Walls and Steel are up at warehouse/distribution building WAYNE, NJ, January 13, 2023 – Donnelly Construction announces that walls and steel are up on the 25,714 square-foot warehouse distribution building at 441 Newark Pompton Turnpike, Wayne, New Jersey. The building is scheduled to be completed on or before May 2023. “The site offers an excellent location for a warehouse/distribution building,” said Rod Donnelly, President of Donnelly Construction. “It is an incomparable location just minutes away from Routes 23, 46, I-287 and I-80,” he said. These major North Jersey highways link the site within a short driving distance to the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel, giving companies at this location proximity to the Metro New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania marketplace. “When we saw the opportunity to acquire the property, we knew we could transform the site into a viable logistical warehouse distribution asset,” he said. Building specifications include: 26-foot ceiling height, three tailboard loading docks, one drive-in door and 2,000 AMPS of electric which could service a wide array of manufacturing and light assembly companies. The building also includes 1,500 square feet of office space, featuring a Class A full height glass entry. The building is also ideal for e-Commerce and can accommodate Cold Storage. Initially acquired in 2018, the site has expanded from 14-acres at the time of acquisition to 23-acres. In addition to the current construction, Donnelly said the firm has plans to build a 70,000-square-foot industrial space on-site. A third building of 29,000 square feet is already on-site and fully leased. “We have seen a lot of interest from companies who need easy access for distribution to the New York metro and Pennsylvania markets,” said Thomas Palestina of Palestina Scrivo Properties, Inc., exclusive broker for the property. The Clifton-based broker has been active in Northern New Jersey for decades and says that the demand for warehousing/distribution space is strong. Tom Palestina’s partner Peter Scrivo says, “25,714 square feet of new Class A warehouse/distribution space is hard to find in this submarket. There is a definite need for space,” Scrivo said. Palestina adds, “Donnelly brings their outstanding reputation for quality design and construction principles to its work on industrial properties.” “Peter and I believe because 441 Newark Pompton Turnpike is the only new Class A warehouse distribution building in the greater North Jersey market it will be leased before construction is completed.” For additional information or to arrange an appointment to review the building plans please contact Tom Palestina at 973-985-4861 or email tpalestina@psprop.com
