No developer website, news story, or meeting record could be confirmed for this exact project. The records found do not say who would use the building, what is on the site now, or whether anyone has objected.
A Linden Planning Board notice appears to list this address in a rezoning item with nearby Pleasant Street, West Edgar Road and Smith Street properties. That page could not be opened and checked, so it is not relied on here.
What it could mean nearby
- A building of this size (about 99,000 sq ft) would likely add employee, visitor and delivery trips on and around Pleasant Street.
- A new commercial building could bring jobs, but the records do not say how many or what kind.
Where it stands
