ASBURY, NJ, FEBRUARY 22, 2008 – J.G.

They also consummated a build-to-suit and long term lease with Weyerhaeuser Company at Forks Business Center in Forks Township, Pennsylvania, for a 100,000-square foot facility on 30 acres.   

In addition, Caccavo and Goldman are presently marketing two new state-of-the-art distribution facilities in New Jersey for JGPCO, the Middlesex Logistics Center at Exit 10 in Edison (571,000 square feet) and the Middlesex Intermodal Center at Exit 8A in New Brunswick (585,376 square feet), which features rail access.

“We are extremely honored to receive this award from J.G. Petrucci Company,” stated Frank Caccavo.  “They have a unique expertise in both redevelopment and brownfields reclamation, in addition to which they are very responsive and consistently demonstrate a strong focus on client satisfaction.”

“This was the first time in the five years we have named a “Broker of the Year,” that two brokers shared the award,” noted Jim Petrucci. “It was particularly fitting in this case, because JGPCO places great emphasis on our organization functioning as a team and Frank and Jason have truly proven themselves to be a team in every sense of the word.”
