Transportation and Solutions Provider DSV commits to 355,000-sq.-ft. lease in Carteret

The world’s third-largest transport and logistics company has signed a full-building, 355,000-square-foot commitment at Crow Holdings at Carteret. DSV Global Transport and Logistics leased 300 Salt Meadow Road, becoming the second occupant at Crow Holdings Developmentā€™s new, 1.2 million-square-foot industrial campus just off NJ Turnpike Exit 12.

Cushman & Wakefield‘s Jules Nissim, Stan Danzig and Kimberly Bach negotiated the transaction as exclusive leasing agents for Crow Holdings at Carteret; Cushman & Wakefieldā€™s Mindy Lissner served as tenant representative.

Headquartered in Denmark with more than 1,600 offices and logistics facilities worldwide, DSV will serve a household-name client from its Carteret location. Plans call for the expansion of the buildingā€™s existing office space and specialized fit-outs, including 100,000 square feet of cooler capacity.

ā€œWe are thrilled with the selection of this new facility in Carteret,ā€ DSVā€™s Josh Summers, president, Solutions North America, said. ā€œThis more than doubles our footprint in the region and allows us to draw on our already extensive capabilities there. Crow Holdings Developmentā€™s property is the ideal selection and one we believe demonstrates our commitment to our customersā€™ growth.ā€

According to Crow Holdings Developmentā€™s Clark Machemer, DSVā€™s selection of Crow Holdings at Carteret provides clear justification for the project. ā€œWe are honored to have this global transport leader,ā€ he said. ā€œDSV has been active in the market ā€“ they left no stone unturned in their site-selection process. This is a strong testament to our campus and to the Borough of Carteretā€™s success in fostering a pro-business environment.ā€

With the DSV lease, Crow Holdings at Carteret is approaching the 50% occupancy mark, with continued active interest. Cushman & Wakefield is marketing one remaining full-building opportunity of 479,700 square feet, as well as a 146,400-square-foot, partial-building space.

According to Nissim, the propertyā€™s Greater Port Market location, ease of access and move-in readiness are driving high-profile tenants to Crow Holdings at Carteret. ā€œLong-term efficiency and speed to occupancy were priorities for DSV, and this campus easily meets those requirements,ā€ he said. ā€œAdd to that a top-notch development team, and this truly is a stand-out option within the marketplace.ā€

Crow Holdings at Carteret sits on 126 acres just 13 miles from the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, offering convenience to sea and air transit, major thoroughfares as well as key NYC crossings. Ideally suited for a variety of uses, it benefits from a 30-year PILOT agreement, enabling long-term tax rate stability. The campus, which also houses a regional distribution operation for Weida Freight Systems, has received multiple industry honors since its introduction.
