Construction Starts At Ridge Road Facility In South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – Construction on the existing 145,000 square feet industrial facility in 461 Ridge Road began today.

The facility will undergo a renovation and a 65,000 square feet expansion. Work is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

The work is being undertaken by Woodmont Industrial Partners in partnership with EverWest Real Estate Investors.

“New Jersey’s Exit 8A submarket affords access to 33 percent of the U.S. population in a 24-hour drive time, making it an ideal location for companies looking to decrease transportation time and costs,” Anthony Amadeo, Executive Vice President of Woodmont, said in a statement.

“We truly value our relationship with EverWest and are proud to partner with them on this project to further contribute to the supply of quality industrial space in a highly resilient market that continues to be in high demand.”

The property will feature surface parking, 30 loading doors, four drive-in doors, and 32' ceiling heights within the expanded areas. Woodmont and EverWest acquired the 12-acre site in December 2020.

Since 2013, the site was occupied by paint recycling company GDB. The 12-acre site is 5 miles from NJ Turnpike and less than 3 miles from Rt. 130.

In December 2021, the township’s planning board approved an application seeking preliminary site plan approval with bulk variances to construct the 65,000 square feet expansion to the warehouse.
