How about this for an idea? Propose and build something beautiful for the town in which you and your family live. Build that gorgeous space you showed us so often in the early presentations. I think you’ll agree the five to eight floor condo complexes with a 50-foot wide, three-block long road median of green that Hillier proposed for your land on the Vaughn Drive connector are not a town center piece. Make something that gives people the sense of Barcelona as you described at Grover a couple weeks ago. Propose to build 300 or 400 condos on your land. Integrate them with a beautiful promenade. Build those shops, build those restaurants, build those community meet and greet areas. You and your family will be treated with great esteem by a grateful community.
I’ll bet that would still be a good money maker for InterCap. And can you imagine how easy your next project will be when you show your next candidate town the beautiful work you’ve done in West Windsor? It’s likely you will even have towns contacting InterCap to do development as opposed to needing lawyers to force development over united taxpayer and concerned citizen opposition.
And, in the end, it truly is your decision if InterCap pursues 1,440 condos, 1,000 condos or something beautiful in the town you call home. I’ll tell you what —you build something beautiful with a modest number of condos and I’ll be the first in line to sign a petition to call it the Goldin Promenade.
The choice is yours. And, it is a pretty simple choice — unmitigated profit maximization, increased taxes, increased traffic, school disruption, and diminished home values vs. building something beautiful. How do you want to be remembered? What is your legacy?
