Industrial and Warehouse Space for Lease in Ridgefield, NJ

Where warehouse use is allowed in Ridgefield

Portions of Ridgefield fall within the Meadowlands District, where the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority administers N.J.A.C. 19:4. In the District, warehouse and distribution facilities are a permitted use in the Light Industrial A, Light Industrial B and Intermodal B zones. The Light Industrial A and B lists also allow accessory retail sales of products stored in those facilities. The official text is the current New Jersey Administrative Code; the section links here are public unofficial copies, and NJSEA’s posted courtesy copy is current only through August 19, 2019.

Ridgefield’s District H Marshland Zone and District I Public Utility Zone say their uses, regulations and provisions “shall be the same as those presently promulgated by the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Agency” (now NJSEA).

Outside the District, Chapter 390 applies. In District E Light Manufacturing, permitted uses include “warehousing, storage or other handling of materials within a completely enclosed building.” The O-7-MR Office Mid-Rise Zone permits “warehouse distribution centers and storage facilities, which may include the assembling or other handling and processing of materials and products,” and also permits research laboratories or office space combined with a warehouse and the distribution of products if the office or laboratory is at least 50% of the total floor area.

Source note: eCode360 lists three 2026 zoning amendments to Chapter 390 (Ord. Nos. 2546, 2555 and 2556, adopted August 17 to October 26, 2026) that may not yet be reflected in the sections cited here. Check them with the borough before relying on this summary.

Zoning text changes. For a specific lot, first confirm whether it sits in the Meadowlands District (NJSEA rules under N.J.A.C. 19:4) or under the municipal code, then confirm the district with the municipal zoning officer and, for District lots, with NJSEA before you sign.
