Goldstein Group reports retail vacancy rate Rte 4 in Paramus

   
 The Goldstein Group, New Jersey's leading retail real estate brokerage firm, recently completed its Route 4 retail vacancy report, which shows a 6.79 percent vacancy rate throughout the Route 4 corridor in Paramus, New Jersey an increase from last year's rate of 3.99 percent.

"The vacancy rate increased due to the closing of the Loew's Movie Theater which relocated to the Garden State Plaza," stated Chuck Lanyard, President of The Goldstein Group. "Prime store locations, the proximity to Manhattan and its location at the crossroads of some of New Jersey's most traveled highways, make Paramus the ultimate destination for national and local retailers, and consumers alike. Despite the vacancy rate increase of approximately 2.8%, the corridor remains one of the most sought after trades areas in the northeast."

"Paramus, with the highest retail sales in any other zip code in the United States along with a population of over 600,000 people in five miles continues to be one of the most desirable retail markets in the country," added Lanyard. "That figure is astounding considering the Paramus Blue Laws restrict stores from opening on Sundays"

The survey analyzed over 90 properties along the highway corridor from Hackensack Avenue to the Route 208 intersection in Paramus, which encompasses over 2.2 million square feet of retail space. The two malls in the corridor, the Bergen Mall and The Shops at Riverside Square, were excluded.

According to The Goldstein Group's analysis, the Route 4 corridor has over 154,000 square feet of available retail space. Vacancies include the movie theater, over 25,000 at the Shoppes at IV; over 20,000 square feet at the former Huffman Koos property; and the former Bassett Furniture store.

In 2007, over 197,000 square feet of retail space was committed to by retailers such as Lowe's, Road Runner, Van Heusen, Jeep Automobiles, Weight Watchers, 5 Guys Burgers, and Montage Floors.

Currently, 164,000 square feet of new construction is under development along Route 4. Adding to the desirability of the area is the redevelopment of one of the oldest malls in the state, the Bergen Mall by Vornado Corporation as well as the adjoining former Loew's theater complex, which will soon have a Lowe's home center and a 70,000 square foot new retail building with an undisclosed retail tenant. This will result in tremendous new opportunities for retailers and restaurateurs. Target and Whole Foods have committed to the new development taking place in the heart of the Route 4 corridor.

The Shoppes at Riverside Square which has been transformed into an upscale mall for specialty shops and numerous high end restaurants completed its huge expansion in 2007. New upscale retailers such as Tiffany's, Coach, Benetton and top quality restaurants such as Maggiano's, Rosa Mexicano and P.F. Changs opened.
