After CHI began its North- east operations with the hire of Machemer in 2018, CHI and an investment fund advised by The Carlyle Group acquired the site from 2020 Acquisitions in early 2019 and began construc- tion several months later. The CHI Northeast team, which is actively looking to expand its local portfolio, currently features an impressive 5-mil- lion s/f development pipeline of properties in NY, NJ and PA. Designed to appeal to the modern industrial worker, 50 Veronica Ave. was constructed with a range of features includ- ing large translucent windows that allow natural light and LED lights that create an open and bright working environ- ment. The class A property features 40-ft clear heights and includes 170 trailer parking spots, 159 dock positions, four drive-in ramps and doors, and 394 car spaces. Carlyle’s equity for its in- vestment in the Franklin Twp. development came from the Carlyle Realty Partners VIII fund .

activity to a standstill, there is still tremendous demand for state-of the-art logistics properties. Further, having LG in place as a long-term tenant made this a particularly desir- able asset. We’re thrilled with the result of our 50 Veronica Ave. development, which, as our first project in the North - east, serves as a prototype of a successful CHI develop- ment. With collaboration from the municipality and our key partners on this project, we were able to acquire, build and lease the property in less than
18 months, leveraging our extensive market knowledge and an expedited construction timeline to bring much-needed industrial space to Central New Jersey.” “It’s difficult to complete any transaction given the current situation, but the Cushman team did an excellent job of bypassing obstacles and bring- ing us to closing. Their skill at delivering the information and important attributes of the deal made the process very smooth from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives.”
