The project is a large two-story building at 1700 Macarthur Boulevard in Mahwah. County records list it for business use and also for single-family detached use. It covers about 144,600 square feet and has a reported construction cost of about $13.5 million.
Township planning board agendas describe the proposal as an industrial building. It would come with parking, access roads, lighting, landscaping, utilities and stormwater controls. The plans also involve moving a large amount of soil, over 1,000 cubic yards. The agendas do not say who will occupy the building. No news coverage or opposition was found.
The planning board took up the original application in December 2023. It took up an amended version, with a resolution of approval, in April 2025. The 'single-family' label in county records does not match the industrial description in the township agendas.
What it could mean nearby
- Moving soil and building on the site will bring construction activity and truck traffic while work is underway.
- An industrial building could bring jobs and delivery traffic to Macarthur Boulevard once it opens. The records do not give the number of jobs or trips.
- Stormwater controls and new utility connections are part of the approved site work.
Where it stands
The Mahwah Planning Board appears to have approved an amended site plan in April 2025, and the county filed a permit record in December 2025. The usual next steps are construction permits, inspections and then occupancy approval.
