County records show a filing for a new mercantile (retail) building of about 112,431 square feet at 1490 Blackwood-Clem Road in Gloucester Township, Camden County. That is a large store, about the size of a big-box store or a grocery-anchored shopping center.
The records do not say who would occupy it, what is on the site now, or how much land is involved. No news coverage, township agenda or minutes, or developer page could be clearly tied to this address and project, so nothing is reported here about approvals or opposition.
Other retail projects along Blackwood-Clementon Road have appeared in local news. They were not matched to this filing, so they are not treated as part of it.
What it could mean nearby
- A retail building of this size could bring more shoppers and delivery trucks to Blackwood-Clementon Road. A traffic study would normally show how much.
- It could create retail jobs, but the records give no tenant or job count.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-02-13. Large retail buildings usually need township planning board review, including site plan approval, before building permits are issued. Public records found online did not show whether a hearing or approval has happened.
