County records show a building permit for a storage building (a warehouse) of about 956,568 square feet in Pilesgrove Township, Salem County. The reported construction cost is about $30.4 million. That is roughly the area of 16 football fields.
Trade press describes what appears to be the same building. NorthPoint Development, a Missouri-based developer, broke ground in spring 2024 on a 954,701-square-foot industrial building. It is part of the Turnpike 1 Trade Center. Reported features include 96 loading docks, parking for 536 cars and 244 trailers, and a small office area. Completion was scheduled for late 2024. The match rests on size and timing, because the article gives no street address.
No tenant was named in the sources found. The article did not say what the land was used for before, and no opposition or hearing coverage turned up.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely to rise, since a building this size has 96 loading docks and trailer parking for 244.
