C.O.O. Jason Pucci & S.V.P. Justin Lupo Represent Purchaser in Completion of I.R.C. § 1031 Exchange

Woodbridge, N.J., February 11, 2022 – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent sale of a new Wawa food market and gas station under construction at 600 White Horse Pike in Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, for $6,967,033.

Chief operating officer Jason Pucci and senior vice president Justin Lupo represented the purchaser and longtime client, The Kamson Corporation. The seller was not disclosed.

The property will include 5,585 square feet of newly constructed retail space on 3.64 acres and a triple net ground lease with Wawa that includes an initial 20-year term, multiple renewal options and future rent increases. Opening is scheduled for later this year.

“This purchase was an excellent opportunity for Kamson,” said Mr. Pucci. “It marked the completion of a three-property I.R.C. Section 1031 Exchange in New Jersey from an older apartment complex into this well-located NNN Wawa, which is a strong tenant, with zero landlord responsibilities, and another new NNN Wawa in northern New Jersey that Kamson purchased last year.”

The Wawa property is ideally located at the confluence of White Horse Pike and Route 50, which is also known locally as Philadelphia Avenue.
