Crate and Barrel adds distribution space

Crate and Barrel, the housewares and home furnishings giant, has expanded its distribution center at the Rockefeller Group Foreign Trade Zone in Cranbury, N.J., for an undisclosed price.

The company, which already leases 675,000 square feet in two buildings at the Half Acre Road site, signed a lease for an additional 275,000 square feet to serve as a pick-and-pack fulfillment operation for direct marketing orders.

When construction on the expansion is completed later this year, Crate and Barrel will occupy a total of 950,000 square feet at the complex, according to a press statement.
