Gibbons Handles All Development Aspects of Major Turnpike Corridor Industrial Project
Real Estate New Jersey recently reported on Prologis, the publicly-traded global leader in logistics real estate, regarding its development of nearly 1 million square feet of industrial space in Burlington Township, New Jersey. Gibbons represented DCT Industrial Trust, which was subsequently acquired by Prologis, in all development aspects of the project, including entitlements and redevelopment agreements, such as tax abatements, as well as litigation challenging the development approvals granted to DCT – which was successfully concluded with the court dismissing the challenge. The regional significance of this project is notable, thanks to its location proximate to a recently widened stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike where it meets the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which has made the area all the more attractive to industrial users. Douglas J. Janacek, Chair of the Gibbons Real Property Department, and Department Directors Russell B. Bershad and Jennifer Phillips Smith were primarily responsible for the legal services provided in connection with this project. Real Estate New Jersey’s story on the project can be found here.
