Synergy Stables Proposes 13 Homes to Preserve Colts Neck Character

COLTS NECK, N.J., Nov. 10, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Synergy Stables owner Michael Fazio has proposed a development plan that would see just 13 single-family homes built on a 32-acre property in Colts Neck, New Jersey. This proposal, which contrasts sharply with offers from prospective developers for over 330 residential units, reflects Fazio's commitment to preserving the rural character and open spaces of Colts Neck.

Fazio, who owns Synergy Stables, has long been vocal about his desire to protect the unique qualities that make Colts Neck a special place to live.

The 32-acre Synergy Stables property has attracted significant interest from developers, with offers worth tens of millions of dollars for the construction of more than 330 residential units. However, Fazio has chosen to advocate for a substantially less intensive plan.

Fazio's proposal would limit development to 13 single-family residential lots, a dramatically lower density than the 330-plus-unit concepts presented by prospective developers. He maintains that the township previously supported the proposed rezoning approach, which was developed with consideration for Colts Neck's broader planning objectives and affordable housing requirements. Fazio has also expressed a willingness to establish deed restrictions intended to prevent future high-density residential construction on the property, providing an additional measure of long-term protection for the surrounding community.

The discussion comes as Colts Neck faces broader decisions concerning residential density and future land use. The Colts Neck Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing concerning the township's Master Plan on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall, 1 Veterans Way, Colts Neck, New Jersey. Fazio hopes the discussion will reinforce the importance of preserving open space, respecting established neighborhoods, and exploring development solutions that align with the township's long-standing character.

Fazio is encouraging Colts Neck residents to participate in the local planning process and share their perspectives with elected officials and members of the Planning Board. He hopes the discussion will demonstrate that responsible development and community preservation do not have to be competing priorities.
