Originally Published: Real Estate Weekly

High-end British paint and wallpaper company Farrow & Ball has opened its first New Jersey store in Paramus.

X-Team Partner, Welco Realty arranged the lease at 160 Route 17 North on behalf of the landlord, 17 North Associates. SRS Real Estate Partnersʼ Sarah Hughes represented the tenant.

The Paramus store is the 15th Farrow & Ball location in the United States. The store is approximately 2,000 s/f and has a 22 ft. high ceiling.

The company said it selected the Paramus site because many North Jersey customers visit its New York City store. Other tenants in the center are PM Pediatrics, Kohler Showroom, FedEx and German Kitchen Center.

Paint pioneers John Farrow and Richard Ball founded their company in 1946. They met while working at a local clay pit and later went on to build their first factory in Dorset.

Jerry Welkis Welco Realty negotiated the Farrow & Ball lease, which comes following his work on the 4,000 s/f Kohler showroom at  The Shops at 17 North.

Welco is part of the X Team international alliance of retail real estate specialists with offices located in major cities throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
