The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The project is a new warehouse of about 420,000 square feet at 825 Sloan Ave in Hamilton Township. It sits on the former Congoleum flooring plant site, which closed in 2014 and was later cleared. The site had known contamination.
The developer, Lincoln Equities Group, is building the warehouse without a tenant lined up. News coverage describes 40-foot ceilings, 84 loading docks and a large parking lot. The building could hold one user or several. A $60.8 million construction loan was announced in August 2024.
Township approval was won after legal disputes. The Planning Board first denied the plan, a court overturned that, and the plan was approved in 2023. Construction had started by 2025, and a late-2025 report said completion was expected in the coming months. No tenant has been publicly named.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic is expected to rise on Sloan Avenue and near the Hamilton train station, according to local coverage.
- The tenant is unknown, so the township mayor said the traffic and other effects will depend on who occupies it.
- The site is at an I-295 interchange, which should give trucks direct highway access.
- No job count was found in the sources.
Where it stands
The project appears to be approved and built or nearly built, with completion reported as expected around late 2025 to early 2026. What usually follows is final inspections and occupancy approval, then a tenant moving in. Any tenant fit-out or change in use could need further township review.

How to comment officially
For this project: The Hamilton Township Planning Board handled the approvals and meets publicly, with agendas on the township website; since the project is already approved, there may be few formal chances to comment unless changes are proposed.
This is a construction permit, which comes after the town's land use approvals, so the public hearing stage is usually over.
- New projects in Hamilton Township go before its planning board or zoning board of adjustment at public hearings, where anyone can speak and the testimony goes on the record. Watch the agendas for the next ones.
