The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records describe a new storage building of about 471,000 square feet at 500 Market Street in Perth Amboy. That is roughly the footprint of several large supermarkets combined. It is under a building permit, so the main approvals appear to be done and the project is moving to construction.
Online sources describe a warehouse of the same size, 471,231 sq ft, at nearby 555 Market Street. It is being built by Kurv Industrial as part of the city's Gateway redevelopment area. The address differs slightly from the county record, so the match is likely but not confirmed. Reports say construction began in late July 2026. They also say the developer is dedicating about 18.6 acres next to it to the city for a new park, and that completion is expected around spring 2027. A broker listing offers the space for lease, either whole or split, so no tenant has been named.
What it could mean nearby
- Warehouse use usually brings truck and worker traffic to Market Street and nearby roads. The sources found do not give traffic study details.
- Reports say about 18.6 acres of adjacent land will be given to the city for a public park, which would add open space.
- Listings mention roughly 240 parking spaces, which suggests a sizable workforce once the building is occupied. No job counts were found.
Where it stands
