The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a building permit for a 190,132 sq ft business-use building at 257 Wanaque Ave in Pompton Lakes. That is a very large building, roughly the size of a big warehouse or office complex. The reported construction cost is about $14.6 million. The latest filing is dated February 2024.
The records do not say what is on the site now, who will use the building, or whether it is an office, warehouse or something else. The "office" label comes from the county's category and may not match how the building will be used. The reported cost is low for a building this size, so the figures may be partial or may cover only part of the work.
No news coverage, borough meeting records or developer page specific to this project were found.
