A 112,839 s/f renewal by Bed Bath & Beyond at 110 Bi-County Blvd., as well as 17 other new leases and renewals during the fourth quarter, drove the overall activity for the year to over 1.4 million s/f surpassing the record of one million s/f the company reached last year, according to Mitchell Rechler of Rechler Equity Partners.
During the fourth quarter of 2010 alone, Rechler Equity completed more than 347,000 s/f in new leases and 189,581 s/f in renewals.
