Levin Management Corp. achieved 100% occupancy rates at six centers in 2025
Levin Management Corp. (LMC), a real estate services firm that handles 125 properties in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, hit the million-square-foot leasing mark in 2025.
In so doing, it achieved 100% occupancy rates at six centers: Flemington Marketplace. St. Georges Crossing, North Village Shopping Center, and Hamilton Plaza in New Jersey; Post Road Plaza in New York, and Crossroads Place in Virginia.
“Retailer demand is concentrating around strong open-air centers with high-performing anchors in the right trade areas, and we’re seeing those properties outperform,” said LMC’s CEO Matthew K. Harding.
“In many cases,” he added, “performance is strong enough that we’re right-sizing centers — reshaping space and tenant mix to match what today’s retailers want and what our communities support, including adding new opportunities through outparcel development where it fits.”
At Blue Star Shopping Center in Watchung, N.J., the center’s redevelopment delivered a new, expanded ShopRite that helped drive fresh leasing momentum. In 2025, Blue Star signed eight new leases totaling more than 82,000 square feet, led by Burlington and a Marshalls relocation, along with Five Below, Back Nine Golf, Honeygrow, and Taco Bell.
Outparcel redevelopment momentum sparked by Target and continued outparcel development drove strong leasing demand at West Orange Plaza in West Orange, N.J., expanding the center’s wellness and food-and-beverage lineup. New tenants there included VIO Med Spa, Namkeen Hot Chicken Joint, and Quickway Japanese Hibachi.
Notable openings across LMC’S entire portfolio included Planet Fitness at Blue Star, Target at Flemington Marketplace; Total Wine & More at North Village Shopping Center; Burlington at St. Georges Crossing; Boot Barn at Somerset Shopping Center, and Michaels at Post Road Plaza.
The North Plainfield, N.J.-based LMC is a 70-year-old third-party real estate services provider that manages properties totaling 16 million square feet, primarily in grocery-anchored, open-air retail centers.
