Apartments and grocery store, Marshall St

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

The developer, 540 Marshall, LLC, proposes about 84 apartments and a grocery store of roughly 25,520 square feet on Marshall Street in Phillipsburg. County records describe a site plan that would also change the zoning from multifamily to mixed-use, which allows homes and shops together.

Local news headlines from TAPinto describe the site as the former Norton business complex. They say the apartments are meant for residents 55 and older, and that earlier delays have been cleared. One report says a groundbreaking was planned for August. The article pages could not be opened, so these details come from search summaries and are unconfirmed. The grocery operator was not identified. No opposition was found.

What it could mean nearby

• Reusing a former commercial complex could replace a vacant or underused site with housing and a grocery store, adding a food shop close to residents.
• A grocery store would likely add delivery and customer trips on Marshall Street, though no traffic study was found.
• 84 apartments restricted to residents 55 and older would likely add few school-age children, if that restriction is confirmed.
• Construction and store operations could create temporary and permanent jobs, but no job counts were found.

Where it stands

Town records and local news suggest the project has been moving through local review since about 2022, and one report pointed to a groundbreaking. Whether construction has started could not be confirmed. Next steps usually include final approvals, permits and construction.
