Levin Management opens 2026 with expanded management assignments for longtime client

North Brunswick, NJ Commercial real estate services firm Levin Management Corporation (LMC) is opening 2026 with continued growth in its third-party management platform, expanding a longtime client relationship through two Central New Jersey shopping center management assignments totaling nearly 260,000 square feet: The Shoppes at North Brunswick (effective January 2026) and Inman Grove Shopping Center in Edison (added in June 2025). The expanded assignments reflect the client’s continued confidence in LMC’s hands-on management approach and day-to-day operational oversight.

The ownership group has been an LMC client for 10 years. With these additions, LMC now provides management services for five properties totaling about 694,000 s/f for the client. The LMC-managed portfolio includes Somerset Shopping Plaza (Franklin Park, NJ; 68,000 s/f), Festival Plaza (Edison, NJ; 173,000 s/f), Oak Tree Center (Edison, NJ; 193,000 s/f), Inman Grove Shopping Center (Edison; 113,000 s/f) and The Shoppes at North Brunswick (North Brunswick; 147,000 s/f).

“This ownership is familiar with our capabilities in delivering high-quality commercial real estate services and wanted to bring that same level of consistency to these assets,” said Joseph Lowry, LMC’s senior vice president of acquisitions and business development. “Our team takes pride in protecting and enhancing value through strong property presentation, responsive tenant relations and disciplined operational oversight. We are pleased to build on the progress at Inman Grove and implement our management program at The Shoppes at North Brunswick as we begin 2026. Our focus is to enhance day-to-day performance while supporting long-term asset value.”

The Shoppes at North Brunswick — North Brunswick, NJ

Effective January 2026, LMC will provide management services for The Shoppes at North Brunswick, a roughly 147,000-s/f retail center located at 650 Shoppes Blvd. The 47-tenant property features a mix of national and service-oriented users, including Starbucks, Chipotle, Bath & Body Works, Men’s Wearhouse, Crumbl Cookies, Banana Republic, LOFT, Big Blue Swim School, Club Pilates, Hummus Republic, Orangetheory Fitness, and Paris Baguette, among others.

Positioned along a heavily traveled retail corridor, the center benefits from strong visibility and accessibility, including proximity to Route 1 and Route 130, which together carry about 100,000 vehicles a day, and a location less than five minutes from Rutgers University–New Brunswick. The Shoppes at North Brunswick attracts 2.4 million visitors a year, according to real-time traffic data from Placer.ai.

Inman Grove Shopping Center — Edison, NJ

LMC provides management services for Inman Grove Shopping Center, a roughly 113,000 s/f retail property located at 1125 Inman Ave. in Edison. LMC served as a consultant during due diligence for the property’s off-market acquisition.

Ideally located at a signalized intersection, Inman Grove Shopping Center offers access and visibility, along with abundant on-site parking. The tenant mix includes Ivy Rehab, CSL Plasma, Verizon, The UPS Store, Kumon, Wells Fargo, Taco Bell, Subway and Gyros and Wings. Gopal Supermarket, a new Indian grocer, will fill the anchor space formerly occupied by Stop & Shop and is expected to open soon.

Inman Grove Shopping Center attracts 1.4 million visitors a year, according to real-time traffic data from Placer.ai. The daily traffic count passing the property exceeds 22,000 vehicles.
