In 2017, Rockefeller Group identified a significant opportunity to develop a state-of-the-art distribution center on a 56-acre brownfield site in Edison, New Jersey. The location offered strategic advantages, including proximity to major transportation routes and access to the Port of New York and New Jersey, positioning it as an ideal hub for logistics and distribution operations.
