Distribution Center Lease Termination a Huge Win!
(Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, President and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, announced today that the New Jersey based corporate real estate advisory and transaction services firm negotiated the termination of a lease for Agfa Corporation. The transaction included the termination of a multiple year multi-million dollar remaining lease obligation of a 71,000 square foot distribution center leased by Agfa. The negotiated transaction resulted in the elimination of millions of dollars of costs for Agfa. The property, owned by a New Jersey investment group, is located at 721 Union Boulevard, Totowa, New Jersey.

He added “Through the intelligent application of RealStrat’s Occupancy Arbitrage Services, we succeeded in not only mitigating our client’s long term risk, but in achieving the elimination of a very substantial portion of its remaining financial obligation. In summary, we reduced our client’s occupancy costs by millions of dollars!”
