Another piece of Fort Monmouth property in Tinton Falls is officially for sale.

A request for offers to purchase (RFOTP) was issued for the Pinebrook Road Commerce Center on Sept. 20 by the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA).

The property includes five acres of land in the Charles Wood Area that borders a Conrail rail track. Five of the structures, Buildings 2502-2504 and 2506-2507, make up the Fort’s former fabrication shops, which FMERA says are suitable for a multi-tenanted business park.

Developers can also purchase an adjoining 1.5-acre parcel for use as truck/general storage, or trailer parking, according to the RFOTP.

The fabrications shops were built in 1942 and total over 44,000 square feet with industrial/office space in varying single-story building configurations that range in size from 7,680-10,944 square feet, according to the FMERA newsletter.

"The Fabrication Shops could attract one purchaser/user or an investor who would purchase the buildings for lease to small businesses," the newsletter states. "Each building offers adaptable space for up to five small businesses."

Another 1,440-square-foot building located next to the fabrication shops could be used as office space.

“FMERA’s small business initiative is focused on attracting and enlisting small businesses to create jobs and amenities needed for the successful redevelopment of the Fort,” FMERA Executive Director Bruce Steadman said in the newsletter. “As part of this effort, we hope to attract a local developer/investor to purchase the Pinebrook Road Commerce Center and create a multi-tenanted business park.” 

Buyers will have until Nov. 20 to respond to the RFOTP and FMERA is expected to announce who will develop the property some time in 2014.
