Borough of Glassboro breaks ground on 92 residential units in Downtown Redevelopment Zone

Development marks a significant milestone in the growth and expansion of Gloucester County Community. 


In recent years, Downtown Glassboro has undergone significant growth and development. This Friday morning at 10am, a ground-breaking ceremony will take place at the intersection of East High Street and South Academy Street to mark the beginning of another exciting project.

The ceremony will kick off the construction of 92 residential units, complete with rooftop decks and patios. Borough officials and representatives from The Residences at Academy Row will be present to celebrate this milestone.

Situated in the Downtown Glassboro redevelopment zone, this project is envisioned as a key component of a transit-oriented development. It aims to drive economic growth and serve as a model for downtown revitalization. The partnership with the Residences at Academy Row reflects a shared goal of transforming Downtown Glassboro into a vibrant urban hub, enhancing the quality of life for residents, visitors, commuters, and workers.

Mayor John E. Wallace III of the Borough of Glassboro expressed gratitude for the developers' efforts, as well as the efforts of our Borough Administration, in bringing this project to fruition. "This development truly exemplifies Glassboro’s long-standing vision of creating a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly corridor at the heart of our downtown. The development will consist of luxury condominiums, complemented by designated parking.  Academy Row will drive continued support to our small businesses and assist in attracting new business to Downtown Glassboro.”

An HOA (Homeowners Association) will be entrusted with overseeing maintenance and snow plowing, as well as managing and owning all common areas outside of the buildings. This exclusive development promises a sophisticated and convenient lifestyle for discerning homeowners, with top-notch amenities and services provided by the dedicated HOA.

"This new project in our downtown is weaving together Glassboro’s rich past with an exciting future. It’s not just the physical structures—it represents progress, creativity, and a shared vision for a thriving, interconnected community. With new opportunities sprouting across education, commerce, and recreation, Glassboro is poised to become a hub where innovation meets tradition, and where ambitions take root and grow.”  says Councilwoman Daniele Brida Spence.

"Breaking ground on Academy Row marks an exciting milestone for Genco Development as we bring this project to life in the heart of Glassboro. This community’s growth makes it the ideal place for high-quality housing that enhances the neighborhood and provides a best-in-class living experience. We’re thrilled to contribute to Glassboro’s continued evolution and look forward to seeing Academy Row become a vibrant addition to this thriving town." Genco Development’s Sean Frankel, Frank Cifelli & Momin Sheikh mentioned.

Leading the sales efforts for this premier development are three of the region’s top real estate professionals: Jim Onesti, Evangeline Gambardella, and Arvind Balaji. With a proven track record in new construction sales, this powerhouse team is ready to guide buyers through an exceptional home-buying experience.
