What Do You Want in the Golden Triangle Site?

There have been plenty of chances for folks to tell East Brunswick what they think about the Golden Triangle saga.

But now that it’s settled, and a redevelopment plan is in place, we thought we’d ask residents what they want to see happen to the site.

While no plans have been announced, there have been many rumors, so tell us, what do you want to see on the Golden Triangle property?

Earlier this month, the Township Planning Board approved an application by Toll Brothers to subdivide the Golden Triangle property,  combining two existing lots on the property, and then to subdivide it yet again to accommodate plans for retail and residential space.

, Toll Brothers is allowed to build up to 220,000 square feet of commercial retail space - with no one store being larger than 180,000 square feet - and 200 to 400 housing units. Under the agreement, no more than 10 percent of those units can be three bedroom apartments. Mayor David Stahl has said he expects Toll Brothers to build close to the maximum number of units allowed.

, Toll Brothers presented a concept drawing of it’s basic proposal, which included a 155,000-square-foot building located in the same area as current structures on the land, and a 400 unit apartment complex behind that, at the corner of Tices Land and Old Bridge Turnpike. Entrances for the Transportation Center would remain on Old Bridge Turnpike and Tices Lane, and a new one would be built from Route 18.

The agreement brought an end to years of litigation with Toll Brothers regarding the property—which is bordered by Route 18, Tices Lane and the Old Bridge Turnpike and was formerly home to Sam’s Club.
