Retail refresh: Expansion by grocers, big boxes spurring major updates of New Jersey shopping centers

New Jersey is largely built out, at least as far as the best locations are concerned, meaning redevelopment is often the only option.

Those landlords are now renovating their assets in conjunction with the new anchor leases, which figures to help attract new retailers to those properties.
