The full picture AI research · Nov 2, 2026
A single storage and distribution building of about 775,000 square feet is proposed in Secaucus, near Route 3 and the Turnpike. Public reporting points to the Meadowlands Logistics Center at 100 Paterson Plank Road, on a site known as the Mori Tract. The county record and the news article match on size and town. The article does not say where the site sits relative to Route 3, so the match is likely but not confirmed.
The site is about 136 acres of wooded marshland, with roughly 70 acres that can be built on. It is one of the last undeveloped parcels in town. The developer is clearing it and cleaning up contamination. The plans list 187 truck dock doors, 436 car spaces and 232 trailer spaces.
No tenant has been named. The developer has said the building could suit a distribution user or a data center. The town's mayor has said it will not be a data center, but the developer has left that option open.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic could rise: the plans include 187 dock doors and 232 trailer spaces. The article did not discuss traffic studies.
- Roughly 70 buildable acres of one of the last undeveloped wooded wetland tracts in town would be developed.
- The developer cites nearby fiber lines and two electrical substations. This suggests heavy power use if the building became a data center.
- The town reportedly has no initial objection, because the land is zoned industrial.
Where it stands
The state's Meadowlands land-use authority gave preliminary approval in December 2025. The county filing is dated September 2026. Next come final approval from that authority, then construction permits from the town.
- Sep 22, 2026 Latest filing in the county planning record
- Feb 5, 2026 Local news reported on the plan and the developer's goal of signing a tenant that year
