The 140,000 s/f of retail space at the new Hudson Lights development in Fort Lee, NJ, is now 80 percent leased, exclusive agent RKF announced.
The firm’s Glenn Beyer just closed on a deal with Mamoun’s Falafel to join the mix of retailers at the one-million-square-foot residential, retail and entertainment complex developed by Tucker Development with Kushner Real Estate Group and funds managed by Ares Management.

Hudson Lights is anchored by an eight-screen, 533-seat iPic luxury movie theater and its in-theater restaurant, City Perch Kitchen & Bar. Other dining options include Paris Baguette, Gayeon Restaurant, Tang 2, Anthony Franco’s Pizza, Bean & Bean and 16 Handles.
