County records describe a new storage building of about 101,487 square feet on Block 73, Lot 4.2 in South River Borough. The records list it as low-hazard storage. That means it is meant to hold ordinary goods, not dangerous materials. The reported construction cost is $6,520,000.
The records do not say what is on the site now, who will use the building, or whether it is warehouse space or self-storage.
No news coverage, borough agenda or minutes, or developer page could be tied to this block and lot. A self-storage project of about 105,000 square feet is being built at 696 Old Bridge Turnpike in South River. Its size is close, but the sources give no block or lot, and the figure is not identical. This page does not treat it as the same project.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and truck use depend on whether this is a warehouse or self-storage. The records do not say which.
- Job numbers, utility needs and stormwater plans are not stated in the county records.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-06-27. The records do not show whether the borough has approved it. Projects like this usually need a site plan review by the local land use board. A construction permit follows that review.
