The county record describes a new office-type (business-use) building of about 198,500 square feet in Sayreville Borough, on Block 257.02, Lot 1. The reported construction cost is $28.2 million. The latest county filing is dated September 19, 2024.
The records reviewed do not say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or whether it has been approved. No developer website, news coverage, or hearing notice clearly tied to this exact project was found.
Block 257.02 sits in a part of Sayreville with other waterfront redevelopment activity. Those filings refer to a different lot (Lot 1.05) and give no building size. They could not be confirmed as the same project, so nothing from them is treated as fact here.
What it could mean nearby
- A building of this size would likely bring employees and delivery traffic. No traffic study was found, so the amount is unknown.
- Construction at a $28.2 million reported cost implies temporary construction jobs. Permanent job numbers are not stated in the records.
Where it stands
A county planning filing was recorded on 2024-09-19. Approval status could not be confirmed from public sources. A project like this normally needs local site plan approval, followed by construction permits.
