The national pallet company expands and consolidates existing facilities into a new, 153,000-sf location with outdoor storage
Iselin, NJ—Avison Young has arranged a new long-term lease for Kamps Pallets at 1735 Jersey Avenue in North Brunswick, NJ, to expand and consolidate its operations in Central New Jersey. The national pallet company will occupy 153,320 square feet (sf) in the 365,000-sf, class B industrial building. The lease also secures more than an acre of industrial outdoor storage on site, a scarce commodity in New Jersey. Kamps Pallets is expected to move in on April 1, 2024.
Kamps Pallets was represented by Paul Errigo, Ed English, and Ron Ganter, based in Avison Young’s Iselin, NJ office. The landlord, Saadia Group, was represented by Mindy Lissner of Cushman and Wakefield.
“Kamps Pallets faced the necessity of finding a property not just for operations but also for trailer parking and pallet storage,” said Errigo. “The property at 1735 Jersey Avenue required a variance process to achieve that which went very smoothly thanks to all involved. It not only allowed us to meet Kamps Pallets’ operational needs but also contributed positively to the community by keeping jobs and enhancing the property.”
The facility in North Brunswick minimizes operational disruption and aided employee retention for Kamps Pallets, as it is located near their previous location.
“Avison Young’s Industrial Occupier Solutions team supported us every step of the way throughout this complicated real estate process in a very challenging market for our needs,” said Michael Daray, Corporate Counsel for Kamps Pallets. “Their team approach covered every aspect of strategy, financial analysis, and market knowledge, allowing us to make the best decisions at the right times.”
