W Squared is the $350 million, 25-acre mixed-use community built around Princeton Junction station in West Windsor, on NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line. West Windsor granted final site plan approval in December 2021, and by 2026 much of it is built and occupied.
The plan totals 868 homes from three developers:
- 535 apartments by AvalonBay (Avalon W Squared), from studios to three bedrooms. The buildings were completed in 2025 and are leasing now, and 100 of the apartments are set aside for very low, low and moderate income households.
- 198 for-sale homes by Pulte: 150 townhomes and 48 condominium flats, sold as Link at W Squared. Pulte has sold out, so these homes now come up only as resales.
- 135 assisted living units by Atria Senior Living and Welltower.
The project also includes about 21,300 square feet of shops and restaurants and a 1.5-acre public promenade next to the station. AvalonBay lists the retail at the W Squared Promenade as coming soon.
For buyers who commute to New York or Philadelphia, W Squared adds rare walk-to-the-train housing in West Windsor, and the resale townhomes at Link at W Squared are a for-sale option in the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district. The 535 new rentals add supply for renters near the station. Once the promenade's restaurants and shops open, they add the kind of walkable amenity next to the station that the area has lacked.
