A Planet Fitness gym will be opening at the Twin City Shopping Center in Jersey City.
The fitness chain has leased 16,000 square feet at the shopping center, located at the intersection of Garfield Ave./Broadway and 53rd Street. The lease brings the 95,000-square-foot, grocery-anchored property to full occupancy.
Levin Management Corp., a North Plainfield-based commercial real estate services firm, serves as leasing and managing agent for the center.
The fitness center addition follows recent leasing activity at Twin City Shopping Center. PB Club, Jersey City’s first dedicated indoor pickleball facility, recently opened at the property, along with children’s play concept Catch Air and Sakura Teriyaki.
“Planet Fitness is a strong addition to Twin City Shopping Center and a great fit for this neighborhood property,” said E.J. Moawad, a senior leasing representative with Levin who arranged the lease on behalf of the property ownership.
“Our focus has been on strengthening the tenant mix with established operators and uses that serve the surrounding community. Planet Fitness, together with recent additions like PB Club and Catch Air, builds on that strategy and gives customers even more reasons to visit the center,” Moawad added.
The center’s other tenants include Aqui Market, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Dunkin’, along with neighborhood retailers and service providers.
The property has undergone capital improvements including façade and stonework upgrades, sidewalk enhancements, LED site lighting, pylon signage, fencing, landscaping and Tesla EV chargers.
Twin City Shopping Center sits on the Jersey City/Bayonne border just off Exit 14A of the New Jersey Turnpike.
