Levin Management Corp. building 54,000 s/f
addition at Rutgers Industrial Center

Piscataway, NJ A 54,000 s/f building addition at 140 Circle Dr. North has reached a key milestone with the walls now up. Levin Management Corp. (LMC), through its in-house construction management team, is overseeing the project, which will deliver a single-story class A warehouse at Rutgers Industrial Center. The new addition will be available for occupancy early next year.

Rutgers Industrial Center has expanded in recent years with two newly constructed buildings — a 78,000 s/f building at 30 Duke Rd. and a 30,000 s/f building at 101 Circle Dr. North. The 140 Circle Dr. North building addition builds on that momentum as the third ground-up project at the 700,000 s/f complex in three years.

LMC serves as asset manager for the seven-building complex, with Cushman & Wakefield’s Chuck Fern, Jason Barton, and Jack Winge leading leasing efforts for a new industrial building under construction. The project is alongside the existing 140 Circle Dr. North building, home to shoe wholesaler R&J Warehouse.

“With the walls up and core construction well underway, we are on track for delivery early next year,” said Max Gagneron, LMC’s vice president of construction.

“It is exciting to see this project take shape as we continue to add modern industrial space to meet market demand.”

The building will feature 35-ft. clear heights and 44-ft. and 49-ft. column spacing. The addition also includes eight new loading docks, 31 parking spaces, and about 2,000 s/f of office space.

“This new opportunity provides a single tenant the chance to establish or grow its regional presence in high-quality, move-in ready warehouse space in the heart of the I-287 industrial corridor,” said Matthew Harding, LMC’s chief executive officer.

With direct access to major highways and regional infrastructure, Rutgers Industrial Center offers tenants a I-287 corridor location. The property is one-half mile from Exit 8 of I-287, five miles from Exit 10 of the New Jersey Tpke., and minutes from the NS Independent Bulk Transfer Terminal-Middlesex-NJ. Newark Liberty International Airport and New York/New Jersey seaports are also nearby.
