A hotel, movie theater and housing development along with the smokestacks–upon engineer inspection and approval– will all be part of the redevelopment on the former Anchor Glass site.

Somerset Developers is also currently going through the Holmdel Planning Board to develop the Alcatel-Lucent property, including revamping the existing building to bring in business and retail. The developer will also construct a housing development on the over 400-acre property.

Somerset received preliminary and final site plan approval Wednesday from the Aberdeen Township Planning Board. The approval is conditional upon review of the development plan timeline and submission of revisions to build 500 residential units and 75,000 square feet of retail space at the industrial site on Cliffwood Avenue. 

Plans call for a 110-room hotel, a 220-seat movie theater, and retail space with residential units above. The remainder of the site would be residential units with a mix of townhouses and apartments and open space, including a 2-acre Glassworks Park.
