The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The developer plans a new warehouse of about 255,000 square feet at 400 Atrium Drive in Franklin Township. It is the larger of two buildings on a site of more than 30 acres. The second building would be about 115,000 square feet, for a combined total of roughly 370,000 square feet.
The site previously held a nearly 400,000 square foot office building and a large parking lot in an office park. Plans call for demolishing the office building. The larger warehouse is described as having a 40-foot interior height, 44 loading docks and two drive-in doors, with parking for cars and trailers.
The township Planning Board heard an application in 2023 to replace the office building with two warehouses. A summary excerpt suggests it was approved, but the date was not confirmed. A Woodmont-led venture announced in April 2025 that it was buying and redeveloping the site. No tenant has been named.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely to rise. The building has 44 loading docks, and the site is near the I-287/Exit 10 industrial area.
- Office space is being replaced with warehouse space, which changes the type of jobs and daily traffic patterns.
- No information was found on school, utility or open-space effects.
Where it stands
The Planning Board appears to have approved the warehouse plan in 2023, though that was not fully confirmed. The site changed hands in April 2025, and the usual next steps are building permits, demolition and construction, and then leasing. No construction start date was found.
