The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A developer has filed plans for a new office building of about 59,000 square feet on roughly 2.4 acres at Franklin Boulevard and Cross Street in Lakewood Township, Ocean County. The filing was made by Divvone Equity Group, LLC, with KBA Engineering Services, LLC also named on it.
For scale, 59,000 square feet is roughly the floor area of several dozen average single-family homes combined. The county records do not say what is on the site now, how many floors the building will have, or who will use it.
No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, hearing notice, or developer project page was found for this project. Nothing is known online about opposition, approvals, or tenants.
What it could mean nearby
- Office use usually brings daily employee and visitor trips, so traffic and parking at Franklin Boulevard and Cross Street could be reviewed. The records give no traffic figures.
- A building of this size on 2.4 acres would add paved and built area. The records do not describe stormwater plans or open space.
- The records do not mention homes, school effects or utility needs. Office space could bring local jobs, but no job estimates were found.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2026-03-25, so the project is at the application stage. No local approval was found online. Next steps usually include the township's technical review and a public hearing before the local land use board.
