FRANKLIN TWP., NJ-This Somerset County community’s zoning board has given its approval for construction of a 73,792-sf ShopRite supermarket on a vacant 13-acre site. Developer Corporate Development Enterprises of Mahwah, NJ hopes to be under construction by my-2006 and to have the store open by the spring of 2007.
That construction schedule is contingent upon getting additional approvals, according to CDE general counsel Peter Lanfrit. Those approvals must come from the Somerset County Planning Board, as well as such state agencies as the New Jersey DEP and the Delaware-Raritan River Canal Commission. The latter oversees historic parklands near the site at Elizabeth Ave. and Old New Brunswick Rd.
The ShopRite store, which will include nearly 400 parking spaces, is situated adjacent to Somerset Run, a 240-acre active adult community. According to Lanfrit, CDE and co-developer Steven Hittman, who owns the site, are also negotiating with Herr’s Foods to buy the latter’s adjacent site to expand the development site. According to Lanfrit, the developers have offered to relocate Herr’s elsewhere in the region.
