Aon opted to move its suburban workplace into the Bannockburn Corporate Center building owned by Sentinel Net Lease and was last eyeing a space of only around 40,000-square-feet in the property Tech company Alight Solutions ditched its 200,000-square-foot space at 4 Overlook Point in 2023 scaling back its operation by 90 percent in a move to downtown Chicago Mike Smith and Matthew Ishikawa were initially hired to list the property the deal closed after it was marketed via auction by Marcus & Millichap’s John Abuja Editor’s note: This article has been updated to include comments from Woodcrest Capital and clarify the agents involved in the sale Texas-based Woodcrest Capital has acquired the former 31-acre Aon headquarters within the 330-acre Lincolnshire Corporate Center with the intention of bringing new life to it with highly competitive lease rates Filling an 818,000-square-foot property is a complex task in today’s market but one assisted by the good condition of the buildings and the rents able to be offered based on the new landlord’s own purchase cost president of asset management for Woodcrest “I think it’s reflective of the difficulties in the market right now While the company’s first choice would be a single user as the mid-1990s complex had before The Class A property at 4 Overlook Point also has its own 50,000-square-foot data center not more than five or six years old Roy said there is already interest in the company’s ability to offer leases 80% below market rate “We have a lot of people calling in disbelief at the numbers,” he said Lincolnshire’s community and economic development director said officials were heartened to hear of Woodcrest’s purchase of and vision for the property Though it was known that Aon was downsizing over the last several years the village hadn’t had long to focus on the property as a vacancy because the insurance company’s lease of the entirety had only recently ended The purchase now is hoped to have an influence on the health of the much larger corporate center as a whole “I think that is the heart of the corporate center,” Roesler said of Woodcrest’s purchase “It does have a lot of potential to serve as a catalyst.” Even though the rest of the center is still a source of competition for tenants “I think it’s going to bring a lot back to the corporate center,” he said Despite the advantages the property boasts and what he characterized as Woodcrest’s particular nimbleness and creativity in the market Roy said it’s still difficult to estimate the time it may take to make and announce deals with potential tenants (WOLO)– The South Carolina Department of Transportation will close and detour the Woodcrest Drive bridge in Richland County for repairs beginning on January 6 Woodcrest

drives to use caution in the area and pay attention to signs and crews Logan County Commissioner Charlie Meadows has voiced strong opposition to a proposed millage increase for the Woodcrest Fire Department (WFD) Speaking during Monday’s Board of County Commissioners meeting Meadows said he is part of a citizen group actively campaigning against the increase which would raise the department’s funding rate from 6% to 10% This increase aims to improve emergency response times upgrade Insurance Services Office (ISO) ratings and support full-time firefighter and EMT positions “I’ve been working an involved effort to defeat the request by the Woodcrest Fire Department to increase their millage rate by 66% of money that they get,” Meadows said Voters in the WFD district will decide on the proposal in Tuesday’s vote The measure follows similar increases passed in August for the Oak Cliff and Deer Creek fire departments where voters approved a 3% increase from 7% to 10% Meadows stated his belief that voters will reject the proposal which he called a significant property tax increase “I believe the voters will reject the attempt by the Woodcrest Fire Department to increase our property taxes by 66% of their millage levy,” Meadows stated “The main reason I oppose this tax increase is because I care more about the people in the Southeast part of this district having fire protection than having the Woodcrest Fire Chief getting a big fat paycheck,” Meadows said He argued that WFD should remain an all-volunteer department Woodcrest Fire Chief Luke Young responded to Meadows’ comments stating that this is not the time for “political games.” Young urged the public to focus on the department’s essential role in meeting emergency needs a time for the people we serve and doing everything we can to meet their needs in an emergency,” he said in a social media post Meadows also raised concerns about campaign sign theft claiming that over 50% of “No” signs were stolen over 50 percent of the signs we put out the day before had been stolen,” Meadows said He called on Chief Young and the Board Chairman to instruct all firefighters and supporters not to engage in such acts adding that failure to do so should lead to resignations “I don’t want to speculate as to who stole them but I call on the Chief (Young) and the Chairman of the Board to make sure all firefighters are instructed not to steal the signs as well as go on their social media and tell all supporters not to steal the signs which is a criminal act If they are unwilling to do this they should immediately resign.” Meadows also announced plans to request increased patrols from Sheriff Damon Devereaux on election day along with Guthrie Public Schools Superintendent Dr has endorsed a “Yes” vote to support additional funding for the fire department Meadows’ term will end in December after he was defeated by Coffman in an August runoff despite his earlier prediction of an 85% chance of winning with at least 60% of the vote Coffman ultimately secured the election with nearly 55% of the vote and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1"

