Warehouse Comes Down at Central and Locust

Demolition of the former warehouse at the corner of Central Avenue and Locust Street began this week.

The property, which Mayor Mary-Anna Holden said dates back to 1905, had been the site of Madison Moving and Storage and then Chatham Moving and Storage (which is now on North Passaic Avenue in Chatham).

The property is now being developed by Carmine Vacchiano, who Planning Board member (and its former chair) Judy Mullins says has built other residences in Madison.

The development will feature three unique two-family buildings. The developer worked with the Planning Board so the new construction would blend with the area. The neighborhood is zoned for two-family homes.
