Wegman’s to anchor new NRDC center
National Realty & Development Corp. landed a supermarket anchor for its new project in Middletown, New Jersey, and it’s a whopper.
Wegman’s — which tied with Publix in a recentsurveyas America’s favorite grocer — has committed to a 130,000-sq.-ft. space at The Shoppes at Middletown. This will be Wegman’s seventh New Jersey location and will employ an “open-air café” concept featuring displays of fresh foods.
The 340,000-sq.-ft., ground-up development will be co-anchored by CMX, “The VIP Cinema Experience,” which will erect a six-screen theatre at The Shoppes, located on Route 35 at the intersection of Kings Highway East in Monmouth County.
NRDC president John Orrico reported that the center will adhere to modern environmental standards with energy efficient lighting, drought tolerant plants, and vehicle charging stations.
“This is not your ordinary shopping center,” Orrico said. “The Shoppes at Middletown will greatly enhance the retail environment along this part of the Route 35 in keeping with the charm of the community.”
The center is scheduled to open in early 2020.
