Planet Fitness is coming to Twin City Shopping Center in Jersey City, bringing the 95,000-square-foot, grocery-anchored property to full occupancy. The fitness brand has leased a 16,000-square-foot space at the center, located at the intersection of Garfield Avenue/Broadway and 53rd Street.
Levin Management Corporation (LMC) serves as leasing and managing agent for Twin City Shopping Center. E.J. Moawad, LMC senior leasing representative, arranged the lease on behalf of the property ownership. Jack Chera of Ripco Real Estate LLC represented Planet Fitness in the transaction.
The Planet Fitness commitment builds on significant leasing momentum at Twin City Shopping Center, where recent additions include PB Club, Jersey City’s first dedicated indoor pickleball facility; children’s play concept Catch Air and Sakura Teriyaki. The center’s tenant lineup also includes Aqui Market, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Dunkin’, along with a variety of neighborhood retailers and service providers.
“Planet Fitness is a strong addition to Twin City Shopping Center and a great fit for this neighborhood property,” said Moawad. “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.”
The Planet Fitness lease brings Twin City Shopping Center to full occupancy and follows a period of leasing activity and capital investment at the property. Recent improvements include façade and stonework upgrades, sidewalk enhancements, LED site lighting, pylon signage, fencing, landscaping and Tesla EV chargers.
