MORRISTOWN, N.J., March 23, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has completed the $29.6 million sale of The Hub at Metuchen, a Class A, transit-oriented mixed-use residential and retail property in Metuchen, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

JLL marketed the property exclusively on behalf of the seller, Renaissance Properties. A private buyer purchased the asset as part of a 1031 exchange requirement free and clear of existing financing.

 Located in central New Jersey, just off Interstate 287 and less than a 10-minute walk from the Metuchen train station, the property offers residents convenient access to all of the New York City metro’s major employment centers, including Manhattan in 45 minutes. 

Metuchen’s convenient access to transportation has led to a recent renaissance in the vibrant downtown, reflected by over 100,000 square feet of retail and 428 apartment units delivered since 2014 within a half-mile of the Metuchen Station.

Completed in 2018, The Hub at Metuchen consists of a mix of 79 luxury apartments averaging 899 square feet along with 11,203 square feet of retail and a total of 136 parking spaces.
