The joint-venture partnership of Advance Realty and Invesco Real Estate today announced that it has agreed to terms on a lease that will bring H Mart to Paramus, N.J. The supermarket will occupy 25,000 square feet at the retail center at 60 Route 17 North.
Situated alongside DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse and PetSmart, H Mart’s newest store — its ninth in New Jersey — will occupy a space that was formerly home to Staples. Headquartered in nearby Lyndhurst, H Mart’s other New Jersey locations include Fort Lee, Leonia, Englewood, Edison, Cherry Hill, Little Ferry and Ridgefield.
Shadow-anchored by the Westfield Garden State Plaza, the third-largest mall in the New York Metropolitan Area, 60 Route 17 North was acquired in 2015 by the joint-venture partnership, which was attracted to the retail center due, in large part, to its location on an established trade corridor.
“Paramus has long served as a magnet for shoppers in Bergen County and beyond,” said Jared Minatelli, Advance Realty’s director of asset management. “The property at 60 Route 17 North, which consistently captures a high volume of retail traffic, was a perfect fit for H Mart as it looked to capitalize on this thriving market and add to its growing list of locations.”
Minatelli, along with Goldstein Group President Chuck Lanyard and Sales Associate Eric Wallis, represented the joint-venture partnership in the transaction, while Jeff Chaus of Chaus Realty represented H Mart.
Advance Realty and Invesco Real Estate partnered to acquire 60 Route 17 North as part of a 244,000-square-foot retail portfolio comprised of two properties and four buildings. The other properties, located at 289-315 Route 17 South, feature 169,200 square feet of space, and are home to a PGA Tour Superstore, P.C. Richard & Son, as well as other occupied retail and office spaces.
