last year. Of those, just under 600 homes have actually been constructed. The township has approved eight applications from multiple developers to build 980 single-family residences and an additional 246 multi-family units across as many subdivisions.

McConnell said current market forces are catching up with planning that happened 30 years ago,
