Walmart Supercenter To Open In Linden Shopping Center

LINDEN, NJ — Walmart has signed a lease to open a Supercenter at the recently announced shopping center named Legacy Square, located at the intersection of US Routes 1/9 (West Edgar Road) and Pleasant Avenue in Linden, according to Cypress Equities.

Legacy Square conducted a groundbreaking in late May, with construction of the initial phase of the development – approximately 21 acres – now in progress. This includes the 186,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter, up to six pad sites fronting W. Edgar Road and a potential hotel site.

Cypress has already begun the on-site and environmental work at Legacy Square for Walmart’s pad and is slated to have construction of the building underway within the next six months. Upon completion of the Supercenter next year, Walmart plans to relocate the associates at their existing Linden store, located less than a mile away, to the new store at Legacy Square.

Cypress also plans to begin construction of the project’s second phase before the end of the year. When completed, Legacy Square will include approximately 350,000 square feet of retail space.
