NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A developer is moving forward with its plans to erect a 16-unit apartment building on the site of the former rectory of the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church on Maple Street.

The 2.5-story house was recently demolished and will soon be replaced by the new development being undertaken by Construction Management Associates, also known as Premiere Properties.

The site is 75 feet wide by 200 feet long, and stretches between Maple and Freeman Streets, just off of Somerset Street in the Fifth Ward.
