Lantis Eyewear Moves to Shed 339,000-SF HQ/Warehouse

SECAUCUS, NJ-Lantis Acquisition Corp. and HIG Capital have formally placed Lantis Eyewear’s 339,000-sf headquarters and warehouse/distribution facility here on the market. The two have also hired Keen Realty of Great Neck, NY to market Lantis’ leasehold in and find an assignee for the building, which is situated at 755 Secaucus Rd.

“The Lantis property represents a terrific opportunity for a company looking to expand,” says Moe Bordwin, chairman of Keen Realty. “It’s a state-of-the-art facility with excellent access to all major distribution points in the metropolitan area.”

The process of shedding the space began earlier this year when Lantis Eyewear unraveled financially and its assets were bought by Lantis Acquisition, an affiliate of HIG Capital, a Miami, FL-based private equity firm with more than $1 billion in equity capital. To facilitate the sale, Lantis went Chapter 11 last June and continued to operate as a debtor in possession.
