The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a permit for a new business-use building of about 164,200 square feet at 600 W Edgar Rd in Linden, Union County. The reported construction cost is $15.1 million. The county classifies it as office space. Large buildings of this kind in the area are often industrial or warehouse space, so the final use is not confirmed.
The records do not say what is on the site now. No developer, future occupant, hearing or news coverage tied to this address was found online. Other projects along West Edgar Road turned up in searches, but none matched this address or size.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: a building this size would likely add car and truck trips on W Edgar Rd. No traffic study was found.
- Jobs: a building of this size could host a meaningful number of workers. The records do not say how many.
