3-Story, 710-Unit Storage Proposed

Nan Realty Holdings LLC has filed an application in Hillsborough to build a three-story self-storage facility at 269 and 271 Route 206, according to township public notices and meeting records. The proposal calls for demolition of existing structures and consolidation of two lots into one 2.97-acre parcel. The building would total 103,560 square feet and include 710 storage units, office space and a first-floor loading area. The matter appeared before the Hillsborough Board of Adjustment on May 6, 2026, according to the township’s CivicClerk calendar and public notices. ### Where would the project go? The site is listed as 269 Route 206 and 271 Route 206 in Hillsborough, identified in township records as Block 141, Lots 17 and 18. A township notice says the property sits in the HS, or Highway Service District, and the ASD, or Architectural and Site Design Overlay District. The application says Nan Realty wants to merge the two parcels and redevelop the site after removing existing improvements. Township records describe the plan as a major site application with variance requests and waivers. ### What exactly is the applicant asking Hillsborough to approve? The township notice says Nan Realty Holdings LLC is seeking preliminary and final major site approval, “d” variances, “c” bulk variances and waivers. In New Jersey land-use practice, use variances and bulk variances are typically heard by a board of adjustment rather than the planning board, and Hillsborough’s planning board page says non-conforming land-use proposals are considered by the Board of Adjustment. The same notice describes the proposed building as a three-story storage facility with office space and a first-floor loading area. The project would contain 710 units in a 103,560-square-foot structure on the consolidated 2.97-acre lot. ### Why is the Board of Adjustment handling this case? Hillsborough’s municipal website says the Planning Board handles applications that conform to township zoning, while non-conforming land-use proposals go to the Board of Adjustment. Because Nan Realty is seeking “d” and “c” variances, the case is being heard by the Board of Adjustment rather than the Planning Board, according to township records. The Board of Adjustment calendar shows a meeting on May 6, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the municipal complex on South Branch Road. Public notices tied to the application say formal action may be taken at board meetings. ### What is publicly documented so far? A township public notice posted in March identified the Nan Realty application by file number BA-25-05 and repeated the core details of the proposal, including the addresses, lot numbers and requested approvals. The notice also said complete application files were available for inspection in the Planning and Zoning Department during business hours. The township’s CivicClerk portal lists Board of Adjustment meetings for May 6 and June 3, 2026. Search snippets from the portal indicate the Nan Realty application was carried with a time-of-decision extension through June 30, 2026, though the full meeting file was not fully viewable in the public search results reviewed for this report. ### What happens next for the Route 206 proposal? June 3, 2026 is the next Board of Adjustment meeting listed on Hillsborough’s public calendar. The township’s planning and zoning notices say meeting and application documents are made available through the CivicClerk portal in advance of listed meetings, and complete files can also be inspected through the Planning and Zoning Department. Hillsborough’s board schedule shows additional Board of Adjustment meetings later in the year if the matter is carried again. For now, the next public milestone on the township calendar is the June 3 session, where the Nan Realty application could return for further testimony or action.
