Lou Filippone LevinManagement: Fitness chains remain among the most active retail tenant categories NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — As Americans’ focus on getting and staying in shape continues to gain momentum, fitness chains in a range of price points and sizes remain among the most active tenant categories leasing retail space, according to Levin Manage- ment Corporation (LMC) . Illustrating this trend, the commercial real estate services firm reports new gym leases and openings totaling just over 85,000 s/f throughout its portfo- lio during the past 18 months. “With New Year resolutions for healthy lifestyles on ev- eryone’s mind, this is a good time to reflect on the vital role fitness tenants are playing in shopping center tenant mix,” said Matthew Harding , LMC president. “They have become sought-after center staples and are significant traffic drivers, which benefits their co-ten- ants. Gyms also are wonder- ful neighborhood amenities, providing consumers with a convenient and cost-effective way to achieve their health and fitness goals.” Much of the LMC’s fitness chain leasing activity involves growing national brands look- ing to expand their presence in the Northeast marketplace. Most recently, in Dec., 24 Hour Fitness opened at Post Road Plaza in the Village of Pel- ham Manor, NY. In NJ, The Zoo Health Club and THE MAX Challenge are gearing up for early 2018 openings at Somerset Shopping Center in Bridgewater and Blue Star SC in Watchung, respectively. Other recent additions include Orangetheory Fitness at Brad- ford Plaza inWest Chester, PA, and Crunch Fitness at Rutgers Plaza in Franklin Twp., NJ. n
