Do you buy warehouses and industrial buildings in Gloucester County?

Direct Warehouse Buyers buys anywhere in Gloucester County's 24 municipalities. That could be a warehouse in Pureland, a distribution building off US 322 in Woolwich, a manufacturing plant in Paulsboro or West Deptford, or a truck yard in Swedesboro. Vacant or leased, in any size or condition, Direct Warehouse Buyers buys it as-is.

Sites with an industrial past, older buildings on the Paulsboro and West Deptford riverfront and small shops in boroughs such as Pitman and Clayton all fit. So does a building with low ceilings, a tired roof or a tenant on an old lease. See what we buy for the full list.

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

As the seller, you pay New Jersey's Realty Transfer Fee, which rises in steps with the price. You also pay the Graduated Percent Fee on Class 4A commercial property sold for over $1 million: 1% to 3.5% of the full price. Class 4B industrial property isn't subject to it. Selling to us adds no commission and no fees.

That makes your building's tax class worth checking early. New Jersey's property classification rule describes Class 4B industrial property as land, or land and improvements, adaptable for industrial use, and it lists storage warehouses among its examples. The class the assessor actually assigned is the one on the municipal tax list. Our FAQ has each Graduated Percent Fee bracket.

The state's guidance says that for deeds submitted for recording on or after July 10, 2025, the law puts these fees on the seller. It treats a contract that assigns them to the buyer as a private legal arrangement. Where the fee applies, a deed with a stated price over $1 million won't be recorded until it's paid. Our written offer lists who pays each cost. Listing the building would add a broker's commission on top of these fees; see how a direct sale compares with listing.

Our cost guide compares Class 4A and Class 4B seller fees at five prices.

Property taxes in Gloucester County's industrial towns

Your bill is figured on the general rate, per $100 of assessed value. The effective rate is the state's measure for comparing towns: it assumes every town is assessed at 100% of value. The state says it isn't used to compute the bill. Logan Township's 2025 effective rate, 1.487, was the lowest in the table below, and Paulsboro's, 3.225, the highest.

Does my Gloucester County municipality require a certificate of occupancy when I sell?

Several do, and Logan Township's turns on the zone, so confirm yours with the municipality. Logan Township requires an application for a certificate of occupancy before a new owner or tenant occupies premises in a commercial or industrial zone. West Deptford requires a non-residential certificate of occupancy before settlement on any change of owner or tenant. Glassboro requires an approval of occupancy before commercial property changes hands.

Deptford's change-of-ownership form is written for dwelling units, and Woodbury publishes a $125 commercial certificate of occupancy application without saying what triggers it, so we ask the city. For a town not in the table, such as Woolwich or Greenwich, we look up the current rule with you. Some buildings have a life hazard use, which New Jersey's fire code rules require to be registered. If yours does, the new owner files for a new registration within 30 days of the transfer, and as the buyer, that filing is ours.

Does ISRA apply when I sell an industrial property in Gloucester County?

It can, if a covered industrial business operates on the property. Triggering events under New Jersey's Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) include selling the real property and closing operations. For a sale, the owner or operator notifies the Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) within five days after signing the sale agreement. Unless an exemption applies, the site's remediation must then be done under a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP).

Another party, such as the buyer, can agree to take on the cleanup. If the work isn't done, the law still holds the owner or operator responsible, so the purchase agreement spells out who does what. An environmental professional can explain what that means for your site. We buy sites where that cleanup is still open and price the work into our offer.

The riverfront from Paulsboro to Greenwich Township holds a refinery and the former Repauno industrial property. If your site has an industrial past, share what you know early, even if it's secondhand.

Our FAQ explains which businesses ISRA covers and how a sale can close before the cleanup is finished. Our ISRA guide for sellers goes further, with the rule's triggers and the penalties for skipping ISRA.

Where are Gloucester County's industrial areas?

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) names five freight centers in Gloucester County, none shared with another county. Logan-Pureland, Logan-Bridgeport and West Deptford are classed as distribution and logistics, and Paulsboro and Westville as heavy industrial. Logan-Bridgeport is new in the 2025 update.

Major sites

• Pureland Industrial Complex: WHYY described it in April 2022 as 3,000 acres of former farmland in Logan Township. Its Wikipedia article says I-295, US 322 and US 130 run through it.
• Paulsboro Marine Terminal: the South Jersey Port Corporation's terminal. The corporation says it acquired a defunct petrochemical tank farm in Paulsboro in 2005 and turned it into the terminal. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in January 2025 that the terminal opened in 2017.
• Paulsboro Refinery: PBF Energy's refinery covers about 950 acres on the Delaware River, with capacity to process 155,000 barrels a day. It makes mainly asphalt, jet fuel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel and base oils, according to the company's 2025 annual report.
• Repauno Port & Rail Terminal: at 200 North Repauno Avenue in Greenwich Township, on the former Chemours Repauno industrial site. FTAI Infrastructure owns it through its subsidiary Delaware River Partners. The terminal has a 180,000-barrel underground storage cavern, and in October 2025 FTAI announced approval for two more caverns of over 600,000 barrels each.
• US 322 in Woolwich Township: Dermody Properties broke ground in 2021 on LogistiCenter at Woolwich, a three-building park on 154 acres at US 322 and Locke Avenue in Woolwich Township.

The Commodore Barry Bridge, which opened on February 1, 1974, connects Chester, Pennsylvania, with Bridgeport in Logan Township; the Delaware River Port Authority runs it. The New Jersey Turnpike's Exit 2 serves US 322 in Woolwich Township. The county lists I-295, Routes 42 and 55, US 130 and the Atlantic City Expressway among its major routes. It says I-295 gives direct access to the Turnpike, I-76 and I-676.
