Press Release 10/1/21

SOUTH AMBOY – The South Amboy Planning Board has unanimously approved a new warehouse facility at 111 Main Street in the City.  Woodmont properties is slated to construct a 152,000 square foot warehouse distribution facility on 22 acres in the Broadway/Main Street redevelopment zone.

Founded in 1963 and based in Fairfield, NJ, Woodmont Properties is one of the region’s leading developers of residential and commercial real estate.  No stranger to South Amboy, Woodmont opened Woodmont Cove, a residential development, in 2017.

When asked for comment Woodmont Executive Vice President Stephen Santola said, “South Amboy understands redevelopment like few other towns in New Jersey.  They have a vision and negotiate fairly and firmly to see that vision come to light.  It is always a pleasure to work with a municipality that follows through on its commitments an expects the redeveloper to do the same.” 

In the past few years South Amboy has been experiencing intense interest from commercial and residential developers due to its close proximity to major highways and its location on the shores of the Raritan Bay.

“This project will be constructed with union labor and will bring additional jobs to the City.  It will also provide environmental remediation to a brownfield site and add another piece to the revitalization of our waterfront” said Mayor Fred Henry.  

“The northern part of the City is adjacent to major highways making it an ideal location for warehousing while the southern end with its easy access to the Raritan Bay waterfront makes it a very desirable location for residential developers” said Business Administrator Glenn Skarzynski.
