Metz Industrial Group of Bussel Realty Corp. Launches Leasing Campaign for 1200 Springfield Road Following $21.7 Million Sale

The Metz Industrial Group (MIG) of Bussel Realty Corp. (BRC), a leading New Jersey industrial real estate services firm, today announced it has been appointed exclusive leasing agent for 1200 Springfield Road in Union, New Jersey, following its successful representation of both the seller and purchaser in the recent $21.7 million sale of the property.

The new owner, Ridgecut Road, has retained the Metz Industrial Group to immediately launch a marketing campaign for the premier 4.8-acre industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility, recognizing the team's deep expertise in the New Jersey IOS market and its successful execution of the acquisition.

The property features 4.8 fully renovated acres of paved, fenced, and illuminated industrial outdoor storage and trailer parking, together with an 18,500-square-foot service facility consisting of a 9,500-square-foot maintenance shop, 2,500-square-foot machine shop, 5,500 square feet of first-floor office space, and 750 square feet of second-floor office space. The improvements are well suited for a wide range of users, including fleet operators, transportation companies, contractors, equipment rental services, automotive service centers, equipment maintenance, and other industrial outdoor storage users seeking secure, functional facilities with integrated service capabilities. The Metz Industrial Group team, led by Jordan Metz, Principal, along with Benito Abbate, Senior Associate, and James Friel, Sales Associate, is actively marketing the property.

"Opportunities to lease institutional-quality IOS facilities of this caliber are exceptionally limited in Northern New Jersey," said Jordan Metz, Principal of the Metz Industrial Group. "1200 Springfield Road offers everything today's IOS users are looking for including fully improved outdoor storage, a modern service facility, extensive security and technology upgrades, and immediate access to the Port Newark-Elizabeth complex and the major transportation corridors. These features make the property an ideal solution for transportation providers, logistics operators, commercial fleet owners, equipment service businesses, and other industrial occupiers seeking a turnkey location in one of the most supply-constrained IOS markets."

The Metz Industrial Group recently represented the previous owner, RCG Realty LLC, and procured Ridgecut Road as the purchaser in the $21.7 million transaction. The sale was completed as part of RCG Realty LLC's tax-deferred 1031 exchange strategy, with MIG also coordinating the acquisition of two replacement properties: 740 Lloyd Road in Aberdeen, New Jersey, a 6.0-acre industrial outdoor storage site, and 150 West First Avenue in Roselle, New Jersey, a 7,000-square-foot industrial building.

The property has benefited from extensive capital improvements throughout the yard, warehouse, and office areas. Upgrades include 30-foot electric gates, a server room with Wi-Fi and camera infrastructure, LED lighting, a fire monitoring system, a new 14-foot glass overhead door, Sika three-stage epoxy flooring, a roof backed by a 20-year warranty, and improvements to the heating systems, walls, ceilings, fencing, office doors and windows, ductwork, and HVAC systems. Technology and security enhancements include VPN connectivity, Power over Ethernet switches, routers, a 10G cloud gateway, 4K and 8K AI-enabled IP cameras, and advanced access control with facial recognition, PIN entry, and key fob access.
 
Strategically located in Union, New Jersey, 1200 Springfield Road provides outstanding connectivity to the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95), Routes 22 and 1-9, I-78, Port Newark-Elizabeth, Newark Liberty International Airport, and the greater New York metropolitan area, making it an ideal location for distribution, logistics, transportation, service, and industrial outdoor storage operations.
