CLIFTON, NJ—Blink Fitness, an affordable fitness chain, will occupy 15,000 square feet of newly constructed retail space at the 80,000-square-foot Clifton Plaza shopping center in Clifton, according to Levin Management, the property's management and leasing agent.
“Ever since our first gym opened in 2011, our mission at Blink has been about putting mood above muscle,” said Todd Magazine, Blink's general manager. “We strive to provide people with a place to feel good while they work out. Opening our 36th location at Clifton Plaza in partnership with Levin allows us to extend that opportunity to the local community and that makes us feel great about what we do.”
Levin Management negotiated the long-term lease. Peter Levine of Charter Realty & Development Corp. represented the tenant in the transaction.
“Low-cost fitness chains are expanding rapidly across the country, underscoring the demand among consumers for affordable gym alternatives,” says David Reiner, Levin's vice-president of leasing. “Blink Fitness is revolutionizing the way people exercise by offering a fast, convenient and cost-effective workout environment. We're excited to bring this wonderful amenity to Clifton Plaza.”
Co-anchored by a 24,000-square-foot Big Lots and 14,000-square-foot Dollar Tree, Clifton Plaza's exceptional lineup of national and regional tenants includes GameStop, Radio Shack, Angel Tip Nails & Spa, Bruno's Pizza, Sally Beauty Supply and Valley National Bank. Dunkin' Donuts also is scheduled to open in the coming weeks.
