EDISON, NJ—Edison-based Zimmel Associates is very much a family affair, with the sons of company founder David Zimmel representing clients in two long-term Central New Jersey leases totaling 62,550 square feet. 

"My sons, Jaime and Jordan have been with the firm for eight and seven years respectively," says David Zimmel, president. "It's rewarding to see how knowledgeable and active they have become in the Central New Jersey industrial market, which has become a specialty at our firm."

In the first transaction, Jaime Zimmel, sales associate, represented Goodcome, an importer and distributor of digital cameras and camera accessories, in a long-term lease for 15 Cotters Lane, a 42,550 square-foot freestanding building in Highview Industrial Park, East Brunswick, NJ.

The building owner, F. Greek Development, was represented by in-house leasing agent, Jason Fisch. Goodcome is expanding its distribution business and will relocate from Piscataway, NJ.

"Goodcome's new space at Highview Industrial Park meets all the requirements they were looking for," says Jaime Zimmel.  "There is plenty of parking for their growing number of staff, 5,400 square feet of office space that was already built-out, high ceilings, seven tailboard loading docks, and heavy power."

In the second transaction, Jordan Zimmel, vice president, secured a 20,000 square-foot, 10-year lease for New Jersey Bindery Services at 4301 New Brunswick Avenue, South Plainfield, NJ.

"This was a challenging assignment," says Jordan Zimmel. "The client serves the printing industry and required a floor plan that could accommodate bindery equipment that exceeds 100 feet in continuous length. They also needed heavy power and tailboard and drive in loading. Their new space meets all of these requirements and more. The building is equipped with solar panels that reduce energy costs, a great plus."
