•  2013 McCarter Highway, Newark, N.J., is a 178,200-square-foot warehouse located near major transportation routes and logistics hubs, such as Newark Liberty International Airport.

All three assets were delivered between 2023 and 2024 and feature 32- to 40-foot clear heights, ample truck and car parking, optimized building depths, and numerous loading doors.

Gateway focus

This past January, Seagis obtained a $122 million loan for the financing of a 13-property, 1.1 million-square-foot industrial portfolio Northern New Jersey, New York City and South Florida. JLL arranged the five-year, fixed-rate loan through a correspondent lender. The properties ranged substantially in age, from three to 50 years old, but illustrated the company’s focus on infill properties in gateway East Coast markets.

Overall industrial space vacancy in Miami–Dade County rose by 70 basis points over the prior quarter, to 3.9 percent, according to a third-quarter report from JLL. New leases and renewals in the quarter totaled more than 800,000 square feet.

Significantly, net absorption year-to-date has been about 2.8 million square feet, as against deliveries over the same period of 6.9 million square feet and a pipeline of nearly a further 4.2 million square feet, just 4 percent of it preleased.
