HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Faropoint, a leading tech-enabled US industrial real estate investment manager, today announced the acquisition of 9.18 acres of land in Greenwich, New Jersey for a new development project. The off-market acquisition, located at Block 255, Lot 1.02 on Swedesboro Road, aligns with Faropoint’s strategy of identifying opportunities in key logistics markets.
Faropoint plans to develop a 73,800 square foot Class A industrial property on the site, featuring state-of-the-art specifications including 1,600 amps of 480v power, 15 loading positions, 2 drive-in doors, ESFR sprinkler systems, and a 32′ clear height. Faropoint has secured final site plan approval for the project.
Benjamin Wachs, Senior Acquisitions Associate at Faropoint, commented on the acquisition: “We are excited to add a ground-up development project to our acquisition pipeline in the Northeast. This project showcases our versatile capabilities as a value-add fund, capitalizing on opportunities across the capital spectrum. Over the past few years, South Jersey has seen a glut of new industrial development, but with very few properties delivered under 75,000 SF. We believe there is a large unmet demand for smaller free-standing buildings in the area and we will continue to look for more opportunities to deliver these projects on behalf of our investors.”
This development in the Southern New Jersey/Greater Philadelphia market demonstrates Faropoint’s commitment to expanding its portfolio with strategically located, high-quality industrial assets. In a market where finding supply with supporting fundamentals is challenging, Faropoint’s deep local presence has been key to uncovering these opportunities. Leveraging its expertise in last-mile logistics and proprietary sourcing platform, the firm continues to identify and capitalize on market gaps in key logistics areas, maintaining a competitive edge in the market.
Wendy Banscher from Fox & Roach represented the sellers in the transaction, while Faropoint did not use a broker.
