A significant new chapter is unfolding along Jersey City’s industrial waterfront, where the long-dormant former New York Daily News printing plant is being reimagined into one of the region’s most advanced logistics hubs. The Goodman Logistics Center Jersey City, a two-building, next-generation warehouse complex from the internationally recognized Goodman Group, is now moving through the development process and is slated for full delivery by late 2026. The project brings renewed momentum to an area already experiencing steady commercial growth and sits within one of the most strategically connected transportation corridors in the Northeast.
Located at 125 Theodore Conrad Drive, the 17-acre site is being reshaped to accommodate approximately 427,000 square feet of modern industrial capacity. The plan calls for two distinct structures: a primary building measuring just over 300,000 square feet and a secondary facility of roughly 122,000 square feet. Together, they are engineered to support a diverse array of industrial and supply-chain operators, from high-precision manufacturers to logistics providers to food and beverage distributors seeking robust infrastructure in a high-density urban market.
Goodman’s design incorporates the technical requirements of today’s industrial tenants, including high-capacity electrical systems, fortified flooring designed for heavy equipment, expanded trailer storage, 47 loading docks to streamline throughput, and 150 on-site vehicle spaces. With demand for well-located industrial space continuing to intensify across North Jersey, the project reflects an effort to deliver both scale and specialized functionality within proximity to major population centers.
Location remains one of the property’s defining advantages. Positioned minutes from Interstate 78, Route 1&9, the New Jersey Turnpike, the Holland Tunnel, and Port Newark, the complex is poised to serve as a powerful distribution gateway for companies targeting the broader Northeast corridor. More than 20 million consumers are reachable within a short drive, making the site particularly appealing for operations that require rapid, predictable access to regional markets. The elevated vantage points across the site also offer views toward Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, underscoring the property’s placement at the center of a world-class commercial landscape.
Following comprehensive demolition work and planning approvals secured in late 2025, the Goodman Group moved into the active construction phase with an eye toward establishing one of Jersey City’s most modernized industrial campuses. The development arrives at a moment when demand for well-positioned warehouse and logistics facilities continues to expand throughout New Jersey, driven by e-commerce, manufacturing reinvestment, and a tightening urban industrial market.
This project also contributes to the ongoing revitalization of Jersey City’s west side, a district increasingly recognized for significant commercial activity, long-term investment, and adaptive reuse of legacy industrial properties.

As construction progresses toward its targeted 2026 completion, the Goodman Logistics Center Jersey City is positioned to become a vital addition to the region’s industrial framework, reinforcing New Jersey’s role as a premier logistics corridor and extending new opportunities for businesses seeking modern, high-access facilities in one of the country’s most competitive markets.
