On Thursday, September 18, Fello Communities celebrated a significant milestone for Easton Crossing with the ribbon-cutting of its new leasing office at 407 Brookletts Avenue. The event, attended by community partners, Easton residents, and local leaders, marked the official opening of the hub that will serve as the front door to Easton Crossing. Guests heard remarks from Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of Fello, and Ross Benincasa, Senior Vice President of Community Development for Fello Communities, before enjoying refreshments and a tour of the newly completed space.
Transforming a Community
Easton Crossing will transform the former 6.5-acre Perdue agribusiness site into a vibrant, walkable, and inclusive neighborhood. The development will add 117 residential units—30% of which are affordable housing—with ground-level commercial space alongside the Rails-to-Trails and Brookletts Avenue. Thoughtful amenities, including green spaces, walking paths, and a central fishing pond, will provide opportunities for connection and recreation.
The 407 Brookletts building will serve as the leasing and administrative offices for Easton Crossing and other Fello Communities properties across the Mid-Shore.
A Vision for Inclusive Community
“At Fello Communities, we believe people deserve more than housing. People deserve homes,” said Jonathon. “And that’s exactly what we’re here to build, and that’s exactly what we’re celebrating today.”
Ross added, “As a long-time resident of the Eastern Shore, I am honored and excited to be leading so many incredible efforts toward further developing our community and making profound impacts in people’s lives through community development. We are designing Easton Crossing to be a place where people can be their whole selves—at home and in their neighborhood.”
What’s Ahead
Construction across the site is moving forward on schedule. Sitework begins next month, with vertical construction on Building 509 planned for February 2026. The first families will move into Easton Crossing in early 2028, with completion of the full project by April 2029.
