Anve Kitchen and Bath, based in Paramus, signed the lease to open a new showroom with warehouse space along Rte. 4.

According to Newmark Research, some property types struggled to maintain occupancy in 2020; however, modern warehouse space remained the most sought-after commercial real estate in the region. The Northern New Jersey industrial market performed admirably in a challenging 2020 as most indicators show improvements over 2019. The needed demand for e-commerce and logistics helped the market record its busiest quarter since the onset of COVID-19.
