The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county record describes a building permit for a new business-use (office) building of about 23,525 square feet on Rivervale Road in River Vale Township, Bergen County. The reported construction cost is about $11.8 million. The most recent county filing is dated March 26, 2024.
No news coverage, meeting agenda, or developer page was found that clearly matches this project. The record doesn't say who will build or occupy it, what is on the site now, or whether any neighbors have objected. Other Rivervale Road projects turned up in local news, mostly housing proposals, but none could be tied to this building.
A building permit usually comes after a town has approved the site plan. That suggests the project has cleared the main local land-use review and is moving toward or into construction. The records don't confirm this.
What it could mean nearby
- A building of this size would likely add daily employee and visitor trips on Rivervale Road. No traffic study was found.
- The records give no details on jobs, tenants, parking, or utilities.
Where it stands
A building permit was filed with the county in March 2024, which usually means local land-use approvals are done and construction can start once the permit is issued. Next steps are normally inspections during construction, then a certificate of occupancy.
