Peter Blicher, president of Pennington Propcnics, plans [0 build a retirement town house community on 15 of Ihe acres, aptly named uwrcncevillc Point. The rest of the land, he said. will be used for ~opcn space. M The homes will be for aduhs 55 years of age and older. Blieber is planning on using the land, which is not part of Rider's main campus and is separated by Bunker Hill Road, to build 88 age-reSiricted homes for retirees and Rider alumni. He has received 35 deposits for the homes in the last five days. "Alumni are alre.ld)' making deposits on the homes now," Blicher said. "They want to be a pan of this. n The developer said the homes, which will be built in groups of four, will sell for $130,000-$140.000. Blicher said Lawrenceville Point will have some homes with one bedroom, a den and two hathrooms, while other homes will have twO bedrooms, a den, and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Thefe will also be an artS and crafts room, kitchen, library and an exercise room, as well as walking trails ~nd a park. ""'s good for oldef people to live together, to feel like they belong," Blichc.:r said. Even though the Lawrenc('ville Planning Board has approved Blichcr's development plans, he still has to wait for state approVill to actually Start construction of the d~lop ment.
