Construction set to begin on 36 acres adjacent to former Union Carbide Brownfield Site
Piscataway, NJ — Rockefeller Group, a leading real estate developer, owner and operator, announced it will develop a 241,200 s/f distribution center in Piscataway. The project, Normandy Logistics Center, is located at 10 Normandy Dr., a 36-acre brownfield site adjacent to more than 2.1 million s/f of logistics space the company developed in the township between 2017 and 2019.
“Our latest project represents the final developable parcel next to the former Union Carbide site in Piscataway which operated for more than 80 years,” said Heath Abramsohn, VP, regional director for Rockefeller Group’s North Central region. “Like our other recent industrial projects in Piscataway, Middlesex, Spotswood and Edison, we are able to redevelop a former brownfield site, providing a class A building on a site that sat fallow for more than 30 years.”
Normandy Logistics Center will include 40’ clear heights, 162 car parking spaces, 60 trailer parking spaces and 41 single load loading docks.
The team of Michael Markey and Jonathan Tesser of Colliers brokered the land sale and Markey and Tesser will handle marketing and leasing of the project.
“Land sites that can accommodate buildings of this size are getting harder to find within this market and Normandy Logistics Center is the right size for the market and will be a great addition to the area amid strong demand,” said Markey. “Piscataway remains an ideal location for companies to distribute goods, with a strong labor pool providing for a great employee base for users.”
The project has access to Rte. 287 and subsequently the New Jersey Tpke. and Rte. 78, providing for strong North/South distribution as well as East/West distribution.
“A greener environment and a boost to economic development,” Piscataway Mayor Brian C. Wahler said. “That’s what the Rockefeller Group is bringing to Piscataway. What was once a petrochemical site with smokestacks will now be cleaned and home to a state-of-the-art logistics center that is bringing good paying jobs to hard-working residents.”
Mancini Duffy is the architect, SESI Consulting Engineer is the civil engineer, and the general contractor is Alston Construction. The project is expected to be completed in 4th Quarter 2025.
