According to an Aug. 9 announcement, the 80,420-square-foot property at 1 Electronics Drive in Hamilton Township is nearly 73% leased to three tenants.
Situated on 16 acres, the site includes 530 existing parking spaces as well as land for future development. Summit-based Saxum and Meadow intended to reposition and market the remaining space at the property. The work is designed to accommodate the persistent need for shallow-bay industrial and flex users .
The new owners highlighted the convenience of the property for logistics, life sciences and research users, in particular, due to its proximity to both Philadelphia, New York City and Princeton. Additionally, the location is desirable for small bay users due to the area's "unique combination of affluent neighborhoods adjacent to pockets of historically blue-collar residential areas."
“Originally constructed as a manufacturing facility, 1 Electronics Drive represents an excellent opportunity to convert the property back to its historical use at an attractive cost-basis,” said Jeffrey Kaplan, founder and managing partner of Meadow Partners. “We are thrilled to partner with Saxum to capitalize on significant tenant demand in the shallow-bay industrial sector.”
JLL Capital Markets represented the seller, BTR Capital Group, as well as arranged equity and debt financing for the buyer.

We are excited to leverage Saxum’s fully integrated platform to execute this value-add business plan and establish a new partnership with Meadow,” said Steve Feinberg, director of Investments | Industrial.
