RARITAN TWP., NJ-Walmart recently opened its doors at Garden Commercial Properties’ 500,000-square-foot Raritan Town Square retail and office complex here. The 143,371-square-foot discount store will serve alongside Lowe’s Home Improvement as an anchor tenant, according to the Short Hills-based developer.

“Walmart fits perfectly into our goal of creating a neighborhood-style shopping destination with a small-town feeling and pedestrian-friendly ambiance,” GCP’s director of leasing Michael Gartenberg tells GlobeSt.com. “For instance, the exterior of the free-standing building has been carefully designed with an intimate brick and concrete façade in contrast to the large, standardized facades found on typical single-level ‘big-box’ retail stores.”

The Walmart opening also signifies the start of phase two at Raritan Town Square, which includes the groundbreaking of a 5,000-square-foot IHOP restaurant scheduled to open in the spring of 2010, indicates Gartenberg.
