Woodmont Properties Honored With Smart Growth Award From NJ Future

METUCHEN, N.J. (June 2, 2017) – Woodmont Properties, one of New Jersey’s leaders in development of luxury apartment communities, announced today it has been honored with a Smart Growth Award from New Jersey Future for Woodmont Metro at Metuchen Station, a transit-oriented, luxury community located in the heart of Metuchen. The project will be formally recognized at the Smart Growth Awards ceremony in Newark on June 7.

Located in one of Middlesex County’s favorite hometowns, Woodmont Metro is vibrant community that features a stunning rooftop terrace and Metro lounge, charming courtyards, strength and cardio fitness studio center with a virtual yoga room, and club room with sports bar and gaming table. The pet-friendly community also features an indoor pet spa, a stunning courtyard swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor fireplace and barbeque grilling areas. Residents of the property will have access to a beautiful European-styled plaza anchored by the Shops at Woodmont Metro, Metuchen's newest upscale retail storefronts.

“With each and every one of our communities, we work closely with local officials to be sure that our plans will fit in seamlessly with the character of their town,” said Stephen Santola, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Woodmont Properties. “The municipal officials and the results of Metuchen are collectively smart and forward thinking. We’re honored to be recognized with a Smart Growth Award, and we are pleased to be leading the development of New Jersey’s transit-oriented communities.”

The property’s parking deck, developed and operated by Nexus Parking Systems, was a key component of the development. The deck serves commuters utilizing the Metuchen Train Station, which is the ninth busiest outlying station in the New Jersey Transit system with more than 3,700 riders boarding each weekday according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

“It has been a pleasure to work alongside of Woodmont Properties on this transformative project for Metuchen and we’re honored to be recognized with Woodmont for this award,” said Dante Germano, President of Nexus Parking Systems.
