A regional school district has leased nearly 16,000 square feet in Totowa for a facility that will serve adults with special needs, in a newly announced deal by The Goldstein Group.
In a news release, the brokerage team said it represented Northern Region Educational Services Commission in the transaction at 515 Union Blvd. The nonprofit will use the 15,698-square-foot space for its Second Home Day Habilitation Center, which provides adult day services to individuals 21 and older who are medically fragile with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
NRESC, which is based in Wayne, will open the new facility this fall.
“It was a pleasure working with Second Home Day Habilitation Center to find its new home,” said Marc Palestina, a vice president with The Goldstein Group. “Relocating to Totowa’s central business district will allow them to expand their already successful program and allow their clients easier access to and from the center. I’m looking forward to seeing their new space come to fruition.”
Diane Brady of ReMax Neighborhood Properties represented the landlord, Totowa Investment Group LLC. In announcing the deal, The Goldstein Group noted that NRESC was founded in 1991 and is a nonprofit, state-approved public school district that provides educational, business, technology and transportation services to partner districts and municipalities throughout northern New Jersey.
The NRESC serves more than 80 entities in seven counties, the news release said. Second Home Day Habilitation Center offers specialized staff focusing on the areas of communication, daily living skills, functional life skills, independence, prevocational support and social skills that actively encourage their full inclusion and participation in the community while providing their families with respite.
