Raritan Center is a business park located in Edison, New Jersey. Sited on part of the former Raritan Arsenal,[1] the Raritan Center Business Park is a 2,300-acre (930 ha) logistics center with office buildings and millions of square feet of light manufacturing or distribution.[2] It provides services for transload, cross-dock, warehousing and “3PL” service providers operations.

It is home to regional distribution facilities for organizations including Federal Express,[3] CertainTeed,[4] Arizona Beverage Company, United Parcel Service, among others.[5] The newsroom of News 12 New Jersey[5] and the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center[6] are located at the center.

In 1992, the remains of missing child Timothy Wiltsey, last seen in nearby South Amboy 11 months earlier, was recovered from Red Root Creek in the wetlands off Olympic Drive within the park; one of his sneakers had been found along the street in October 1991. His mother, Michelle Lodzinski, had several years earlier worked at a nearby business; police found it suspicious that she left that employer off a work history she had previously given them. That omission was evidence in her 2016 murder trial; she was convicted and served four years in prison before the Supreme Court of New Jersey granted her motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict in 2021 and vacated the conviction.[7]

In 2012, Avidan Management built which what was then the nation's largest solar rooftop installation at 17 acres (6.9 ha) at the center.[8][9]
