Additionally, the property will offer 650 square feet of retail space and 149 parking spaces.

The community will offer exceptional access to Central and Northern New Jersey via nearby highways, including I-287, I-78 and Route 22.

Additionally, the site is approximately 34 miles west of New York City and is walkable to commuter rail service to Manhattan.

The Rail at Bound Brook’s location is further enhanced with downtown’s designation as a Transit Village by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Michael Klein and Jon Mikula and Vice President Michael Lachs.

“Bound Brook has experienced a resurgence of new multi-housing development as demand continues to outweigh supply. The Rail at Bound Brook will provide best-in-class amenities and luxury,” said Mikula.
