Ridgecut Road acquires low-coverage, industrial outdoor storage service facility in Northern New Jersey

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 12, 2024 - JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of a low-coverage, industrial service facility on +/-2.5 acres located at 2461 Iorio Street in Union, New Jersey.

JLL represented both the buyer and seller in this transaction, with Ridgecut Road acquiring the asset. Ridgecut Road is one of the preeminent owners of low coverage industrial (IOS/ISF) properties in NJ and operates a growing portfolio of class A, mission critical industrial and outdoor storage assets throughout the market.

Situated in the heart of the Route 78 and Hwy 22 submarket, 2461 Iorio Street features a service facility with 15-foot clear heights, one loading dock and four drive-in bays. Additionally, the site offers +/-2.5 acres of secure, outdoor storage.

2461 Iorio Street benefits from its accessibility to major Northern New Jersey logistical thoroughfares such as Hwy 22, I-78, I-95 and the Garden State Parkway. In addition, the asset is nine miles from Newark Airport and 11.5 miles from Port Newark.

The JLL Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Director Jason Lundy, Senior Managing Director Marc Duval, Managing Director Jordan Avanzato and Director Nicholas Stefans.

"The outdoor storage and low-coverage industrial sectors continue to benefit from institutional investment demand. There is competitive capital in the marketplace seeking exposure to alternative industrial investments, especially within infill locations where demand is driven by the need for proximity to customers, logistic hubs and key transportation infrastructure," said Lundy. "Ridgecut Road has been at the forefront of the IOS and low-coverage sector, and we're looking forward to seeing their success as they continue to build their portfolio."

"Ridgecut is excited to add this infill low coverage industrial asset to our growing portfolio of IOS properties," noted Scott Shalek, one of the principals and co-founders of Ridgecut Road, alongside his identical twin brother Eric. "We recognize the inherent value in the property given its proximity to Port Newark coupled with its access to the dense population center and consumer base in the surrounding Northern and Central New Jersey markets as well as the New York City metro."
