Those who want to move to Clifton Park could soon have more housing opportunities to choose from.
Atrium Properties is currently designing new housing, the Clifton Park Center Road apartments, located on its namesake street.
The project consists of four buildings total, containing 39 units, the company said. Condominiums vary between one, two and three bedrooms. It will be on a four-acre parcel of land on Clifton Park Center Road.
The housing will be adjacent to the YMCA and Hannaford Plaza and within walking distance to the Clifton Park Center.
Murray Law Firm, based in Clifton Park, is helping with the design of the property. The firm specializes in real estate transactions, land use, and general business law. The firm consists of Peter Murray and Jacqueline Phillips Murray.
Phillips Murray said Clifton Park Center Road Apartments will help build a residential area that Clifton Park needs.
“There was a town center plan that was adopted four years ago to promote mixed-use properties and make a true town center for Clifton Park,” she said.
It is a true suburban town, without much of a town center, said Phillips Murray. It is her hope that the new constructions within the town will create a new downtown culture.
Accessibility is an important factor for many people when deciding where to live, and these apartments provide it, she said.
“This will provide a culture of walkability,” she said. “We can enjoy a true town center. I think it’s going to be great.”
She said residents of Clifton Park have been anxious for a downtown area and design and development teams have been hard at work in recent years planning a new town center for residents. Apartments such as the Clifton Park Center Road Apartments will help shape the future of Clifton Park.
