The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records describe a new storage building of about 50,050 square feet at 999 Willow Grove St in Hackettstown. It was classed as a moderate-hazard storage use, meaning the goods kept inside carry some fire risk.
Trade press reports describe what appears to be the same project. A developer bought a roughly 9.5-acre site there and built a one-story industrial building of about 50,000 square feet. It has tall ceilings, four loading doors and about an acre of outdoor storage. A smaller, older industrial building had previously stood at the address.
In January 2026 the finished building was reported sold for $13 million to a Brooklyn-based mobile accessories maker. No news of opposition was found. No local hearing records were found either.
What it could mean nearby
- The site is under two miles from Route 46 and under five miles from Interstate 80, so truck traffic likely uses main roads, according to trade reports.
- Four loading doors suggest regular truck deliveries.
- An owner-occupant could bring jobs, but no hiring figures were found.
Where it stands
Press reports say the building has been built and sold, so approvals appear to be finished. The latest county filing is dated 2024-10-02. Remaining steps are usually final inspections and occupancy by the new owner.
- Jan 2026 Sale of the finished building for $13 million reported
