Burlington County holds 56.1 million square feet of the industrial space Cushman & Wakefield tracks, more than any other county we buy in and nearly twice Philadelphia's 28.9 million. Five New Jersey Turnpike interchanges sit in the county: Exits 4, 5, 6, 6A and 7.

Do you buy warehouses and industrial buildings in Burlington County?

Yes. Off a Turnpike exit or in a river town, Direct Warehouse Buyers buys in all 40 Burlington County municipalities. That includes a distribution building near Exit 5 in Westampton, a plant in Florence or Burlington Township, or flex space in Mount Laurel or Moorestown. A truck yard in Pemberton Township fits too. Vacant or leased, any size or condition, we buy as-is.

Older buildings in the river towns, small industrial units and sites with tanks all fit. So do buildings with a tenant on an old lease or a roof near the end of its life. See what we buy for the full list.

What does it cost to sell an industrial building in Burlington County?

The seller pays New Jersey's Realty Transfer Fee when the deed is recorded. When Class 4A commercial property sells for over $1 million, the seller also pays the Graduated Percent Fee, 1% to 3.5% of the full price; Class 4B industrial property doesn't. Selling a controlling interest in the company that owns a Class 4A property can bring the Controlling Interest Transfer Tax instead. We add no commission or fees.

Some owners would rather sell the company that holds the building. New Jersey's Controlling Interest Transfer Tax applies when a controlling interest in a company that owns Class 4A commercial property sells for over $1 million. Since July 10, 2025, the seller has owed it. If you're weighing that route, ask your accountant how the tax would apply. Our written offer spells out who pays each cost.

Our FAQ lists the Graduated Percent Fee's brackets. If you're also weighing a listing, our side-by-side look at selling direct and listing shows what a broker's commission adds.

To see both fees and a sample seller's net side by side, read our guide to what selling really costs.

Property taxes in Burlington County's industrial towns

Property taxes are part of what a buyer weighs. The general rate, per $100 of assessed value, is the rate used to compute the bill. The effective rate restates each town's rate as if all property were assessed at full value, so towns can be compared. Among the ten below, Moorestown's 2025 effective rate was lowest at 1.842 and Burlington City's highest at 2.978.

Does my Burlington County municipality require a certificate when I sell?

Several do, so confirm the rule with your municipality. Burlington Township requires the owner to apply for a certificate of continued occupancy, with an inspection, before any nonresidential building is sold. Riverside requires a certificate of occupancy before any change in ownership of a commercial or industrial establishment. Moorestown requires every seller to get a certificate for change in occupancy or ownership before closing.

Moorestown's page also says sellers need a Certificate of Compliance from its fire prevention office. Florence Township's housing page describes its program as residential, which doesn't match the code's wording, so we confirm the current practice with the township. Palmyra's sales certificate covers residences only. Willingboro's resale rule is written for dwellings, but the township's inspection forms page also lists a certificate of continued occupancy application for businesses, so we check with the township.

We couldn't confirm the current rules for Mount Laurel, Evesham, Cinnaminson, Delran, Bordentown Township, Mansfield, Westampton, Lumberton or Hainesport. We check those with the township before we set a closing date. Because we buy as-is, we factor what an inspection finds into our offer. Riverside, for one, requires life, health, safety and welfare violations to be fixed before ownership changes. If yours does, we'll go over those items with you before we set a closing date.

Does ISRA apply when I sell an industrial building in Burlington County?

It can. New Jersey's Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) applies when the real property where a covered industrial establishment operates is sold, or the establishment closes. It requires notice to the Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) within five days. For a sale, that's five days after signing the agreement. The sale can close once the owner or operator files a Remediation Certification backed by a funding source, and the cleanup continues afterward.

An environmental professional can tell you whether the business on your site is covered. Our FAQ explains the three tests for ISRA coverage, and our ISRA guide covers the triggers and the routes to closing in more detail.

Contaminated land here does get reused. The former Roebling Steel plant in Florence Township, a 200-acre site used mainly to make steel products from 1906 until 1982, is an EPA Superfund site. EPA's 2024 five-year review said the main plant area was uncapped (not covered with a protective cap) and available for redevelopment. A New Jersey Transit River Line station sits next to the site. Open cleanup cases go into our offer, though any ISRA filings remain the owner's or operator's responsibility.

Where are Burlington County's industrial areas?

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) names eight freight centers in Burlington County in its 2025 update. Seven are distribution and logistics centers: NJTP (New Jersey Turnpike) Exit 5, NJTP Exit 6A, NJTP Exit 7-Bordentown, Mansfield, Hainesport, Delanco and Cinnaminson-Delran. Moorestown is a local manufacturing and distribution center, and the high tech Exit 4 center is shared with Camden County.

Mansfield is new to DVRPC's 2025 list, and Delanco and Hainesport were reclassified in the update.

The Turnpike, I-295, US 130 and the bridges

Exit 4 serves Route 73 in Mount Laurel, and Exit 5 serves Burlington-Mount Holly Road in Westampton. At Exit 6 in Mansfield, I-95 joins the Turnpike and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension leads west to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Exit 6A serves US 130 near Florence, and Exit 7 serves US 206 in Bordentown Township. I-295 runs through the county too, meeting US 130 at Exit 57 in Bordentown Township. US 130 runs northeast through Cinnaminson, Delran, Burlington Township, the City of Burlington and Florence into Mansfield, bypassing Bordentown to the east. The Burlington County Bridge Commission runs eight bridges, with tolls on the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge and the Burlington-Bristol Bridge to Pennsylvania.
