The project is a single-story warehouse of about 326,087 square feet, known as Windsor 8 Logistics Center. It is on Block 22, Lot 5, at 399 Princeton-Hightstown Road (Route 571) in West Windsor, next to the East Windsor border. Trade press names Brookfield Properties as the developer. The county puts the construction cost at about $11.3 million.
The building is planned with about 57 loading dock doors, 2 drive-in doors, 163 car spaces and 73 trailer spaces. It appears to be built on speculation, meaning no tenant has been announced. The West Windsor Planning Board took up the site plan application in 2022. An East Windsor notice from October 2024 says the township had approved it and that some site clearing had started.
East Windsor officials and some West Windsor residents oppose it. Their concerns are stormwater and flooding, truck traffic, zoning and environmental effects.
What it could mean nearby
- Truck traffic: about 57 dock doors and 73 trailer spaces point to frequent trucks on Route 571, which East Windsor officials and residents have raised as a concern.
- Stormwater: opponents worry about drainage and flooding near the East Windsor border.
- Jobs: a warehouse of this size would bring some jobs, but the sources found give no job count.
- Land: part of the site has been cleared, so existing vegetation has been removed.
Where it stands
The township planning board took up the application in 2022, and an October 2024 notice describes it as approved with some final approvals still pending. Trade press in September 2024 reported a contractor was lined up, with completion expected around 2025. Because the latest county filing is from January 2025, construction may be underway or finished, but this was not confirmed.
