The industrial gold rush along the New Jersey Turnpike shows no signs of slowing down as global shipping leader Maersk officially signs a massive long-term lease at the Linden Logistics Center.
The deal, announced April 1, by Advance Realty Investors and Greek Real Estate Partners (GREP), will see Maersk occupy 233,492 square feet at 200 Linden Logistics Way. The move is a cornerstone of Maersk’s aggressive expansion of its North American Ground Freight network.
A high-velocity hub for the Northeast
Maersk plans to utilize the state-of-the-art facility as a primary hub for its Full Truckload (FTL) and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) distribution. By planting its “Ground Freight” flag in Linden, the company aims to seamlessly bridge the gap between ocean-bound containers and inland delivery networks.
The facility at 200 Linden Logistics Way is engineered for the high-volume demands of 2026 logistics, featuring:
- 40-foot clear heights to maximize vertical storage.
- 42 loading docks and 39 trailer parking spaces.
- A 6,000-square-foot build-to-suit office and dedicated locker rooms for the logistics workforce.
The “Linden Advantage”
The lease brings the 4.1-million-square-foot Linden Logistics Center to 91% occupancy, reinforcing Northern New Jersey’s status as the premier “last-mile” corridor for the U.S. Northeast.
“The leasing momentum at 200 Linden reflects the strength of the location,” Alexander Cocoziello, Principal and CIO of Advance Realty Investors said. “The market increasingly prioritizes newly constructed facilities that offer superior infrastructure… to support evolving supply chains.”
The site’s strategic value is unmatched, offering immediate access to:
- The Port of New York and New Jersey
- Newark Liberty International Airport
- Major Arteries: The NJ Turnpike (I-95), Routes 1 & 9, and I-278.
Economic ripple effects
The transaction was brokered by a powerhouse lineup of regional real estate talent. CBRE’s Thomas F. Monahan and Larry Schiffenhaus represented the owners, while JLL’s Jon Gorczyca and Gary Politi represented Maersk.
Crucially for the local economy, the “build-to-suit” tenant improvements will be handled by Greek Design | Build, keeping the construction and development activity within the New Jersey ecosystem.
“Securing Maersk’s Ground Freight hub underscores the continued demand for modern, strategically located logistics space across Northern New Jersey,” added Alex Motiuk, Director of Acquisitions at GREP.
As global supply chains continue to recalibrate, Maersk’s significant footprint in Linden solidifies the city’s role as a vital link in the international trade moves of 2026.
