Toms River Center, LLC has filed a commercial site plan for a retail or commercial building of about 11,220 square feet on 2.33 acres along North Maple Avenue in Toms River Township. A site plan shows the building's placement, parking, driveways, lighting and drainage.
The county records don't say what is on the site now or who will occupy the building. A 2019 local news report said the township planning board approved a larger retail and office building from the same company. It described that building as about 33,000 square feet, on a vacant lot at North Maple Avenue and Route 9. The new filing's 11,220 square feet is close to the 11,200 square feet per floor reported for that earlier plan. The filing could therefore be a revised or reduced version, but no source confirms this. The article could not be opened in full, so these details come from a search summary.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and driveway access onto North Maple Avenue would likely be reviewed, because the site sits near a busy Route 9 corner according to the 2019 coverage.
- A building of about 11,000 square feet would probably bring a modest number of retail or office jobs, though the tenants are unknown.
- The 2019 report described the earlier site as a vacant lot, so the project could turn undeveloped land into a developed commercial property. This has not been confirmed for the current filing.
Where it stands
A commercial site plan was filed in the county record on 2026-05-27. No township hearing, approval or decision for this filing was found online. Next, the township reviews the plan, the planning board usually holds a public hearing, and permits follow if it is approved.
