Property Description
Listing #5274
Asking Price: $350,000
WeCann is pleased to present a municipally supported and state-approved cannabis retail opportunity in Highland Park, New Jersey. This offering provides an efficient pathway into one of New Jersey’s limited-license cannabis market while avoiding much of the time, cost, and uncertainty associated with pursuing new approvals and development.
The opportunity includes local municipal support, annual state approval, substantially completed construction, and exceptionally low occupancy costs. Located within an established retail corridor near Rutgers University and surrounding Middlesex County communities, the site benefits from strong commuter activity, dense residential populations, and regional accessibility.
