Beauty Concept Commits to 12,000 SF at Levin-Managed Retail Property
Strand Salon Studios is coming to Somerset Shopping Center in Bridgewater, expanding the growing brand’s brick-and-mortar footprint. Levin Management Corporation (LMC) is exclusive leasing and managing agent for the 219,000-square-foot Somerset County shopping center.
LMC Senior Leasing Representative Vanessa Fernandez-Kelty arranged the 12,000- square-foot lease on behalf of the landlord; Shane Wierks of Jeffery Realty represented the tenant.
