Announcing a Visionary Residential Development in Clarkstown: Preserving Green Spaces While Enhancing Community Life

In an innovative step towards sustainable development and community enrichment, a new residential project is being proposed on excess land at Paramount Country Club by the owners of the Club, a third-generation New Jersey real estate investment family. The project provides several substantial benefits to the residents of Clarkstown including absolute preservation of green space through deed restriction, increased net tax revenue of over $3,000,000 a year, and housing for first responders.

Commitment to Open Space and Community Integrity

Understanding the critical importance of maintaining green spaces for future generations, the developers behind this forward-thinking project have pledged to deed restrict approximately two-thirds of the entire property, blocking future development by everyone including Paramount, and ensuring it remains undisturbed and protected open space. This gesture will preserve Clarkstown's natural beauty and valuable recreational areas for decades to come.

The planned residential development sets a new standard for low-density, local development proposing roughly one unit per acre, a thoughtful approach that will ensure the preservation of the area’s scenic charm along Zukor Road. The new development will maintain Clarkstown's character and offer a compatible residential expansion that aligns with community values.

Introducing Amenity-Rich Residential Options

Recognizing the lack of high-end, amenity-rich housing in Clarkstown, the Paramount Country Club development will offer a mix of townhouses, golf villas, and apartment-style condominiums on club grounds inside the golf course. These new housing options come with access to exclusive amenities like dining, golf, pools, tennis, pickleball, and a gym. Designed with the modern homeowner in mind, this project facilitates a lifestyle of convenience, luxury, and community.

The owners of the property have proposed to set aside units for first responders at significantly reduced cost to ensure affordable housing for EMS and firefighters.

Preserving Paramount Country Club

While several area golf clubs have shuttered their doors over the past few years, a crucial aspect of this development is the stabilization of Paramount Country Club, which serves as a catering venue for social activities including weddings, family parties, charity outings and business gatherings. The integration of new residents as social members will bolster the club’s position as a cornerstone for recreation and gatherings in Clarkstown, securing its future and allowing it to enhance and upgrade its offerings.

Boosting the Economy and Enhancing Property Values

Beyond enhancing the residential landscape, this responsible and balanced development is expected to bolster the local economy by creating jobs, supporting businesses, and generating significant tax revenues estimated at $5 million annually. This influx of resources will provide over $3 million per year in net additional funds to the town and schools, thereby contributing to the overall prosperity of Clarkstown.

Ensuring Minimal Impact on the Environment and Community

The development is meticulously planned to maintain the tranquility of Clarkstown, promising minimal increases in traffic and school population and protecting the scenic views along the golf course and Zukor Road corridor. The project’s inward-facing design guarantees that the natural and architectural beauty that residents cherish will be preserved.

A Future-Focused Solution

“This visionary project represents a balanced approach to development, blending the need for new, high-quality residential options with the imperative to preserve our natural and communal assets. By fostering a harmonious living environment that respects both the land and its people, Clarkstown can look forward to a future where community, sustainability, and prosperity go hand in hand,” states Steven Lapper, a spokesperson for the Club’s owner.
