The landlord, Ride Crossing 6-2 Urban Renewal LLC, was represented by Steve Elman of Cushman & Wakefield.

“Through the combined efforts of the Avison Young Minnesota office’s longstanding relationship with Restaurant Technologies and our New Jersey office’s deep understanding of the local industrial market, we were able to find a great long-term relocation option for the company in northern New Jersey that seamlessly aligned with their expansion requirements,” Cadigan said.
