Advance Realty and F. Greek Development Complete 190,000-SF Refrigerated Storage Facility in Woodbridge, N.J.
State-of-the-Art, Built-to-Suit Warehouse Leased to Global Storage Leader Preferred Freezer Services
The joint-venture partnership of Advance Realty and F. Greek Development announced today that it has completed construction on a 190,000-square-foot, refrigerated storage and distribution center in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Preferred Freezer Services, a worldwide operator of temperature-controlled warehouses, has leased the massive, built-to-suit facility.
Located on 9.3 acres at 275 Blair Road in Woodbridge, New Jersey, the state-of-the-art facility features a design temperature of negative 10-degrees Fahrenheit and a clearance height of 53 feet.
“To maintain a position as a global leader in refrigerated storage, a modern facility in Middlesex County, New Jersey’s industrial market is critical,” said Preferred Freezer Services CEO John Galiher. “Advance Realty and F. Greek Development were outstanding partners every step of the way in building this spectacular warehouse, which sets a new industry standard for advanced technology, energy efficiency, and strategic use of land. “
Advance Realty, a leading Northeast U.S. owner and developer of Class A office, multifamily, mixed-use and flex-space properties, and F. Greek Development, a leading Central New Jersey-based, full-service real estate firm focused on industrial development, worked with Preferred Freezer throughout the process to ensure that the warehouse would serve the company’s technical needs while providing a logistics hub in one of the nation’s most strategically advantageous industrial corridors. The facility is located less than a mile from Exit 12 on the New Jersey Turnpike, and three exits south of Newark Liberty Airport and Port Newark/Elizabeth Marine Terminal.
“Because of its location in the heart of Central New Jersey’s industrial market, this new, world-class warehouse will put Preferred Freezer in position to continue its growth as one of the world’s leading providers of refrigerated storage services,” said Peter Cocoziello, President of Advance Realty. “We are delighted to have completed the construction and we look forward to building similarly specialized industrial facilities for other corporations looking to take advantage of this area’s proximity to major ports and highways.”
F. Greek Development President Frank Greek stated: “The completion of this refrigerated warehouse for Preferred Freezer not only represents the opportunity to welcome an outstanding corporation to Woodbridge, but also another step forward for Woodbridge as a global logistics hub. We’re certain that Preferred Freezer will realize all of the benefits of its custom-designed and strategically positioned facility.”
