Barbera Homes & Development will embark this year on a 132-unit condominium neighborhood in Clifton Park.
The 28-acre Park West community will be connected via sidewalks throughout leading to an open space common area, mail kiosk and gazebo, according to company president Frank Barbera.
The Park West project is comprised of 27 4-unit buildings, five 2-unit twin-style duplex buildings and 14 single-family homes. A combination of first floor master suites and one-floor, ranch-style homes will be the design for the 2- and 4-unit buildings. Single-family units will offer a contemporary colonial style.
Floor plans will be between 1,200 and 1,700 square feet.
The community is centrally located near the new round-about at routes 146 and 146A in Clifton Park, behind the Raven’s Wood Restaurant. Route 146 is a primary commercial corridor through the town.
The community is designed with a traditional neighborhood in mind, Barbera said, featuring street trees along the sidewalks, trails, recreation areas and green space, landscaping and benches along the way. Units will each have a garage and yard.
He said Park West is designed with retirees and young professionals in mind. Property maintenance will be managed and paid for by a neighborhood home owners association.
“The location is surrounded by conveniences, just down the street from Clifton Commons, and it is ideally situated for all lifestyles,” said Barbera. “It is for those who desire to downsize and remain in their community and for singles and young professionals who want an un-troublesome living environment in a community they can invest in, as opposed to renting.”
Homes will feature spacious contemporary floor plans. Open outdoor space and room for outdoor living is plentiful.
“The goal is to have a moderately priced product with a cross-generational appeal and affordability,” said Barbera.
The wooded land parcel was owned by Scott Earl. Earl is the majority owner of Prestige Services and Twin Bridges Waste & Recycling, both located in Halfmoon.
The community is projected to open by the summer, Barbera said.
