Speed is the most critical asset in the property restoration business, and PuroClean has just secured a location designed for exactly that.
Sheldon Gross Realty announced Tuesday the successful leasing of a 5,500-square-foot light industrial shop at 116 South Street in Garwood to the national damage restoration franchise. The transaction was brokered by Sheldon Gross Realty President Marcy Gross and Vice President Eric Weston.
The single-story facility was selected primarily for its unrivaled access to New Jersey’s major transit arteries. For a business like PuroClean—which specializes in emergency water, fire, and mold remediation—every minute saved in transit directly impacts property recovery outcomes.
Location highlights include:
- Immediate access: A one-minute drive to Route 28.
- Regional connectivity: Less than a mile from the Garden State Parkway and four miles from I-78.
- On-site utility: The space includes a dedicated business office and a sizable parking lot to accommodate PuroClean’s fleet of emergency vehicles and specialized equipment.
The deal reflects a continuing trend in the Union County industrial market, where service-based “flex” users are prioritizing highway proximity over traditional warehouse hubs.
“When your business is restoring damaged properties, you need to be able to respond quickly,” Gross said. “That’s why this location is ideal. It’s crisscrossed by highways and major roads going north, south, east, and west.”
Operating as “The Paramedics of Property Damage®,” PuroClean’s new Garwood home serves as a central dispatch point for northern and central New Jersey. The facility provides the necessary “elbow room” for drying equipment, biohazard cleanup tools, and reconstruction materials that are essential for their 24/7 emergency operations.
With this lease, 116 South Street reaches full utility, bringing a high-demand service provider to the Garwood industrial corridor.
