C&W, Kushner Score 54,000-SF Law Firm Deal

FLORHAM PARK, NJ-Based in Newark since its founding in 1950, full service law firm Saiber LLC has leased over 54,000 square feet of office space for its new headquarters at Kushner Cos. 18 Columbia Turnpike here.

The 60-lawyer firm–which expects to relocate from Newark’s One Gateway Center to its new facilities in November–is taking over most of the former Kushner Cos. offices, which the latter left after relocating its corporate headquarters to New York City. Kushner Cos. still owns and manages the five-building Westminster Corporate Campus, which includes the 180,000-square-foot class A office building at 18 Columbia Tpke.

“We decided the time was right for our firm to be closer to the center of the state, so that we can branch out in numerous directions,” says William Maderer, Saiber’s managing member, who adds that his firm’s lawyers regularly appear in federal court in Trenton and Camden as well as Newark. “So Florham Park was ideal from a location standpoint, and the space, with its high ceilings and magnificent finishes and amenities, was truly spectacular. Kushner is a first class organization and the office we’re moving into really shows it.”
