Kimmerle Newman Architects (KNA) has been retained to
redesign the former Toys R Us headquarters campus in New Jersey for new tenants.
New Jersey based developer, Dobco Group, acquired the
193-acre site at One Geoffrey Way in Wayne for $19 million last year after the
retail giant went bust.
Dobco said it planned to reposition the 630,000 s/f, three
building office complex into a mixed-used multitenant campus and tapped a team
from JLL to lead leasing efforts.
In May, medical device company Getinge US signed a lease for
45,000 s/f to house some 200 workers involved in sales, service and training. The
lease will allow Getinge to consolidate three tri-state locations into two in
Wayne and Mahwah.
One Geoffrey Way fronts the Point View Reservoir, on a
wooded and rolling site located in the northern end of Wayne township. Dobco has retained JLL, KNA and Silbert Associates.
As part of its repositioning team.
“Our team is truly looking
forward to exploring the wide range of possibilities associated with this
wonderful and significant assignment,” said George Kimmerle, AIA, PhD, of
Kimmerle Group.
