Construction Funded for Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center in New Brunswick, NJ
A substantial step towards enhancing New Brunswick’s industrial landscape has been taken with the announcement of the Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center. The site, located at 701 Joyce Kilmer Ave, has secured $33 million in construction financing, allowing developers to break ground on this significant project. The development, which includes two Class A industrial buildings, is set to cover a total area of 195,421 square feet and is anticipated to be completed by late 2026.
Funding and Financial Backing
The financing for this ambitious project comes from Bank Hapoalim, a key player in providing the necessary funds to facilitate its realization. As the demand for modern industrial facilities continues to rise, the timing of this project aligns with the growing needs of the logistics and supply chain sectors. The Exit 9 industrial corridor, where the center will be situated, has been identified as a core area for commerce in the Northeast, making the Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center a strategic addition to the region’s industrial offerings.
Meeting Market Demand
Driven by the continued surge in e-commerce and the quest for optimized supply chains, the demand for modern industrial facilities has escalated. Many companies are in search of efficient spaces, leading to increased investor confidence in the industrial market. The Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center seeks to address this growing demand by providing flexible suite options ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 square feet. This approach is particularly vital considering the limited availability of Class A industrial products under 100,000 square feet in the region.
Strategic Location
One of the standout features of the Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center is its prime location, which offers easy accessibility to major highways, including the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 1. This advantageous positioning is expected to attract a variety of industrial tenants who are looking for efficiency in their operations. Enhanced logistics capabilities due to its strategic setting can further improve connectivity for businesses in the area.
Development Team and Collaboration
The team behind this initiative consists of Faropoint and Deugen Development. This partnership capitalizes on the local expertise of Deugen paired with Faropoint’s data-driven acquisition strategy. Such collaborations are crucial in ensuring that the project meets market requirements effectively. The partnership is strengthened by the involvement of several significant stakeholders, including Paramus-based Deugen Development, BHI Bank, and the City of New Brunswick.
Market Trends and Future Outlook
Recent reports from Cushman & Wakefield indicate a persistent demand for Class A industrial properties, especially in an environment marked by overall negative net absorption for the past nine quarters. However, despite the challenges, the industrial market remains resilient, demonstrating that investor demand is not wavering. Increasing occupancy and limited new supply contribute to a favorable outlook for developments like the Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center.
To add to its credibility, Faropoint recently expanded its industrial portfolio with a noteworthy acquisition of $328 million, encompassing 1.8 million square feet across five states. Such investments signal a robust interest in bolstering industrial capacity, indicating that projects like the Joyce Kilmer Logistics Center are well-positioned to cater to evolving market needs.
