The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
A storage building of about 98,667 square feet is proposed at 372 Route 46 in Mountain Lakes Borough. County records put the construction cost at about $6.5 million. The records do not say what is on the site now, and no tenant or operator was found.
Borough board records show the site was linked to a storage-facility application from 2022. It was filed under the name Highview Commercial and later called Mountain Lakes Storage. In November 2022 the Zoning Board of Adjustment granted waivers on parking, sign size and the planted buffer. In March 2024 a contract purchaser asked for more time to get the outside agency approvals needed to build. The records also mention a front setback of about 100 feet where 150 feet is required.
The search found no news coverage and no developer project page. It also did not show whether the extension was granted or whether this 2026 county filing is the same plan.
What it could mean nearby
- The building would sit on Route 46, a state highway, so truck and customer traffic would be a likely review topic. The records found do not include a traffic study.
- The waivers granted in 2022 covered the planted buffer between the site and its neighbors, so the buffer is one point to check in the plans.
- Storage buildings usually bring few permanent jobs and no new homes or school students, though the sources found do not confirm this for the project.
Where it stands
The county received a filing on 2026-02-18, so the plan appears to be moving through review. The latest borough action found is a March 2024 extension request, and the outcome was not found. The next step is usually any remaining borough board approval, then outside agency permits, then building permits.
