Real Estate Strategies Corporation Negotiates Major Expansion and Cost Reduction Strategy for Agfa Corporation Distribution Center

(Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, announced today that the New Jersey based corporate real estate advisory and transaction services firm recently advised Agfa Corporation and executed a transaction for the expansion of the Company’s major east coast distribution facility in South Brunswick, New Jersey. The building, located at 400 Heller Park Court is situated in the industrial market surrounding NJ Turnpike Exit 8A. Agfa expanded it facility from 175,000 square feet to 275,000 square feet and extended its lease.

“Considering the combination of Agfa’s expansion and lease extension, in conjunction with favorable market conditions in the NJ Turnpike Exit 8A area, a landlord who understood deal-making, and our firm’s strategic approach to planning and executing Business Driven Real Estate Solutions on behalf of our clients, we were highly successful in achieving dramatic cost reductions on Agfa’s behalf” said Andrew Zezas. He added “And, as a result of restructuring many of the terms of Agfa’s original lease, we secured significant operational benefits and greater flexibility for the Company, thereby reducing its risk, as well! Agfa is among Real Estate Strategies Corporation’s most prestigious clients. We’re very pleased to have advised and represented Agfa on such an important engagement, and continue to serve the Company in other markets around the country.”

In 2010, Real Estate Strategies Corporation completed engagements on behalf of Agfa Corporation in excess of 850,000 square feet.

400 Heller Park Court is owned by an affiliate of New Jersey based Heller Industrial Parks.
