Rutgers Industrial Center in Piscataway Continues Expansion

On Sep 25, 2025

A 54,000-square-foot building addition at 140 Circle Drive North in Piscataway has reached a key milestone with the walls now up. Levin Management Corp. (LMC), through its in-house construction management team, is overseeing the project, which will deliver a single-story Class A warehouse at Rutgers Industrial Center. The new addition will be available for occupancy early next year, bringing fresh, modern space to market in one of New Jersey’s most competitive industrial corridors.

Rutgers Industrial Center has expanded in recent years with two newly constructed buildings — a 78,000-square-foot building at 30 Duke Road and a 30,000-square-foot building at 101 Circle Drive North. The 140 Circle Drive North building addition builds on that momentum as the third ground-up project at the 700,000-square-foot complex in three years.

LMC serves as asset manager for the seven-building complex, with Cushman & Wakefield’s Chuck Fern, Jason Barton, and Jack Winge leading leasing efforts for a new industrial building under construction. The project rises alongside the existing 140 Circle Drive North building, home to shoe wholesaler R&J Warehouse.

“With the walls up and core construction well underway, we are on track for delivery early next year,” said Max Gagneron, LMC’s vice president of construction. “It is exciting to see this project take shape as we continue to add modern industrial space to meet market demand.”

The building will feature 35-foot clear heights and 44-foot and 49-foot column spacing. The addition also includes eight new loading docks, 31 parking spaces, and about 2,000 square feet of office space.

“This new opportunity provides a single tenant the chance to establish or grow its regional presence in high-quality, move-in ready warehouse space in the heart of the I-287 industrial corridor,” said Matthew K. Harding, LMC’s chief executive officer.

With direct access to major highways and regional infrastructure, Rutgers Industrial Center offers tenants a prime I-287 corridor location. The property sits one-half mile from Exit 8 of I-287, five miles from Exit 10 of the New Jersey Turnpike, and minutes from the NS Independent Bulk Transfer Terminal-Middlesex-NJ. Newark Liberty International Airport and New York/New Jersey seaports are also nearby.
