County planning records show a filing for a new business-use building of about 18,000 square feet on Block 394, Lot 26.03 in Toms River Township, Ocean County. The county lists it as office space.
The records don't say what is on the site now, who would occupy the building, or how many floors it would have. No developer website, news story, township agenda or hearing notice could be tied to this lot, so no opposition, approvals or tenants are known.
An 18,000-square-foot building is mid-sized. It is roughly the size of a small professional or medical office building. A project this size usually needs township planning board review of its site layout, parking, drainage and driveway access.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and parking effects are unknown. Office buildings of this size usually bring weekday commuter trips, and the township reviews driveway access and parking.
- Construction and later occupancy could bring some short-term building jobs and ongoing office jobs. The number is not stated in the records.
- Effects on schools and open space are unlikely to be large for a non-residential building, but the records say nothing on this.
Where it stands
A filing for the project was made with the county on 2025-07-22. No township approval or hearing record was found online. Projects like this usually go before the township planning board for site plan review, then to construction permits if approved.
