Every project moving in Warren right now, in one table
Eight projects with an approval, a contract or a deadline on the books, from the 262 unit affordable housing obligation to a $7.5 million ballot question, with what happens next for each.
Eight projects in Warren have an approval, a contract or a hard deadline on the books right now. The largest is the affordable housing program, a 262 unit Fourth Round obligation satisfied on paper by 197 units plus 65 bonus credits across six components, with a financing deadline of March 15, 2027. The most visible are the $1,444,388.88 Town Hall restoration and this year's 24 street, $945,800 paving program. The next public decision is the $7.5 million Hofheimer House question on the November 3 ballot. Everything in this report comes from adopted ordinances, filed agreements, executed contracts and township minutes, each covered in detail in an earlier post linked below.
Warren 07059 has covered each of these stories as it broke. This page pulls the whole pipeline into one place, ordered by what happens next. It is the first in a recurring series: when the pipeline moves, the table gets a new row and a new date.

Housing is the center of gravity
The single biggest force shaping what gets built in Warren is the Fourth Round affordable housing obligation. The mediation agreement Warren signed in December set the number at 262 units, still under appeal, and satisfies it with 197 units plus 65 bonus credits spread across six components. The zoning to make that real arrived this year: seven ordinances creating districts AH-9 through AH-12, an affordable housing development fee, and a swap of hotel use for age restricted inclusionary housing.
The contested site is the Bardy property at 149 Washington Valley Road, where nineteen residents raised environmental, traffic, flooding, school and sewer concerns at the April 16 meeting. No application on that site has been heard yet. When one is filed, it will be the most watched hearing in town.
What the township took off the table
Warren banned data centers in every zoning district with Ordinance 26-19, adopted June 18 on a 4 to 1 vote. No application was pending when it passed. Whatever happens on the township's industrial land, it will not be that.
Public projects with public money
The Town Hall restoration is under contract at not to exceed $1,444,388.88, with the Garden State Municipal Joint Insurance Fund paying the contractor directly. The 24 street paving program is under way at a contract cost of $945,800. The Dealaman Trails and Pond improvement at 189 and 197 Mount Horeb Road carries a $1,140,160 appropriation whose final hearing is on the August 20 Committee agenda, backed by a $573,580 Green Acres request first covered in February.
The one the voters decide directly: the $7.5 million Hofheimer House question on the November 3 ballot. See the Warren Calendar for early voting dates.
The township publishes a Pending Applications and Plans page that would show any new site plan or subdivision application filed since these stories ran. It could not be reached at the time of writing, so this report covers projects with an adopted ordinance, filed agreement, executed contract or ballot placement, and may lag a brand new filing by a few days. The page is linked in the sources below.
Author's note
This table is deliberately conservative. A project earns a row when there is a public document behind it, not when there is a rumor. If you know of a filing that belongs here, send it to john@nexthomepremier.com and it will be checked against the record.
