and building deeper relation- ships with retailers.” The Lacey Township prop- erty’s location – in an area that lacks retail banking resources and is home to a large senior citizen population – was a key consideration in the acquisi- tion, according to Timothy Connell , vice president of JDA. “Drive-through service has long been a desirable feature of highway retail, and over the past two years during the pandemic these establishments have proven their worth,” Connell noted. “Further, many older adults still prefer face-to-face interac- tions at branch locations, and Ocean County is underserved for retail banking locations.” The 106 North Main St. property is well-located along Rte. 9 and near the Garden State Parkway in the heart of Ocean County. The prop- erty represents the second retail real estate purchase outside of JDA’s home base in Hudson County in recent months. In late 2021, the firm acquired 2215 Rte. 4 East in Fort Lee; the nearly half-acre site features an 1,800 s/f retail building fully occupied by a Starbucks Coffee store and a free-standing Bank of America ATM kiosk. JDA Group is known for its results-oriented approach to real estate ownership, with a development andmanagement track record of successful, ground-up multifamily and commercial adaptive-reuse projects, and more than 100 office tenant buildouts over the past 20 years. One of its prominent build- ings is the Mission 50 office and coworking community in Hoboken, NJ. MAREJ
LACEY TOWNSHIP , NJ — Hoboken-based JDA Group LLC (JDA) is expand- ing into the Ocean County retail real estate market with the acquisition of 106 North Main St. in Lacey Township. The purchase aligns with the development firm’s strategic plan to expand its portfolio with income-producing as- sets – especially those that carry future development op- portunity – in the greater New York/New Jersey region. The two-acre site – situated at the corner of Lacey Rd. and Rte. 9 in the Forked River section of the township – is fully leased to TDBank, which maintains a 6,000 s/f retail bank facility with four drive- through lanes. The property has in-place approvals for up to 5,000 s/f of additional retail GLA. Anthony D’Ambrosia of Marcus & Millichap’s Man- hattan office represented the undisclosed seller in the $5.96 million, off-market transac- tion. JDA handled the deal directly. “We are growing from our traditional Northern New Jersey base with this acqui- sition, yet it represents a natural next step in our long- term growth plan,” said JDA CEO Gregory Dell’Aquila . “Single tenant, triple-net- lease properties are known for their stability and resilience regardless of market condi- tions. Aside from giving us the opportunity to acquire our first stand-alone retail property in Ocean County, this income-producing as- set aligns perfectly with our company’s strategic plan for expanding regionally, seeking redevelopment opportunities,
citing to help this top-notch retailer enter the New York City market with a new store on Staten Island,” said Brian Katz, CEO, Katz & Associates. “We are actively seeking loca- tions in all of the other bor- oughs and expect to have more exciting news soon. Hobby Lobby has more than 900 stores across the nation.
Katz and Daniel DePasquale helped secure the location along with Graeme Keith of The Keith Corp.
