being kept as best practices.” LMC in recent months ne- gotiated two expansions with grocer ShopRite (in Delran and Watchung, NJ). In Delran, ShopRite added 6,250 s/f (for a total of 70,600 s/f) to accommo- date a larger selection of fresh, ready-made meal offerings, and provide additional space for the supermarket’s online shopping service, “ShopRite from Home.” Looking ahead through the balance of 2022, Harding ac- knowledges that change may be coming in the near-term. “Of course, we are all watching the economy, and though we haven’t seen changing condi- tions impact activity – yet – we may experience a slight slowdown through year-end,” he said. “Yet despite uncer- tainties, retail remains on a positive trajectory. Ultimately, people like the experience of shopping in physical stores, and they are doing so. This benefits retailers as well as the shopping centers that house them.” MAREJ
NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — Amid ongoing supply chain disruption, rising in- flation and well-documented labor challenges, the retail industry – and the commer- cial real estate product that supports it – continues to see notable post-pandemic momentum.

board, tenants are capital- izing on space availabilities that came online due to the pandemic.” The North Plainfield-based commercial real estate ser- vices firm closed 634,000 s/f in new leases, renewals/exten- sions and license agreements from January through June – with more in the pipeline. The discount retail, enter- tainment, home furnishings and dining categories are among the most active region-
“We are watching existing space availabilities tighten at well-located properties and seeing stepped-up interest in pad site development,” noted LMC’s Sidney Singer , vice president of leasing. “Further, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in the ways retailers are doing business. Supermarkets are a great example of how changes made out of necessity during the pandemic – such as delivery service, curbside pick- up and ‘click and collect’ – are
