Class-A multifamily ground-up development on 14 acres in West Windsor, NJ — fully entitled and construction-ready for June 2026 commencement.
Edge Lofts is a Class-A multifamily ground-up development located at 289 Village Road East in West Windsor, New Jersey. The 14-acre, fully entitled site is positioned in one of New Jersey's most desirable residential markets — offering proximity to Princeton Junction NJ Transit station, major employment centers along the Route 1 Corridor, and the Mercer County lifestyle amenities that drive sustained rental demand.
Axria, leveraging its vertically integrated model with in-house construction expertise, is positioned to deliver this project on time and on budget — combining disciplined underwriting with cost-controlled execution through Sigma Construction. The project is currently in the pre-development stage with construction commencing June 2026 and targeted for delivery by October 2028.
A stabilized NOI of $5,401,917 is projected in Year 5 (2031) following an 8-month lease-up. The exit strategy is the sale of the stabilized asset to an institutional buyer, capitalizing on the compressed cap rates for Class-A suburban multifamily in the Princeton/West Windsor submarket.

West Windsor / Princeton Corridor Demand
West Windsor sits within the Princeton MSA — one of the most knowledge-intensive employment corridors in the US. Major employers include Princeton University, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novo Nordisk, and dozens of Route 1 biopharmaceutical and technology firms. The corridor sustains exceptional renter demand from graduate students, early-career professionals, and NRI households seeking quality suburban living with transit access.
Transit & Infrastructure Advantage
Princeton Junction NJ Transit station is within minutes of the site — providing direct Northeast Corridor service to New York Penn Station (65 min) and Philadelphia 30th Street (~55 min). This positions Edge Lofts as a prime "drive to transit" community for commuters. Additionally, the nearby Route 1 highway corridor offers direct access to the Route 9, Route 130, I-95, and I-295 interchange.
Competitive Positioning
The West Windsor submarket has limited new Class-A multifamily supply. Existing inventory skews toward older product with fewer amenities. Edge Lofts will be positioned as the submarket's premier Class-A community, commanding a meaningful rent premium over existing comparables. The fully entitled 14-acre site creates a substantial competitive barrier to entry.
Exit Strategy & Cap Rate Environment
New Jersey suburban multifamily assets in transit-oriented locations have demonstrated cap rate compression to the 4.5–5.5% range for Class-A product. At stabilized NOI of $5.40M, the asset is expected to command an exit valuation of approximately $98–120M depending on prevailing market conditions, representing a significant equity multiple for equity investors.
