Previously based in East Rutherford, N.J., the local labor union’s search for a new regional headquarters brought it to Elmwood Park Plaza.

In addition, the building features ample on-site surface and covered parking and has approved zoning for both office and medical uses, making it an exceptionally suited location for a wide range of companies and organizations, like UFCW Local 888.

“We continue to see heightened demand for office space across our portfolio and remain bullish on the sector despite the challenges over the past two years,” said Steve Jennings, Vice President of Leasing and Marketing at Alfred Sanzari Enterprises. “For tenants like UFCW Local 888, the importance of having a space where employees can collaborate, and its members can easily access the location and services cannot be overstated and continues to drive demand across the sector.”

Rosalba Perez, Secretary Treasurer for UFCW Local 888 added, “As we sought to move our headquarters, we placed a premium on ensuring ease of access for all those we serve as well as adaptability to the wide range of programs and services we administer from our headquarters. Elmwood Park Plaza checked both of those boxes and we are confident that Alfred Sanzari Enterprises’ hands-on management will ensure we have a headquarters to be proud of for years to come.”