Check out my experience post Nashville Hot Style Chicken is typically prepared by first marinating the chicken in a brine overnight When ordered the chicken is coated in the Asad’s signature seasoning blend and can be requested in a variety of heat levels Each order is prepared fresh to your liking I visited an Asad’s Hot Chicken location in Philadelphia earlier this month and was served a very large chicken tender which can be ordered as a slider sandwich smoothies and two flavor options for pudding this well-known shopping center is close to the Route 295 exit which should provide quick and easy access for customers visiting from other South Jersey towns from even further out The unit for Asad’s was most recently Alamodak Restaurant & Lounge, which according to the popular South Jersey Food Scene website opened early in 2023 Prior to that the unit was home to Woodcrest Pizza while the new Asad’s signage was installed on the unit front the front glass still represented the Alamodak restaurant Asad’s Hot Chicken opened its first South Jersey location in Burlington NJ just last year.  Earlier this month 42Freeway broke the news on Asad’s second South Jersey location which will be coming very soon to the Winslow Plaza in Sicklerville.  Asad’s has now formally confirmed the Sicklerville location taking over the former PDQ chicken restaurant building Asad Khan is a Philly native with a significant food industry background.  Growing up around restaurants and food helped develop his passion for restaurants at a very young age Industry reports say he opened his first Asad’s Hot Chicken restaurant in Northeast Philadelphia in 2022.  The menu for all locations is halal While they’ve only been around a short time Asad’s really has connected with the community as it’s common to wait in long lines to get your order during key lunch and dinner hours for days and weeks afterwards it can be difficult to get even close to the place As mentioned Asad’s uses delicious large chicken tenders with their own secret recipe of spicy seasonings and the Asad’s Secret Sauce There are four different levels of spice with the chicken seasoning; Mild And of course there’s an option for no spice at all Like many of the more recent chicken restaurants coming into South Jersey (including Raising Cane’s and Dave’s)… there is a simplified menu offered which at Asad’s means 6 combos in total with five of the options based on chicken tenders and the slider sandwich variant at least when i visited in Philadelphia… is a platter of Assad’s loaded French fries If you’ve never been to Asad’s likely the best choice and top selling combo is the Number One slider with fries So another aspect of Assad’s popularity is Value He’s found an amazing price point which connects with customers… the popular #1 Slider Combo is priced at under $10 As mentioned they offer milkshakes which are available in six different innovative flavors including Nutella Magic Fruit Smoothies are offered in 5 flavors including Razzle Dazzle For dessert they offer Strawberry or Banana pudding flavors I have no timing on when this Cherry Hill location will open but it’s interesting they have the signage up already For the Sicklerville location they posted 2 days ago on Instagram that it’s coming soon and they’re getting the promotional effort started.  Asad himself was featured in that video at that Sicklerville location so it makes me think the Sicklerville opening is coming soon.  I’m on top of it Asad’s Hot Chicken – Coming Soon1400 Haddonfield-Berlin RdCherry Hill Categories News Super Buy Rite Liquors West Deptford Announces Closing Woodstown Pub Off Main is Open at Woodstown Diner 2024 at 1:58 pm PT.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Luis Talavera Huato was slated to answer charges Tuesday after being arrested on suspicion of robbery in the Woodcrest (Riverside County Sheriff Booking Photo)LAKE MATHEWS CA — A 20-year-old Perris resident was arrested on suspicion of committing a robbery in the Woodcrest area Luis Talavera Huato was arrested Friday and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on pending charges of home invasion robbery he was held on $1 million bail and was slated to answer charges Wednesday at the Riverside Hall Of Justice Lake Mathews Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to a suspicious circumstance in the 15000 block of Washington Street in the unincorporated area of Riverside and tied him up before burglarizing the residence," according to Sgt "The burglars fled the location a short time later and the victim was able to free himself of the restraints and call 911 adding that the suspects allegedly removed several handguns and two vehicles during the robbery Paramedics and patrol deputies reached the house within minutes and the senior was treated for minor injuries but not hospitalized deputies in Perris spotted one of the stolen cars and summoned a sheriff's helicopter crew for assistance in following it fled when the patrol unit signaled him to pull over culminating in a westbound pursuit into Good Hope the defendant lost control and plowed into a roadside fence causing a fire in the car's engine compartment County fire personnel arrived moments later and doused the flames consuming the vehicle Deputies found Huato with the help of a K-9 unit and took him into custody without further incident "The second suspect was not located," Montalvo said "Investigators are still working to identify and locate that suspect."

