HOBOKEN, NJ-Founded in New York way back in 1807 when the republic was still brand new and based in Manhattan ever since, publisher John Wiley & Sons has now officially taken up residence across the Hudson River in this waterfront city in New Jersey. The company now calls Waterfront Corporate Center home, occupying 400,000 sf of one of the two identical 550,000-sf, 14-story buildings that make up the new 1.1 million-sf class A complex. The project is being developed by SJP Properties of Parsippany, NJ.

“Our new offices support Wiley’s collaborative culture and provide cost-effective space with room for expansion,” according to company president and CEO William Pesce, speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremony late last week. Altogether, some 900 employees are involved in the move by Wiley, whose core businesses include professional and consumer books; scientific, technical and medical journals; encyclopedias; and online products and services.

Waterfront Corporate Center is the centerpiece of the 50-acre South Waterfront redevelopment in Hoboken. The master-planned community, which will eventually total some 2.3 million sf of commercial, retail and residential space, is being created through a public-private partnership involving the City of Hoboken, the Port Authority of NY/NJ and SJP Properties. The Port Authority began the process three years ago by upgrading the surrounding infrastructure and renovating a pier that was converted into a park.
