On Thursday, September 18, 2025, Fello will celebrate the opening of the first completed building of Easton Crossing. This first building is 407 Brookletts Avenue, which will serve as the administrative and leasing office for Easton Crossing, one of the most highly anticipated community development projects in Easton.  

The ribbon cutting for 407 Brookletts marks an important first step toward in the construction and launch of Easton Crossing. Community members are invited to attend, enjoy breakfast and light refreshments, and celebrate this milestone together.

Building the Foundation 

407 Brookletts will serve as the leasing hub for both Easton Crossing’s future residents and commercial tenants, as well as the hub for supporting all Fello Communities properties across the Mid-Shore. The opening of this office marks the visible start of a larger transformation—turning a long-vacant property into a neighborhood built for connection and community.  

“This ribbon cutting is the start of something bigger,” said Ross Benincasa, Senior Vice President of Community Development for Fello Communities. “Easton Crossing will bring new homes, new opportunities, and new energy to Easton. This is the first step in that journey—and there’s much more to come.” 

What is Easton Crossing? 

Easton Crossing will transform the 6.5-acre site of the former Perdue AgriBusiness operation into a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. With all six planned buildings now fully approved, construction is underway to deliver: 

• 117 new residential units, with 30% designated as affordable. 
• Ground-level commercial space along the Rail-to-Trails and Brookletts Avenue. 
• Community green space, walking paths, and a fishing pond, offering amenities for both residents of Easton Crossing and Easton’s wider community.

The development has been shaped by community collaboration—through stakeholder meetings and neighborhood engagement—to ensure it reflects the needs and vision of the Easton community. The result is a project that is inclusive, accessible, and deeply connected to the community it serves. 

Next Steps 

Throughout 2026, there will be additional progress as sitework for the entire footprint of Easton Crossing is completed—including stormwater management, fiber installation, underground infrastructure, and surface parking. Once the sitework is complete, vertical construction can begin. 

The next milestone in Easton Crossing’s journey is Building 509, a multifamily building featuring artist lofts and a unit for people supported by Fello, fulfilling the vision of Easton Crossing as a place full of creating inclusive, vibrant spaces that connect housing, community, and opportunity.
