The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county records describe a new warehouse-style storage building of about 436,960 square feet at 395 Elizabeth Ave. in Franklin Township. That is roughly the size of several large supermarkets combined.
Public sources indicate the project has moved well beyond planning. The Franklin Township Planning Board approved a warehouse of exactly this size at Elizabeth Avenue and Grant Street on June 1, 2022. A trade-press report from 2026 says the developer, Prologis, has completed the building. It reportedly has loading docks, tall ceilings and parking for trucks and cars. A search summary says a maker of metal payment cards has leased about 199,000 square feet. That article could not be opened to confirm, so the tenant and lease details are unverified. No opposition was found in the coverage that could be read.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic on Elizabeth Avenue and nearby roads is likely, given the building's many loading docks and trailer parking. The sources read did not include a traffic study.
- Jobs are likely from the tenants, but no job counts were found.
- Other recent warehouse and storage approvals along Elizabeth Avenue suggest a growing industrial corridor.
Where it stands
The Planning Board approved the project in 2022, and a 2026 trade report says construction is complete and leasing is under way. Next steps are tenant move-ins and any further permits needed for each tenant's fit-out.
