Route 22 Warehouse Application Withdrawn In Bridgewater

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — An application by Signature Acquisitions, LLC to tear down four, three-story buildings off Route 22 and build two warehouse buildings in Bridgewater has been withdrawn, announced Councilman Timothy Ring on Tuesday.

"I have been informed that earlier today the lawyer representing Signature Acquisitions called the Bridgewater Township Planner to notify the town that they are withdrawing their application," said Ring.

Ring added that the township is still waiting to receive written notification of the withdrawal.

The initial application for Block 206 Lot 3 off Route 22 at the Center Pointe Office Building was seeking to build two warehouse buildings, one with a net floor area of 142,000 square feet and one with a net floor area of 138,000 square feet.

Two driveways were also proposed along Route 22, and one driveway was proposed along Jackson Street. Multiple variances were being sought.

The application received backlash from Bridgewater Township residents along with the borough of Somerville.

Somerville passed an ordinance in July 2022 that banned trucks weighing over four tons and warehouse-affiliated trucks that may have to use the county’s Main Street or banned side streets to travel to and from the proposed warehouse site, Sullivan said during a Jan. 17 borough council meeting.

This is the second application before the Zoning Board of Adjustment withdrawn in the last month.
