The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A single warehouse of about 214,270 square feet is proposed at 261 Paulsboro Road in Woolwich Township. County records call it a moderate-hazard storage building and put the construction cost at about $12 million.
Trade press from 2023 describes the same site as a roughly 14-acre parcel. The developer, Dermody Properties, bought it from the previous owner with approvals for an industrial building already in place. The plans described then included 39 loading docks, 19 trailer stalls and 169 car parking spaces. The articles describe no buildings on the land.
No opposition was found. The developer's marketing and a broker listing show the building offered for lease, so no tenant was identified. A broker listing gives a 2025 completion year.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely: the plans include 39 loading docks and 19 trailer stalls.
- The site is near the NJ Turnpike and I-295, which could help keep trucks on major roads.
- Marketing materials mention a 30-year PILOT tax arrangement, which could change how much the project pays in local property taxes.
- The number of jobs is unknown because no tenant has been named.
Where it stands
The 2023 sale reports described the site as fully approved. The November 2024 county filing is likely a later step, such as a building or construction-related review. Next steps would be permits, construction and finding a tenant. No township approval resolution or minutes were found.
