Urban Edge Leases Up Former Retail Turned Warehouse

AAA Wholesale Group has leased 130,000 square feet in an Urban Edge Properties building at the intersection of Route 17 and Essex Street in Lodi, NJ. Formerly a retail site housing a 170,000-square-foot National Wholesale Liquidators store, the building will serve as a wholesale membership club supplying smaller grocery stores, delis, and convenience stores.

In addition, approximately 20,000 square feet will be allocated to consumers who want to shop in-store.

AAA has locations in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and this facility will be its first in New Jersey. “Lodi is an ideal location for our buyers with excellent commercial access and easy loading,” said Alex Almontaser, founder and CEO of AAA Wholesale.

Urban Edge is making improvements to the existing building to allow conversion of the first story to a 103,000-square-foot high-bay warehouse.
