The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A new building of about 118,199 square feet is planned at 20 Dock Road in Denville Township. The county filing labels it an office or business-use building. Trade press coverage of the same address describes it as an industrial or warehouse building of roughly 119,000 square feet.
According to that coverage, the developer broke ground on a building for a moving and storage company. It has a tall interior (about 36 feet), 18 loading-dock doors, and parking for cars and trailers. A further 57,457 square feet was reported as available to lease. The site plan was reported as approved without a variance because the use is allowed in the township's Dock Road Redevelopment district.
The county lists a reported construction cost of $8,695,200. The building's county label and the news description differ, so the final use may be warehouse or industrial.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck and trailer traffic could rise on Dock Road, because the plans reportedly include 18 loading docks and trailer parking.
- Jobs could come from the moving and storage occupant and from any tenant in the remaining space, but no job counts were found.
- The site is in a redevelopment district meant for industrial use, so the use matches what the township planned for the area.
Where it stands
The coverage found indicates the site plan was approved and construction has started, with completion reported for the fourth quarter. After that come inspections, a certificate of occupancy, and leasing of the remaining space. The exact year of the approval and groundbreaking could not be confirmed from the search results.
