Private developer planning bayfront housing for Stockton students in AC

A coveted piece of bayfront property may soon be the site of an off-campus housing complex for Stockton University students, as developers are working on a plan to bring more than 100 beds to North Trenton Avenue.

Donald Haviland, President & CEO and General Manager Ron G. Ruffner Jr. of Light House Properties unveiled plans Monday for private student housing at the site just west of the Gateway Project, which includes Stockton’s new Atlantic City campus expected to open next fall.

Called “The Point,” the four-story structure off Sunset Avenue and adjacent to the Wonder Bar would offer waterfront views on two sides and a head-on view of the Gateway Project. The first floor would be a lobby area with residential units on the second through fourth floors. Most of the apartments will be one-bedroom units between 350 and 400 square feet, Haviland said. There will be some two-bedroom units available. Haviland did not say what the lease rate of the units would be.
