The relentless rise of e-commerce — spurred in part by widespread COVID-19 lockdowns — has been a bonanza for New Jersey, thanks to demand for warehousing space and so-called last-mile delivery services. But at the same time, energy prices have hit a gusher, leading to concerns about a stall in the demand for New Jersey’s warehousing and distribution services.

Fully leased last-mile distribution facility in New Jersey's industrial "wealth belt" sells.

ePost Global Inc. signed on for 41,256 square feet of industrial space in the heart of The Meadowlands Industrial Market.

The facility along the New Jersey Turnpike corridor accommodates supply chain logistics needs for Vandale Industries Inc. so it can get its products to customers with limited delay.

Nicholas Calafati joins the Edison fulfillment and distribution services company with more than 15 years in multi-channel distribution management experience.

The last-mile distribution facility in Carlstadt, in the heart of the infill Meadowlands Industrial market, is situated on 3 acres, just five miles from New York City and less than 1 mile from the New Jersey Turnpike.

The 234,000-square-foot facility will be its largest distribution center, and is equipped to assemble and ship 1.6 million meals per week at peak capacity.
