South Jersey Commercial Construction
REDCOM Design & Construction is expanding our commercial construction services into South Jersey. Based in Westfield, NJ with 42+ years of experience across Central and North Jersey, REDCOM now serves Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, and Atlantic counties with the same design-build expertise that has delivered hundreds of projects since 1982.

Why Is South Jersey a Growing Commercial Construction Market?
Several factors are driving commercial development in South Jersey.
Available Land
Compared to the built-out markets of North and Central Jersey, South Jersey still has developable land at lower per-acre costs. This is particularly attractive for industrial and warehouse projects that require large parcels with good highway access.
Transportation Infrastructure
South Jersey’s highway network provides strong logistics connectivity:
- NJ Turnpike – Direct route to North Jersey, New York, and the Port of Newark
- I-295 – North-south corridor connecting Camden County to Trenton and beyond
- I-76 / Route 42 – Direct access to Philadelphia and the Walt Whitman Bridge
- Atlantic City Expressway – East-west connection to the shore markets
- Route 130 / Route 73 – Major commercial corridors through Burlington and Camden counties
Philadelphia Proximity
South Jersey’s location across the Delaware River from Philadelphia gives businesses access to the Philadelphia metro labor pool, customer base, and business networks while operating under NJ’s regulatory framework.
Lower Construction Costs
South Jersey construction costs are generally 5-10% lower than North Jersey due to slightly lower labor rates and less constrained site conditions. Land costs can be 30-50% less than comparable parcels in Central or North Jersey.
What South Jersey Counties Does REDCOM Serve?
REDCOM serves the following South Jersey counties for commercial construction:
- Camden County – Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Camden, Gloucester Township
- Burlington County – Mt. Laurel, Moorestown, Marlton, Burlington Township, Bordentown
- Gloucester County – Washington Township, Deptford, Williamstown, Mullica Hill

- Mercer County – Princeton, Trenton, Hamilton, Lawrence (Central/South Jersey border)
This is in addition to our established service area across Central and North Jersey, including Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Essex, Morris, and Bergen counties
How Does NJ Permitting Differ in South Jersey?
NJ operates under a statewide Uniform Construction Code, so the core building permit requirements are the same whether your project is in Camden or Newark. However, local planning and zoning processes vary by municipality, and South Jersey towns have their own characteristics.
What Stays the Same
- NJ DCA building permits and sub-code inspections
- NJDEP environmental regulations (stormwater, wetlands)
- Uniform Construction Code requirements
What Varies by Municipality
- Site plan approval timelines and board meeting schedules
- Zoning classifications and permitted uses
- Parking requirements and traffic study thresholds
- Architectural review requirements
- Impact fees and developer agreements
REDCOM’s experience navigating NJ municipal processes across dozens of towns translates directly to South Jersey projects. The regulatory framework is the same – only the local contacts and procedures change.
