Two retail lease agreements have been recently signed, resulting in full occupancy for shopping centers in Somerset and Monmouth counties, according to a statement by Levin Management Corp. The company, responsible for arranging the transactions, revealed that the total combined space covered by the leases amounts to 7,150 square feet. This development highlights the ongoing trend of decreasing vacancies in well-situated open-air shopping centers across the state.
Hamilton Street Center, an expansive neighborhood shopping center located in Franklin Township, has secured a commitment from Red Tag Furniture Outlet for 5,750 square feet of space. The new furniture store venture, led by the same operator responsible for All Brands Furniture, will offer discounted furniture items, accessories, and mattresses for every room of the home. LMC Senior Leasing Representative Vanessa Kelty played a crucial role in this lease agreement.
Additionally, Wall Towne Center in Manasquan has secured a lease with Nicholas Creamery, a locally owned small-batch ice cream shop. The store will occupy 1,400 square feet of space, adding to its existing locations in Atlantic Highlands, Tinton Falls, Fair Haven, Long Branch, and Middletown. The deal, facilitated by Sidney Singer, LMC’s Vice President of Leasing, marks a rapid backfilling of a recently available unit within the 100,000-square-foot community retail property.
Singer expressed satisfaction with the open-air sector’s performance during the first quarter of the year, highlighting the continued engagement of retailers in the market. At present, the company’s leasing and management portfolio boasts several retail properties with only one or two vacancies remaining, while an increasing number of centers are reaching full occupancy. This ongoing success in leasing is enhancing the tenant mix within these properties by incorporating a diverse range of retail, dining, experiential, and service concepts that are proving beneficial to local communities.
LMC’s New York and New Jersey portfolios now include the fully occupied Hamilton Street Center and Wall Towne Center. As the leasing and managing agent for both properties, the company continues to expand its list of successful operations in the region.
