The county records describe a new storage and distribution building of about 574,480 square feet at 198 Democrat Rd in East Greenwich Township. The reported construction cost is $29.2 million. That is roughly the footprint of ten football fields.
Public coverage shows the developer is Prologis, a logistics real estate company. In March 2025 it publicly unveiled the finished building with local officials. It has a 40-foot interior ceiling height, about 5,000 square feet of offices, two stormwater ponds, and a sustainability certification (LEED Silver). The site is close to I-295 and Route 130.
The building appears to be complete, not just proposed. One article did not name a tenant. A search snippet suggested a food-ingredients company, but no page confirmed it. No news or township agenda coverage was found on opposition or on what the site was used for before.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is likely on Democrat Rd and the roads leading to I-295 and Route 130, though no traffic study was found.
- The developer expects the building to bring jobs, but no job count was given for this site.
- Two on-site stormwater ponds are meant to manage rain runoff from the large roof and paved areas.
- The developer also controls land next door at 179 Democrat Rd, where more warehouses are planned.
Where it stands
The building appears finished. It was publicly unveiled in March 2025, after the county's last filing in January 2024. Next steps would be a tenant moving in and any final township sign-offs. No approval documents or hearing records were found online.
