Cushman & Wakefield

NJ family selling spec site

Cushman & Wakefield will represent developer Peykar Family Properties in marketing its new 459,822 s/f warehouse at 150 Totowa Rd.

Demolition is underway at the long-vacant office site following the Wayne Planning Board’s approval of the site plan for a speculative industrial building, said Stan Danzig, vice chairman of Cushman & Wakefield.

Danzig and Stephen Elman, also from Cushman & Wakefield’s East Rutherford office, are representing Peykar Family Properties, which also own Nourison Industries, a large carpet manufacturing company.

“We suggested industrial use and the company opted to move forward and develop the site themselves,” Danzig said.

“The town was happy to see this property with a vacant 360,000 s/f office building being put back into use after so many years. This is the first significant spec warehouse development in Wayne in a long time.”

The site presents the opportunity to build a 418,500 s/f footprint, plus an additional 41,072 s/f of mezzanine office space, for a total of 459,822 s/f on the 32-acre site.

The new warehouse will have 40-foot-clear ceilings and is designed with office space on each end of the building, so it could be divided to accommodate two or three users.

The new warehouse will have loading capacity for 42 tailgates, two drive-in doors, and parking for 70 trailers and 224 cars.

Danzig said he expects the new warehouse will be complete and available by the end of first quarter or the beginning of second quarter of 2018.

“Peykar Family Properties hopes to capture the very active e-commerce market, which accounts for almost half of the new spec product being built,” Danzig said.

“The building, however, could accommodate any use, food or consumer products, for example. It will be priced competitively in the marketplace.”
