LINDEN, NJ-Kohl's and Sam's Club have signed leases to anchor Linpark Square, a 280,000-sf retail complex currently under construction here. Garden Commercial Properties, the Short Hills-based developer of the site, oversaw the lease signing.

Sam's Club will occupy nearly 140,000 sf of space, and Kohl's has reserved slightly more than 100,000 sf. Another 25,000 sf remains available for future tenants. “Linpark Square combines all the geographical and demographical elements that retailers seek in a commercial complex,” says Mario Dudzinski, VP of real estate for Garden. “Its location along the Route 1 and 9 corridor will ensure an abundance of drive-by traffic, while the surrounding communities provide an established customer base.”

When complete, Linpark Square will consist of five free-standing retail buildings. The complex is at the intersection of Routes 1 and 9 and Park Ave. Garden Commercial expects the project to be complete in 2008.