view of the Legacy Club at Woodcrest course from the clubhouse windows Alex Lahn at The Legacy Club at Woodcrest in Cherry Hill The Legacy Club at Woodcrest in Cherry Hill One of the earliest memories for Randy Lahn was of caddying at Cherry Hill's Woodcrest Country Club for his father who was president of the private golf course was a South Jersey real estate developer who raised his family in Medford and worked from his firm's offices next to the old Olga's Diner at the Routes 70 and 73 traffic circle Randy followed his father into the family firm developed his own businesses and this month took over the 92-year-old club on 178 acres rebranding it The Legacy Club at Woodcrest Lahn would not disclose the purchase price for the property and assets at Evesham and Haddonfield-Berlin roads "It just seemed like a natural thing to want to buy it and own it for myself and my family," Lahn told 70and73.com in a telephone interview from his Boca Raton He also maintains a Cherry Hill home and one in Utah Through his Lahn Hospitality & Amusement Group the developer plans to invest $10 million in course and amenity improvements to transform Legacy into a venue to attract families — and not just golfers — over the next few years The developer said the club will remain as just that — a country club according to a 2016 deed restriction made after Cherry Hill Township purchased development rights to ensure that the property's operations remain "consistent with its long recreational history," according to the deed restriction of the Haddonfield firm of Archer & Greiner assured the Township in a September letter that Lahn understood the development restrictions in the deed Lahn recognizes that Woodcrest Country Club is a cornerstone of the community in Cherry Hill Township and looks forward to working with the Township to preserve Woodcrest County Club into the future," McGovern wrote In his 70and73.com interview, Lahn emphasized that, despite the rumors, the Legacy Club will not house another Funplex the amusement and water park attractions that his company operates in Mount Laurel But Lahn's strategy is to attract both golfers who want to play a top course (he wants to make it one of the top 50 in the nation) as well as their families "It is our intention to keep the Legacy a class-one golf facility," he said "There's a distinct synergy between the family entertainment business that we're in and a golf course that caters to families." the new owners will make improvements to the 14-year-old clubhouse by the end of next June and enhance the driving range work will begin on a new recreational building for members that will overlook the golf course arcade games and bowling alleys between the first and second floors with a view of the first and 18th holes will be added He said the recreational building will have two bars: one for adults and one for children An indoor/outdoor pool also will overlook the course and be open year-round "So that the total family can play together," Lahn said A babysitting area will be added to the recreational building so members can drop off the kids and have dinner at the clubhouse without worry The clubhouse's restaurant and large bar will be open to the public Lahn expects to build rooms for course visitors to stay overnight — guests ranging from people attending weddings at the clubhouse to golfers traveling from afar who want to remain on the course What will be the Legacy's primary golf market But Lahn also has his marketing eye on the growing number of people living in Center City Philadelphia luxury apartments The new club will try "to make a convenient, close place for the Center City people to be able to play," he told 70and73.com whose golf clubs would be stored at the course A club-operated shuttle service would pick up golfers from the PATCO Speedline station and take them to the course A Center City golfer's clubs will be sitting on a cart The Legacy Club will remain a private 18-hole course The high-end golf and amenity improvements come with a high-end membership fee A one-time initiation fee of $10,000 is charged the golfer who is 39 or older; it's $5,000 for under 39, according to the Legacy's membership brochure for the golfer 39 or older is $10,000 a year calling the Lahn enterprise a family business almost seems an understatement others in the Legacy ownership group include son Alex Lahn Williams is CEO of Lahn Hospitality & Amusement Group and Lucas was the club's operations director and will serve as the course superintendent The word "legacy" in the new name of the club also applies to the Lahn family Just as Herbert Lahn trained and brought Randy into the business who is temporarily overseeing the club as general manager until one can be hired who is marketing director for the parent company And the Lahn's