MORRISTOWN, N.J. – July 10, 2024 – Rockefeller Group, a leading real estate developer, owner and operator, announced today that is has sold Constitution Logistics Center, a 147,000-square-foot distribution center in Piscataway, N.J., to Bridge Industrial, a privately-owned, vertically integrated real estate operating company and investment manager. Located at 10 Constitution Avenue, the project is Rockefeller Group’s sixth industrial building developed in Piscataway in the past five years and adds to Bridge Industrial’s growing investment portfolio of New York and New Jersey distribution centers, where it currently owns over 14 million sf across 35 buildings.
“We’d like to again thank the Township of Piscataway for working with us so well on another project in the area and look forward to continuing our relationship with the town as we look for future projects,” said Heath Abramsohn, Vice President and Regional Director for Rockefeller Group. “We would also like to thank Bridge Industrial, who was terrific to work with on this deal.”
“We are excited to announce our purchase of 10 Constitution from the Rockefeller Group. This acquisition is perfectly aligned with our business strategy to acquire quality industrial buildings in supply-constraint core markets, said Jeff Milanaik, Partner Northeast Region, Bridge Industrial. “The property has significant advantages, the combination of building size, ample trailer parking, and dock-high loading will cater to a wide-range of tenant requirements. It was a pleasure dealing with the team at Rockefeller, their professionalism and attention to detail allowed for a smooth transaction”, added Stefan Sansone, Director Acquisitions Northeast Region, Bridge Industrial.
The project is approximately one mile from Exits 6 and 7 off I-287, providing access to I-95 to the south and Routes 78 and 80 to the north.
