LINDEN, NJ—Duke Realty Corporation and CBRE have opened the first of three warehouse properties planned for Legacy Commerce Center, a 60-acre, class A industrial and retail development on the former site of a General Motors' assembly plant at 801 W. Linden Avenue in Linden, NJ.
Linden public officials, including Mayor Richard J. Gerbounka, Councilman Robert Sadowski and Councilwoman Rhashonna Cosby-Hurling, participated in opening ceremonies recently.
“This event gave us the opportunity to show the community the outstanding facility we've delivered. Our new building offers premier warehouse space plus is located in an unparalleled logistics location,” says Jeff Palmquist, senior vice president of Duke Realty's Northeast region. “Companies that locate here will enjoy a modern, state-of-the-art facility with immediate access to highways and the ports.”
A 495,000-square-foot building in Legacy Commerce Center features key amenities such as 50-by-50-foot column spacing; a 36-foot ceiling; ESFR sprinklers, and parking for 300 cars.
“The unveiling of 801 W. Linden Avenue marks an incredible opportunity for industry growth and job creation in the city of Linden,” said Mindy Lissner, executive vice president, CBRE. “Duke Realty has worked diligently to transform the former General Motors site in Linden into a first-class development and is leading the market in construction of class A facilities throughout New Jersey.”
CBRE's team of Mindy Lissner, William Waxman, executive vice president; Steven Beyda, senior vice president; Susan Strauss-Rickwalder, client services specialist, and Jamie Dennison, client services specialist, oversees leasing and marketing for Legacy Commerce Center on behalf of Duke Realty.
