The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A new storage building of about 119,028 square feet is proposed on Block 54, Lot 9 in Barnegat Township. County records list it as a moderate-hazard storage use with a reported construction cost of about $6.05 million. That is a very large single building, roughly the size of two big-box stores.
Public township agendas show an application for the same lot, at West Bay Avenue near Brookville Road, from 1490 West Bay Avenue Realty, LLC. It was listed at the township planning board's May 28, 2024 meeting. The agenda describes a conditional use and a preliminary and final major site plan. An Ocean County Planning Board approvals list is also reported to describe the use as self-storage. The page text could not be read directly, so the match to this exact building is likely but not fully confirmed. No news coverage, opposition or named occupant was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: a building this size could add trucks and customer trips on West Bay Avenue and Brookville Road, but no traffic study was found.
- Jobs: storage facilities usually employ few people, and no staffing figures were found.
- Homes and schools: no housing is proposed, so there should be no direct effect on schools.
Where it stands
A township planning board application for this lot was on the May 2024 agenda, apparently for a decision or a formal written resolution. The latest county filing is dated May 21, 2025. Next steps usually include any remaining county or state permits, then building permits and construction.
