After work began last year on a model at a townhouse project in Fort Salonga, construction of the entire development started Monday. The over-55 age-restricted development from Hauppauge-based Northwind Group will bring 74 townhouses to a portion of the Indian Hills Country Club.
Pre-construction sales have already begun on the project known as the Preserve at Indian Hills and the development’s first phase of 24 homes is more than 90 percent sold.
The townhomes were built under a cluster provision in the Town of Huntington’s single-family zoning code to allow for maximum preservation of open space by clustering homes. The project preserves the 130-acre, 18-hole golf course and the country club, which has more than 300 members, continues to operate.
