CHERRY HILL, NJ-There has been strong recent activity at the business park here, including the $3 million purchase of an industrial/flex condominium by Bestwork Industries for the Blind.

Meanwhile, Grammercy Property Trust recently laid out $4.2 million to acquire a 62,230-square-foot industrial property in nearby Bellmawr. That building is leased to a single tenant through 2022.
