Marini Homes has plans to build 22 townhomes behind Ellsworth Commons, off Route 9 in Malta.
The plaza is located at 2101 Ellsworth Boulevard in Malta, in the heart of the downtown district of Malta.
Since the 1940s, Marini Homes, based in Latham, has built over 3,000 homes in the area. The company focuses on residential development in the Capital Region, including Albany, Saratoga, and Rensselaer counties.
The new community will consist of 22 townhomes across five buildings. Each home will range from 1,850-2,020 square feet, and will have three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The homes will also have full basements, and either a one- or two-car garage.
Working on the project is Saratoga-based Olsen Architects. Construction will start in the second quarter of 2020, the company said. They hope to have the work completed by the middle of 2021.
According to the company,, the townhomes will provide a much-needed service for the real-estate market for the Capital region.
“Home ownership in this price range is an underserved market in Saratoga County and will provide an option to more expensive single family detached homes or apartment living,” said a company statement. “Our target market is first-time home buyers and empty nesters looking to scale down and have all the conveniences of a walkable community that is a short distance to Saratoga Lake and downtown Saratoga Springs.”
Pricing for the homes is expected to start at $280,000 to the low $300,000.
