The pharmaceutical industry has arguably been the most active segments in New Jersey real estate this year, including some of the largest deals of the last several months. So it's no surprise that the space, one of the largest blocks recently available, was quickly snapped up by a company in that field.

Peter Blanchard, a principal in the Garibaldi Group of Chatham, NJ, and Charles E. Snyder, vice president of the Trammell Crow Co., represented United Healthcare.

The deal will bring yet another pharmaceutical name--in the form of a service company--to the New Jersey landscape. So far this year, pharma and related companies involved in transactions in the Garden State have included Novartis, Schering-Plough, Johnson & Johnson, Atlantic Health Systems, American Home Products and LifeCell, to name a few.

Ingenix, which will bring a total of more than 1,000 jobs to the site, is one of the fastest growing information technology companies in the healthcare industry, and is said to be largest health information and research provider in the country. Revenues are projected to top the $400 million mark this year. The company serves multiple market segments on a business-to-business basis, including health insurers and other payers, care providers, large employers and governments.
