Over the past year, West Windsor saw more retail development with the completion of The Square at West Windsor, a 245,000-SF center on Route I that is home to a Lowe's Home Improvement Center. The town also saw new additions to the Nassau Park shopping center along the Route I corridor. In addition, West Windsor settled its 10-year dispute with Toll Brothers over the proposed Estates at Princeton Junction development. After losing several court battles to block the development, the township finally reached a settlement with Toll, paving the way for construction of the 1,165-unit complex. The ground has been cleared for the new development and construction will take place in phases over the next several years. |
