Former little egg harbor municipal building hits market for $650k in tuckerton

TUCKERTON, NJ – The former Little Egg Harbor Municipal Building at 7 Gifford Road is up for sale, offering investors or owner-users a 10,700-square-foot commercial property in a prime Ocean County location for $650,000. Positioned at the corner of Route 9 and Gifford Road, the two-story building sits on 0.71 acres and is zoned for general business, making it suitable for a range of commercial or redevelopment uses.

Originally built in 2000, the property includes approximately 6,700 square feet on the main floor and 4,000 square feet on the lower level. It currently operates as a fully leased, multi-tenant office building classified as Class C space, featuring security systems, central heating, storage areas, and wheelchair accessibility.

According to the listing, the property—composed of Block 276.01, Lots 15, 16, and 17—will be sold as is, where is. An open inspection is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and the high bid is set to go before the Little Egg Harbor Township Committee for approval at its February 12 meeting.

Located just off Route 9, the site offers high visibility and accessibility along a major commercial corridor linking Tuckerton to nearby coastal communities. Local planners and developers have noted that the property’s zoning and location could make it an attractive prospect for office conversion, retail use, or mixed-use redevelopment.

The listing emphasizes the property’s potential for future growth while noting its existing tenancy and stable occupancy. At $60.75 per square foot, the building offers one of the more competitively priced investment opportunities in southern Ocean County’s commercial market.

The former municipal complex at 7 Gifford Road provides a fully leased, 10,700-square-foot office site with redevelopment potential in a high-traffic Tuckerton corridor.
