When Garden State Park hosted its last horse race 24 years ago, it opened up a large chunk of land that a number of developers sought to turn into a 55+ community.
Construction on the site began in 2007, before it was sold to another developer and then ultimately purchased by New York developer William "Billy" Procida about two years ago. Procida says he's done what others couldn't accomplish at the 33-acre site, which was getting the development to the finish line. Over the past two years, Procida has built over 300 units.
The Inquirer's Jake Blumgart delves into the yearslong saga to finish the development and takes a peek at the completed community within Garden State Park.
