SJP Properties, one of the New York metropolitan area's most active development companies, opened the doors of Somerset Corporate Center in Bridgewater on May 26 for an open house event that attracted several hundred members of New Jersey's real estate brokerage and corporate communities.
The event, which featured a display of exotic cars supplied by Manhattan Classic Car Club - a Ferrari F430 and Ford GT, as well as a 550 Porsche Spyder similar to the model that James Dean drove on the night of his death - served as a showcase of the rare opportunities coming available at Somerset Corporate Center. A strategically located headquarters-quality, master-planned office park, Somerset Corporate Center is comprised of five high-performance Class A buildings, as well as a fully approved build-to-suit building site.
Among the opportunities at the park are immediate availabilities, ranging from 3,500 to 125,000 square feet, at Somerset Corporate Center I and Somerset Corporate Center II, two 250,000-square-foot Class A office buildings.
Additionally, SJP has announced a rare opportunity soon to be available at Somerset Corporate Center III and Somerset Corporate Center IV, two mirror-image buildings that are linked by a curvilinear sky bridge and total 620,000 square feet. With lease expirations at these buildings scheduled to take place next year, Somerset Corporate Center will have available two interconnected buildings of 310,000 square feet each.
The opportunities at Somerset Corporate Center represent some of the most desirable blocks of contiguous space available in the prestigious Route 287/I-78 corridor in Somerset County.
"Somerset Corporate Center is regarded as Central Jersey's foremost office campus, and we are extremely pleased with the strong support from the commercial real estate brokerage community at our open house showcasing the prime space available at the campus," stated Jeffrey Schotz, executive vice president of SJP Properties. "Situated in a park-like setting with a host of onsite and nearby amenities, Somerset Corporate Center offers the state-of-the-art green technology, open floor plates and quality amenities that today's sophisticated global corporations demand."
Somerset Corporate Center is one of SJP's signature developments, conveniently located with direct access to Interstate 78 and Route 287, along Routes 202/206, in close proximity to both Newark International Airport and New York City.
Among the many desirable features offered by the campus are an onsite health and fitness facility, cafeteria, custom penthouse HVAC units with zone control and a three-level parking deck that ensures 75 percent of the parking at the park is covered. Each building has a loading dock, full-time security and in-house management.
One of the most distinctive features of the campus is the 15-acre central park around which the center's five buildings are situated. The park features numerous walking paths, sitting areas and extensive landscaping, helping to reduce environmental stress for building tenants. Additionally, private gardens at each of the five buildings include seasonal floral displays, fountains and park-style seating.
Somerset Corporate Center is surrounded by numerous hotels, including the adjacent 300-room Bridgewater Marriot Hotel and conference center. Located directly across Routes 202/206 is the nearly one million-square-foot Bridgewater Commons Mall, the second-largest mall in New Jersey, offering a variety of retail amenities. Restaurants, numerous country clubs and public golf courses, movie theaters and daycare facilities are also in close proximity to the campus. Additionally, Somerset Corporate Center is ideally situated amongst several college campuses such as Rutgers and Raritan Valley College and a diverse housing base within coveted school districts.
Earlier this year, SJP earned the Energy Star Award for superior energy efficiency from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Somerset Corporate Center II, which rates in the top 25 percent of facilities in its peer group for energy efficiency. Commercial buildings that earn the Energy Star Award use an average of 40 percent less energy than typical buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The national energy performance rating system provides a 1 to 100 scale that helps organizations assess how effectively their buildings use energy relative to similar buildings nationwide. Buildings that earn a rating of 75 or higher are eligible for Energy Star.
Additionally, Somerset Corporate Center II is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and is seeking LEED Existing Building - Operating &Maintenance certification.
