EDISON AND BRIDGEWATER, NJ—A candy distributor, a warehouse company, and a mill-work/cabinet making company have signed industrial leases for more than 200,000 square feet of space in Edison and Bridgewater, with all the deals brokered by Edison, NJ-based corporate real estate brokerage firm Zimmel Associates.

In the first transaction, Royal Enterprise, a full-service distributor of bulk candy, chocolates and novelty products based in Mount Laurel, NJ, leased 70,000 square feet at 195 Raritan Center Parkway, Edison, NJ. David Zimmel, Zimmel Associates' president, represented the building owner, Mobile Star. Royal Enterprise was represented by Doug Bansbach and Linda Hill of Cushman & Wakefield.

“We had a lot of activity on the building from the time we were assigned the exclusive a few months ago,” says Zimmel. “The rent was competitive for a highly convenient Raritan Center location that offers quick access to the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, Route 287 and more.

In the second transaction, Romeo and Layla Warehousing signed a seven-year lease for 106, 464 square feet at 75 Carter Drive, Edison, NJ. The landlord, Caro Associates, was represented by Lou Belfer of CBRE, East Brunswick.

“Romeo and Layla's lease was coming up for renewal and they hired our firm to do a market assessment and negotiate a renewal on their behalf,” says Zimmel. “The New Jersey warehouse space market has tightened in recent years and rents have increased. They took a proactive approach to fully understand their options, improve their negotiating leverage, and get the best deal.”

In the third transaction, Prestige Millwork, manufacturers and installers of architectural woodwork and custom cabinetry, signed a long-term lease for 24,000 square feet in a freestanding building at 27 Kearny St., Bridgewater, NJ. Jordan Zimmel, a vice president of the brokerage firm, represented both the tenant and landlord, Denholtz Associates. The building is located in Bridgewater Business Park.
