The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County planning records show a proposal for a new business-use (office) building at the corner of Eagle Rock Avenue and Prospect Avenue in West Orange Township. The building would total about 133,000 square feet, which is roughly the size of a mid-sized suburban office complex.
The latest county filing is dated November 1, 2025. The records do not say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or how tall it would be.
No news coverage, township meeting agendas, developer project pages or permits were found that clearly match this site. Nearby office sales and other projects turned up in searches, but none was confirmed as the same project, so they are not used here.
What it could mean nearby
- A building of this size could add daily car trips to Eagle Rock Avenue and Prospect Avenue. No traffic study was found.
- It would likely bring office jobs, but no tenant or job count has been published.
- No information was found on utilities, open space or schools.
Where it stands
A county filing was recorded in November 2025. No local approval status was found online. Projects like this usually go to the township planning board for site plan review, and sometimes to the zoning board if variances are needed, with a public hearing before a vote.