development business spans families His wife, Patricia, who grew up in the Woodcrest area of Cherry Hill, is the daughter of the late Roger Davis, who founded real estate development company Davis Enterprises in Marlton built and manages more than 2,000 apartments in South Jersey including the Sagemore rental community in Marlton It also developed and operates The Promenade at Sagemore on Route 73 now owns Davis Enterprises and she serves as a professional designer for both her family firm as well as Lahn Hospitality "She's a key partner," he told 70and73.com Roger Davis was an integral part of the country club as well Lenape High School and the University of Miami Among his father's developments was Hoot Owl Estates in Medford A key to bringing family into the business is to let them make mistakes as they learn you won't have a family business for long," he added Randy Lahn said he hopes his firm will be in the family for generations He said generational businesses sometimes succeed and sometimes they do not but Lahn Hospitality already has made it to its third generation Lahn said the business long ago was interested in continuing to develop in parts of Burlington County but then the Pinelands restrictions came along He developed Pine Canyon Golf on Route 73 in Voorhees He said son Alex learned to golf by hanging around the 10 pros who worked there and daughter Amanda used to run the cash register His goal with Pine Canyon was to own a relatively recession-proof operation that had real estate value underpinning the business "The real estate play in that case was the best play," Lahn said "It gave us that ability to sit there until real estate development started to come in around us." development along Route 73 in Voorhees boomed and Lahn ended up selling the Pine Canyon land to the developer of the BJ's Wholesale Club location owning the Jefferson Hotel and Columbus Hotel in Atlantic City The Lahn corporate headquarters will move into the building on Old Marlton Pike near Routes 70 and 73 in Marlton where Lahn's father opened his office in 1953 The building had been rented for years by a residential real estate office but now it will be converted back into a home for the Lahn family business said he and his sister grew up in the family business was raised on Willowdale Drive in the Woodcrest section of Cherry Hill just over a mile from Woodcrest Country Club Beck Middle and Cherry Hill East High School before going to the University of Hartford in Connecticut "We used to come to brunch here all of the time," said Alex an avid golfer who has not found himself hitting the ball much since he began overseeing the club Alex proudly gave 70and73.com a tour of the clubhouse pointing out the planned improvements and enhancements in the locker room As the Woodcrest County Club entered the 2000's facing heavy debts and a major lender that that took over its operations the club was sold at bankruptcy auction for $10.1 million to Cherry Hill Land Associates LLC a unit of Marlton-based First Montgomery Group Cherry Hill Land Associates later sued the Township seeking to build 844 apartments on the club property The Township purchased development rights for the property in 2016 preserving it as recreational space and Cherry Hill Land Associates has developed residential property elsewhere in the Township Two large projects are under development in Cherry Hill’s Woodcrest Station area; The Enclave at Woodcrest Station is a 370-unit residential development and a 162,000 square foot warehouse directly next to the new residential development The Enclave at Woodcrest Station just recently made that name official, and just last week created a Facebook page which you can “Like” to follow along for latest information from them MarltonPike.com made a visit last week and took some drone images of the projects Considering their location going somewhat further back off the road well the drone images will make it clearer to readers and residents of the development statuses on the projects as a quick “bring-you-up-to-speed” commentary on the two Woodcrest area projects and how they came to be The project area is Northeast of the Woodcrest Patco Train Station which is a key transportation route for many South Jersey towns heading into Philadelphia’s Center City commercial district The land for the two projects comes from the former Victory Refrigeration property which was a 230,000 square foot facility that was demolished in 2016 The original Cherry Hill Township redevelopment plan from 2018 looked to take advantage of the proximity to the popular Woodcrest Patco train station envisioning the full property to be developed with a mixture of residential Essentially the core plan was envisioned as a “Transit Village” concept which is a dream development touted by towns for areas