600,000 sf of Spec Space Slated as Market Tightens

BRIDGEWATER, NJ--Texas-based developer enters NJ market with long-awaited office phase of mixed-use project anchored by Commons Mall. Hines plans 600,000 sf.

By Eric Peterson | Updated on August 01, 2000

Back in the ’70s, this township’s government ran a competition to find a developer for a proposed super-regional shopping mall. The Hahn Co. of California won the gig, edging the Columbia, MD-based Rouse Co. for the honor. Hahn, now part of TrizecHahn, developed the 900,000-sf Bridgewater Commons Mall in the ’80s, owning and operating it until the company divested itself of its mall portfolio two years ago.

Parts of the larger master plan for the site were a smaller convenience shopping center; a hotel (Marriott now has a 350-key property under construction); and an office component. Hines, the Texas-based development company, will take care of that with a 600,000-sf class A office campus comprised of twin eight-story towers. Hines has also signed the Insignia/ESG team of Sam Buckley, Patrick Murphy and James Postell to head the leasing campaign.

Bridgewater Crossing, as it will be called, will be sited on Commons Way, directly adjacent to the mall and the new Marriott. Situated at the confluence of I-78, I-287, Route 22 and Route 202/206, its corporate neighbors include Johnson & Johnson, Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Chubb Insurance, Brother International, Lucent and AT&T.
