A new office building of about 55,200 square feet is proposed at 39 West Northfield Road in Livingston Township, Essex County, New Jersey. County planning records describe it as a new business building. They do not say who would occupy it or what is on the site now.
No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, hearing notice, or developer page about this specific project was found. Its approval status, any opposition, and the tenant are therefore unknown. The county filing dates from late February 2025.
