The Grand Applies to Add Apartments at High-Rises

A Cherry Hill high-rise complex will go before the zoning board next week in an effort to try to expand the number of apartments beyond the allowed density, according to a notice filed by its management company.

Allstate Management Corporation, which controls The Grand towers on Frontage Road, is seeking to add a total of 20 new apartments at the two buildings, converting commercial space on the ground floors into rental units, according to its filing with the zoning board.

The high-rise towers are in Cherry Hill’s R20 zone, and Allstate Management’s application would push the number of units in the buildings to just above the current limit, with tower No. 1 getting nine new apartments and tower No. 2 getting 11.

The company is also applying for a site plan waiver for various pathways and patios at the high-rise complex.

Representatives of Allstate Management, which is headquartered in Pennsauken, weren’t available for further comment on the plans on Friday.

The zoning board will consider the application Thursday night at its regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. at the municipal building on Mercer Street.
