County records list a restaurant building of about 114,840 sq ft on Block 8801, Lot 10.01 in Hanover Township. The recorded construction cost is roughly $1.1 million. That cost is very low for a building this large, so the square footage may be a data-entry error.
No web source was found that names Lot 10.01. A search turned up a proposed restaurant on neighboring Block 8801 lots (Lots 10 and 11) along Route 10. That proposal was far smaller, at about 7,655 sq ft. Because the lot number does not match, it is not treated as this project. Nothing was found on what is on the site now, or on any opposition, approvals or occupant.
What it could mean nearby
- Nothing specific is known about traffic, jobs, schools or utilities, because no project documents were found.
- A building of the recorded size would normally need a traffic and parking review, but the size figure is unverified.
Where it stands
The county shows a filing dated 2024-08-28, and no public hearing or approval record was found online. Next steps usually involve confirming the plans with the township construction office and, if variances are needed, a planning board hearing.
