agard Real Estate, a leading real estate investment firm, announced the acquisition of 19 Commerce Court West, a Class-B industrial property in South Brunswick, NJ. This marks the second investment in Sagard's newest fund, which targets seaport industrial and attainable rental housing in high-growth markets.
The 64,700-square-foot property was built in 1985 and renovated in 2024, featuring 22-foot clear heights, rear loading, and LED lighting. The shallow-bay configuration provides flexibility for single or multiple tenants, and an additional two acres of excess land can support future expansion. Located near I-95 and Port Newark, the property offers excellent connectivity to the Eastern Seaboard.
"We're excited to add 19 Commerce Court West to our portfolio as we continue building a foundation of high-performing assets in markets with strong growth potential," said Tyler Williams, Managing Director at Sagard Real Estate. "This acquisition aligns with our focus on investing in properties that combine strong market fundamentals with meaningful opportunities for value enhancement."
The Exit 8A submarket is one of New Jersey's most prominent industrial hubs, driven by e-commerce demand and efficient distribution channels. With low vacancy rates and strong rental growth, the area continues to attract significant investment interest.
Sagard Real Estate plans to improve the property's functionality through targeted upgrades, including additional dock-high doors, newly constructed office spaces, and an upgraded sprinkler system. These improvements aim to create a modern, high-performing industrial property that aligns with growing demand across the region's key distribution hubs.
