The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a proposal for a new office-type building at 31 Central Ave in Tenafly Borough, Bergen County. The building would be about 13,464 square feet, roughly the size of several large houses combined. The reported construction cost is about $1.9 million.
The records don't say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or whether anything is being demolished. The latest county filing is dated April 21, 2025.
A web search found no news coverage, borough meeting agendas, hearing notices, developer pages or approvals that clearly concern this site. Nothing is known online about opposition, approvals or tenants. This explanation therefore rests on the county records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- A new 13,464 sq ft office building could bring more daytime visitors, employees and parking demand to Central Ave. The records give no traffic or parking details.
- Business use could mean new jobs on site, but the records don't say how many or what kind.
Where it stands
A county filing was made in April 2025, but no borough approval or hearing could be confirmed online. In Tenafly, a new commercial building usually goes through site plan review by the borough's land use board, and sometimes a variance request, before building permits are issued.

We searched the web for this project but found nothing beyond the county record, so this explanation is based on the filing alone. Researched by AI from public sources on Nov 1, 2026. It can make mistakes, so check the linked sources and the municipality before relying on it.
