Saddleback Real Estate Developers, a powerhouse in the Garden State’s industrial sector, on Wednesday announced the completion of a series of leasing transactions totaling nearly 97,000 square feet. The activity underscores the persistent demand for logistics and distribution space within New Jersey’s tightening industrial corridors.
Led by Chairman Salvatore Frassetto and President Terry Frassetto, the Saddleback portfolio saw a surge of activity in Lyndhurst, Lincoln Park and Fairfield. The deals include a mix of new long-term commitments and strategic renewals from diverse sectors, including snack food production, textiles, and industrial labeling.
Despite shifting economic headwinds, Saddleback leadership maintains that Northern New Jersey remains one of the most vital logistics nodes in the United States.
“Companies continue to prioritize well-located facilities that support logistics, storage, and distribution as they grow their operations,” Salvatore Frassetto said.
Terry Frassetto echoed this sentiment, noting that the region’s proximity to major highways, airports, and shipping centers keeps the market competitive. “We continue to see strong demand from businesses that need efficient warehouse and industrial space close to major transportation routes,” he added.
The recent leasing momentum was facilitated by broker Robert Adams of Garden State Realty. Notable deals include:
| Tenant | Location | Size (SF) | Details |
| Northcott Silk USA Inc. | Lyndhurst | 38,728 | 7-year lease for textile warehouse/distribution. |
| Industrial Labeling Systems | Fairfield | 27,158 | 7-year renewal & expansion at 36-52 Kulick Rd. |
| Industrial Labeling Systems | Fairfield | 15,449 | 7-year renewal at 35-51 Kulick Rd. |
| Pop450 | Lincoln Park | 10,600 | 5-year lease for popcorn and confection production. |
| Fashion Retail, Inc. | Fairfield | 4,600 | 5-year lease extension for clothing distribution. |
The transactions highlight the specialized needs of modern tenants. In Lincoln Park, the 10,600-square-foot lease by Pop450 transforms industrial space into a production hub for candy and snacks. Meanwhile, the dual-building commitment from Industrial Labeling Systems in Fairfield—totaling over 42,000 square feet—demonstrates a long-term investment in the region’s specialized storage infrastructure.
Saddleback, which has developed millions of square feet across the state, views this latest activity as a testament to the “diverse range of tenants” that Northern New Jersey continues to attract, from global textile distributors to local manufacturing heroes.
