A growing provider of in-home care has taken more than 2,400 square feet of office space in downtown Summit, brokers with NAI James E. Hanson said Wednesday.
The tenant, Gratitude Homecare LLC, offers nonmedical care to seniors, disabled adults, those recovering from surgery, illness or injury and anyone who needs help with the activities of daily living, according to a news release. Its new 2,424-square-foot space at 129 Summit Ave. will support its continued expansion in the region, providing quick access to NJ Transit’s Summit station and Route 24, Interstate 78 and the Garden State Parkway.
NAI Hanson’s Andrew Kirshenbaum and Tom Ryan represented Devon Partner Properties LLC, the owner of the 11,400-square-foot office building, and the tenant in the lease.
“The office market in Union County and specifically downtown Summit is extremely competitive due to the favorable demographics and ease of access,” Kirshenbaum said. “Even then, in many cases when spaces may be available, they don’t fit the unique needs of a tenant like Gratitude Homecare. Because of this, exploring the market without the assistance of a full-service brokerage firm can often be a frustrating endeavor.
“We’re thrilled to have had a hand in finding a match between tenant and landlord that will ultimately help provide a needed service to the Summit community.”
