The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county record describes a new low-hazard storage building of about 596,443 square feet on Block 255, Lot 5.03 in Carneys Point Township. That is roughly the footprint of more than ten football fields. Published coverage of the Rockefeller Group Logistics Center at Carneys Point reports a building of exactly this size. The match rests on that size, because no source cites the block and lot number.
The logistics center has two warehouses, of 596,443 and 530,000 square feet, on a 141-acre site near Forest Lane and Route 40. Trade press reported a groundbreaking in May 2024. The buildings have 40-foot interior heights and parking for cars and trailers. Delivery was slated for early 2025. A leasing listing shows the larger building as divisible and available in 2026. No tenant for it was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck and trailer traffic would use Route 40 and Forest Lane. The site is about 2.7 miles from I-295 Exit 4, according to trade coverage.
- The site has parking for 658 cars and 328 trailers, which points to steady daily vehicle activity.
- The developer and press have not published reliable job counts for this building, so employment effects are unconfirmed.
Where it stands
Trade press reported construction under way in 2024, so approvals appear to have been granted. No township approval document for this lot was found. The building was being marketed for lease in 2026, and the next steps are finishing construction and signing a tenant.