around most train/transportation stations For redevelopment purposes the property was split into two areas “Victory West and East” The West segment was planned to be a large residential project sitting closest to the Patco train station and the East segment was earmarked for commercial development (offices Local streets were expected to connect the residents on the West side to the shops and restaurants on the East In that same 2018 redevelopment plan it clearly listed Industrial/Warehouses as prohibited for both sections of the Victory property But soon after that initial redevelopment plan was created the world was impacted by a global pandemic While the residential portion for West segment proceeded on and is being developed now there were some questions regarding the continued viability of the commercial development outlined for the East section According to the Courier-Post newspaper a year ago development and logistics firm NFI Industries of Camden NJ prepared their own report showing that in a post-pandemic world there currently wasn’t a market to support the originally envisioned commercial district at the Victory East segment of the project (created just 3 years prior) NFI’s report and commentary showed that in contrast to retail and office the industrial leasing market was fast growing Add to that the property location being close to Rt 295 and the Turnpike developing a warehouse for the Victory East segment was a better suited development for the property Interestingly the residential developer owned the entire property and seemingly sees no problems with the warehouse being developed next to their luxury housing complex as they sold the Victory East property knowing a warehouse was planned Area news website 70and73.com in March 2022 published an article on the warehouse approval and quotes Board member Marlyn Kalitan as commenting in the meeting: “I’m disappointed that we had this wonderful plan It almost feels like every other meeting now we have these bait-and-switch meetings where we start out with a wonderful plan and we end up with a plan that isn’t so wonderful.” As mentioned the originally planned residential development did continue into development and it is expected to lease the first units in the summer of 2023 The large multi-building residential complex is now officially named Enclave at Woodcrest Station. Their Facebook page was just created this month and currently has less than 20 likes. You can follow them here The project will consist of 6 residential buildings offering a total of 370 units The project features a central green park area the developers are already looking to further improve the development by returning to the Planning Board to refine the community aspects looking for approval on development of a two-story clubhouse as well as other outdoor activity areas such as pickle-ball courts The two L-shaped frontmost buildings are the largest and also the most furthest along in the development They form an entrance main street into the Enclave which leads to the center green space and community area The buildings are 4-stories tall and feature recessed exterior balconies As of last week three of the buildings were fully enclosed with roofs The back three buildings are in various stages of development Currently they do not have a website for the Enclave at Woodcrest Station so I am unaware of the housing options and pricing But you can follow them on Facebook NFI Industries has wasted no time after approval in developing the 162,000 sq ft warehouse component for the Victory development the concrete floor was already in place during our visit to the project site last week in mid-December 2022 Wood forms were being created on the already poured floor which I believe are the forms for the warehouse walls I imagine they will be poured onsite laying down and then raised up (tipped) into place According to the Planning Board meeting commentary this warehouse is “spec” build meaning they did not have a tenant signed on at the time of approval and the start of construction the warehouse dock bays and trucks will be on the other side of the warehouse The NFI website maintains a marketing page and PDF sell sheet for the project The specifications from the September 2022 flyer show the project as having 37 dock doors 22 mechanical dock levelers and 2 Drive-in doors Parking is set for 36 Off-Building Parking Spaces and 58 car parking spaces (with room to expand to 82) They list a 36 foot “clear height” meaning the interior space that a client can use for storage Enclave at Woodcrest Station110 Woodcrest RdCherry Hill NJenclave@fmgnj.com Facebook NFI Warehouse Woodcrest NJWoodcrest RdCherry Hill NJ Marketing website and PDF Categories Marlton Pike Anytime Fitness Coming to Washington Twp at Tower Square Center Near 5-Points
