Linden Assembly

Linden Assembly

Linden Assembly was a General Motors automobile factory in Linden, New Jersey. The 2,600,000 square foot factory opened in 1937 to build Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile vehicles. During World War II, the plant was also used to produce fighter planes for the United States military, primarily the FM Wildcat, an improved version of the F4F Wildcat. In 1991 the facility was retooled for truck & SUV assembly. A white 2005 Chevrolet Blazer was the last vehicle to leave the line in April 2005.

In July 2007, General Motors and the City of Linden settled numerous tax appeals going back to 1983; Linden agreeing to pay GM $4.8 million and clearing the way for the sale and subsequent redevelopment of the 104-acre site. The property has been sold for $77 million on February 1, 2008 to Duke Realty, and will be developed for industrial and retail use.
