MORRISTOWN, N.J., July 10, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the sale of a shallow bay industrial facility totaling 81,000 square feet in Morris County, N.J.
JLL represented the seller, LM Real Estate Partners, in the transaction. NorthBridge Partners acquired the asset.
The asset located at 385 Franklin Avenue in Rockaway consists of a multi-tenant, shallow-bay layout delivering functional warehouse and distribution space to a diverse tenant roster with an average suite size of 7,400 square feet. The building features 22-foot clear heights and flexible loading configurations with 13 dock doors across 11 tenants.
The asset benefits from a Morris County location with immediate access to major transportation corridors, sitting less than one mile from US Route 46 and 2.5 miles from Interstate 80. This connectivity enables efficient distribution throughout Northern New Jersey and the broader New York metropolitan area, where over 8.8 million people reside within 60 minutes of the properties.
Managing Directors Nicholas Stefans and Jason Lundy and Senior Analyst Luke Ceccoli led the JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller.
"Shallow-bay industrial properties in Northern New Jersey continue attracting significant capital as investors recognize the durability of demand from local distribution, light manufacturing and specialty logistics users," Stefans said.
Lundy added, “Functional, multi-tenant product will continue to be a major focus of institutional capital as the supply and demand imbalance in core markets for like-kind product remains robust.”
