The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County planning records show a filing for a business-use (office) building of about 13,872 square feet at 1400 Highway 35 in Ocean Township, Monmouth County. Highway 35 is a busy commercial road, and the filing was logged on January 8, 2026.
The records list a construction cost of only $4,000. That is far too low for a new building of this size. It probably reflects a placeholder figure, a change of use, or a small interior or site job, not a full new build. The records do not say what is on the site now.
No news coverage, township meeting agenda, hearing notice, developer page or tenant announcement could be tied to this address. Whether the project faces opposition or has approvals is unknown.
What it could mean nearby
- Highway 35 is a state highway, so any change in traffic or driveway access would likely need state review. The records do not say whether access would change.
- An office use usually brings daytime employees and customers. The records give no job count or tenant.
Where it stands
The county filing is dated January 8, 2026. No township hearing or approval could be found online. Projects like this typically go through township staff review and sometimes a Planning Board hearing, depending on whether the work is a new building, an addition or a change of use.
