ONE SQUIBB DRIVE is located in Middlesex County, Cranbury, New Jersey and centered within the Exit 8A Industrial Market.

The Exit 8A Industrial Market originally grew out of the need from well located distribution facilities along the eastern seaboard and a diminished supply of affordable land to the north along Interstate 95 (the NJ Turnpike). Historically, national companies seeking new or expanded facilities have found competitively priced land and less costly rental rates within the Exit 8A Industrial Market.

This market has access to all major north/south and east/west interstate roadways and is in close proximity to the Port of Newark and the Port of Elizabeth. Additionally, within a one hour timeframe, has access to four airports; Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia Airport, La Guardia and JFK International Airports.

Based on the market’s accessibility, there is access to a large and diverse labor force including the Trenton/Princeton Corridor to the west, the New Jersey shore communities to the east and the City of New Brunswick to the north.

These key factors continue to be the primary reasons for locating within the Exit 8A Industrial Market.
