History

The subject of the Community Workshops is 2300 Route 1, a 212 acre site bounded by US Route 1, Commerce Road, and the Northeast Corridor Passenger Rail Line. This property is commonly known as the Johnson & Johnson North Brunswick Campus. North Brunswick TOD Associates, LLC, a major New Jersey developer, currently has an agreement under which it may elect to purchase the property.

The rectangular site benefits from over 4,000 feet of frontage on US Route 1 and over 5,000 feet of frontage on the Northeast Corridor Rail Line. The primary access points to the property are full access, signalized intersections at Commerce Drive to the north and Aaron Road on the south end of the property.

The office, manufacturing and research facility was constructed in 1955 and expanded in the 1970’s and again in the1980’s to encompass the current 1,133,000 square feet of space under roof. 2300 Route 1 has been zoned I-2 Industrial for many years with manufacturing, research and testing, office, medical clinics, hotels, warehouse and distribution uses permitted. The I-2 zone provides for a 75 foot height limit with density and coverage limits that would provide for in excess of 3.6 million square feet of space and associated parking.

As the community works through developing a new Master Plan for the Township, it is hoped the Community Workshops will serve to stimulate discussion on choices that can lead to the creation of a great place in North Brunswick.
