In 1986, an associate suggestion led 84 Lumber to build an on-site fitness center at our Team Headquarters. The goal was simple: give employees a place to stay active during the workday instead of only before or after it. The facility is still in use today and includes a full gym, indoor track, basketball court, locker rooms, a sauna, and access to CrossFit 519 at a discounted rate. In addition to the fitness center, associates also have access to a walking trail on campus as another way to get moving throughout the day.

84 Lumber is proud to have worked with the City of Wildwood, New Jersey, on its City of Wildwood Boardwalk project. “The City of Wildwood has been working with 84 Lumber through the entirety of the reconstruction of the Wildwood Boardwalk,” said Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano, Jr. “84 Lumber has provided quality material, assisted in overcoming supply chain hurdles, and expedited the process to ensure the most savings to the City of Wildwood taxpayers.” The project was a remarkable effort that showed 84 Lumber’s resiliency, flexibility, and commitment to excellence. While the project encountered a few unforeseen challenges, including environmental shifts in the Amazon due to effects of El Niño, regional wildfires, and temporary disruptions at key ports, 84 Lumber worked proactively to navigate these conditions. The team coordinated across international supply chains, rerouted shipments when necessary, and stayed closely aligned with environmental and customs processes to ensure materials reached the Cape May, New Jersey, yard. “They have been professional and consistent with their services,” said Troiano. “The City of Wildwood looks forward to a continued partnership with 84 Lumber for the completion of the Wildwood Boardwalk Reconstruction.”
