SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ—Edgewood Properties has acquired the vacant 104,020-square-foot office building at 1001 Durham Ave. here.

The Piscataway, NJ-based real estate and property development company purchased the property from ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. 1001 Durham Ave. is currently managed and operated by a court-appointed receiver.

The JLL Capital Markets team that included senior managing director Jose Cruz and directors Marc Duval and Jordan Avanzato, represented ConnectOne Bancorp in the transaction.

“This is a great location with access to the highways and a significant labor pool,” Cruz said. “The asset has significant upside both in its current use as well as a potential redevelopment.”

1001 Durham Ave. offers an opportunity to upgrade the property to reposition and lease-up as a single-tenant or a multi-tenant office building or be a redeveloped into an industrial facility in the highly desirable West I-287 Industrial submarket, JLL states.

The property, constructed in 1986 and renovated in 2010, features a three-story atrium, flexible floor plans and parking.
