A new storage building of about 157,775 square feet is planned at 1 Volvo Dr in Rockleigh Borough, Bergen County. County records describe it as a low-hazard storage building. They put its construction cost at about $10.9 million. That is a large warehouse, roughly the size of two and a half football fields of floor space.
The address has long been tied to Volvo's North American offices. Volvo's regional headquarters moved to Mahwah in 2020, according to one article. No online source confirmed what stands on the site now, who owns it or who would use the new building.
No news coverage, hearing notices, meeting minutes, developer page or opposition was found for this proposal. This explanation rests on the county filing, which was last updated on 2024-02-20.
What it could mean nearby
- Warehouse use usually brings truck and delivery traffic, but no traffic study was found for this site.
- A building this size could provide some jobs, but the number of jobs is unknown.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-02-20. No borough approval or decision was found online. A project like this usually needs site plan approval from the borough planning board, and construction permits follow that approval.
