A new business building of about 38,112 square feet is proposed on Block 6303, Lot 1.01 in Paramus Borough, Bergen County. County records list it as office use. The reported construction cost is $11.3 million. The county's latest filing on it is dated September 8, 2025, and it is described as a permit for new construction.
The records don't say what is on the lot today, who will occupy the building, or how tall it will be. Searches of news coverage, borough agendas and developer sites found nothing clearly tied to this block and lot. No opposition, approvals or tenants were found online, so the details above come from county records alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and parking effects can't be judged because no site plan or traffic study was found.
- An office building of this size would likely bring some daytime workers and jobs to the area, but no tenant or job count is public.
- No records were found on schools, open space or utilities.
Where it stands
A construction permit filing was recorded with the county in September 2025, which suggests local review was likely done or well along. No public hearing or approval record was found online. Construction normally follows permit issuance, then inspections and a certificate of occupancy.
