The New York retail leasing team at CPEX has completed a retail lease at 182-20 Jamaica Ave. A new one-story, 23,000 s/f commercial building will be constructed on the site, of which 6,965 s/f will be occupied by the tenant procured by CPEX. CPEX's retail leasing team, consisting of managing directors Eric Altschul and Ryan Condren and associate Kristina Triglia, represented the property owner, Calmark Properties, in negotiating the ten-year lease agreement. The tenant, Advance Auto Parts, was represented by Pliskin Realty. With over 3,500 locations, Advance Auto Parts is the second largest retailer in auto parts in the country. "This stretch of Jamaica Ave. is a thriving retail corridor with a mix of local and national retailers," said Condren. "After receiving multiple offers from national tenants, the landlord felt Advance Auto Parts was most suitable for this shopping center."
