LODI, NJ — In keeping with the trend that’s shifting more and more retail from bricks and mortar to e-commerce, Urban Edge Properties, a NYSE REIT, is converting the former National Wholesale Liquidators' big-box retail site on Rte. 17 in Lodi to warehouse space. “This gateway location with immediate access to NJ’s most direct commercial roadways is now an option for companies looking to tighten operations or locate their “last mile” in exactly the right location,” said Tom Consiglio, SIOR principal of Resource Realty of Northern NJ. “Delivery times, Rte. efficiencies, a loaded talent pool, and the flexibility of the property are distribution game-changers for the right user, especially with the rising demands of immediacy in e-commerce.”
