New Owners Plan Significant Upgrades to Reposition Prominently Located Site
A joint-venture partnership of Advance Realty and Structure Tone Equities has retained Fameco Real Estate to serve as the exclusive leasing agent for Windsor Hights Shopping Center, a 130,233-square-foot, neighborhood retail center in East Windsor, N.J.
The joint-venture partnership recently acquired the neighborhood center, which is located at 440 Route 130 South and situated at the intersection of Route 130 and Route 571 — one of the major retail corridors in the East Windsor trade area.
“We selected Fameco Real Estate for this exclusive leasing assignment because of the firm’s proven ability to re-tenant an underperforming center and increase its asset value,” said Brian Banaszynski, Managing Director of Advance Realty. “The firm has extensive contacts with premier tenants in multiple sectors.”

The center features two pad sites that are currently occupied by PNC Bank and Taco Bell, and other tenants include Staples, Benjamin Moore and Payless Shoe Source.
Additionally, the joint venture intends to invest significant capital to approve the appearance and operations of the center including building systems, façade improvements, property signage, on-site landscaping and parking lot repairs.
