JLL
Mack-Cali JV selling JC asset
JLL has been selected to sell One Newark Center on behalf of a joint-venture between an affiliate of The Praedium Group and Mack-Cali Realty Corp.
The Class A office building is located on Raymond Boulevard, one block from Military Park and one block from Newark Penn Station.
“Newark is progressively transforming into a true 24/7 live/work/play environment. The transit-oriented destination is leveraging its unparalleled infrastructure to attract a tenant pool that’s broader than traditional law firms and back-office operations,” said Thomas Walsh, managing director of JLL’s New Jersey office.
“It seems that every week Newark has a ribbon-cutting for a multi-family development or new retailer and that is steadily chipping away at the city’s perceived non-institutional stigma. You’d be hard pressed to find another mid-sized city in the Northeast with such organic growth.”
The sale includes the sixth through the 22nd floors of One Newark Center, totaling 423,028 s/f. The first five floors are owned and occupied by Seton Hall Law School.
The offering also includes a 10-story, 945-space parking structure that is physically connected to the office tower.
“As urban infill continues to occur around the property, One Newark Center is well positioned to take advantage of the retail and business opportunities that are coming to Newark,” said Brian Lindenberg, a vice president with Praedium.
