The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a building permit for a new medical and nursing care building in Paramus. It would be an institutional building of about 196,497 square feet, with a reported construction cost of $28.2 million. That is roughly the floor area of a large hospital wing. The records don't give the street address, the operator or what is on the site now.
No web source was found that clearly matches this project. Searches turned up other Paramus healthcare proposals, including a hospital expansion and a senior-care facility on Paramus Road. Neither could be tied to this permit, so neither is treated as part of it here.
What it could mean nearby
- Because the permit is for a medical and nursing facility, it would probably bring staff, visitor and delivery trips, but no traffic study was found.
- Jobs would likely come from both construction and facility operations, but no staffing figures were found.
- No information was found on schools, utilities or open space.
Where it stands
A building permit was filed with the county on 2025-03-04, which usually means local land-use approvals are done or were not needed. Construction inspections and, later, occupancy approvals typically follow. No local hearing records for this project were found.
