A new development project featuring 74 high-end townhouses has been approved for construction near the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The state-run Casino Reinvestment Development Authority gave the green light to the project on Tuesday (April 21). The townhouses will be built on parking lots across from the old Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, which is owned by the same developer.
According to Jersey Digs, the New York-based developer has received planning and zoning approval for the townhouse complex. Each unit will feature four levels, including four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three parking spaces, and a rooftop deck. The development is part of a broader effort to revitalize the area, which has seen significant investment in recent years.
The developer is also working on transforming the former Atlantic Club Casino Hotel into a non-gaming Hilton hotel. Rocco Sebastiani, president of Colosseo Atlantic City Inc., plans to convert one tower into 108 condos and the other into hotel rooms. The project is expected to open by the third quarter of 2026, featuring a variety of amenities, including beach bars, cabanas, and retail shops.
The approval of the townhouse project marks a significant step forward in the ongoing redevelopment of Atlantic City. The city has seen a wave of new projects, including plans for additional townhomes and single-family homes in nearby neighborhoods. The revitalization efforts aim to attract new residents and visitors to the area, enhancing the city's appeal as a destination.
