Mack-Cali Launches 475,000-SF Repositioning

MORRIS TWP., NJ-Mack-Cali Realty Corp. has launched an extensive renovation program at its 475,000-sf Kemble Plaza II here. Once fully occupied by AT&T, the building will be renovated “for greater multi-tenant use,” says Mitchell Hersh, president and CEO of the Edison-based REIT.

Those renovations will include new main entrances and enhanced entry points, as well as a new 105-seat cafeteria, new food kiosks, common area renovations and an upgraded executive parking garage. The makeover is expected to be completed by late summer; the price tag hasn’t been released. Existing features include two full-height atriums, a dual power feed and back-up power to a portion of the building.

“Our strategy when we acquired this property from AT&T was to be able to accommodate multiple corporate users in a centralized Morris County location,” Hersh says. “These renovations will allow us to accomplish that objective.”
