HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faropoint, a leading tech-enabled US industrial real estate investment manager, today announced plans to develop Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center, a two-building Class A industrial development totaling approximately 195,421 square feet in New Jersey's Exit 9 submarket. The project addresses the market's growing demand for smaller industrial spaces in this strategic location.
Located minutes from I-95, U.S. Route 1 and Route 28, the state-of-the-art development will feature two 36’ clear, rear-loaded industrial facilities designed to meet modern logistics requirements with 32 total loading positions. The Class A buildings will offer industry-leading clear heights and ample loading positions, tailored to meet the robust demand for new industrial product under 100,000 square feet in this growing submarket.
The development is being executed in partnership with Deugen Development, a fourth-generation New Jersey developer with an extensive market presence.
