County records show a proposal for a new school building of about 40,080 square feet on Block 1501, Lot 7 in Saddle River Borough, Bergen County. The latest county filing is dated April 10, 2025.
No online source was found that clearly ties to this lot, so the records do not say who would run the school, what is on the site now, or how many students it would serve.
Saddle River Day School has been reported to be planning a new academic building in the borough. That building is about 32,000 square feet, a different size from this filing. No source links it to Block 1501, Lot 7, so it is not treated as a confirmed match.
