Resource Realty of Northern New Jersey reports strong industrial activity along the I-80 Corridor

Resource Realty of Northern New Jersey (RRNNJ) announced the successful execution of four industrial lease transactions totaling 116,347 square feet along the highly sought-after Interstate 80 corridor in Morris and Warren counties. All transactions were completed on behalf of the respective landlords, with RRNNJ Principal Brian Wilson playing a key role in each deal.

The transactions reflect growing competition for high-quality, strategically located industrial space in the heart of North Jersey. Each of the four properties is situated less than three miles from I-80, offering exceptional connectivity to New York City, Upstate New York, and Eastern Pennsylvania. According to Wilson, this accessibility helped RRNNJ secure long-term users at every location.

“Despite the ‘summer wind down,’ we continue to see tenants across multiple industries willing to pay a premium for strategically located, amenity-rich industrial space,” said Wilson. “This trend has only strengthened over the past couple of years and reinforces the strong fundamentals of the I-80 corridor as a premier destination for businesses prioritizing both efficient logistics and quality operations.”

The largest share of new leasing activity occurred in Hackettstown, Warren County, where Wilson secured tenants for two industrial properties totaling 82,216 square feet. The firm leased 45,048 square feet at 715 Willow Grove Street, shortly after securing a 37,168-square-foot lease at 101 Bilby Avenue. Wilson represented the landlord in both transactions, while KBC Advisors represented the tenant on each deal.

In Morris County, new leasing activity totaled 34,131 square feet across two transactions, including a 30,131-square-foot industrial lease at 400 Forge Way in Rockaway, where Wilson partnered with Principal Scott Peck. Wilson also secured a tenant for a 4,000-square-foot industrial unit at 1 Emery Avenue in Randolph with the assistance of RRNNJ Founder and Principal Tom Consiglio.

“While these four deals attest to the strategic importance of the Northern New Jersey industrial market, they represent only a snapshot of the growing demand we’ve witnessed along the I-80 corridor over the past two years,” said Consiglio. “Our team continues to deliver value for businesses of all sizes—from mom-and-pop operations to regional and international firms—throughout Morris and Warren counties.”
