Unbelieva-Bills signed a long-term lease for the space back in 2008. The tenant was represented by Barbara Burns of Sitar Realty and the landlord by Sharon Gill of Prudential new Jersey and David Perlmutter of Perlmutter Properties Inc. The building is owned by an affiliate of Eastman Cos.

As corporate architect for Unbelieva-Bills, IS&L assisted Bill Dubiel, president, in selecting the new location. The 9,200-square-foot space formerly housed two retail stores. It has been gutted and will be fit-out with accommodations for approximately 350 guests. Area retailers include Pathmark, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Washington Mutual, Clearview Cinemas and Chase Bank.

A colorful, soft-play climbing structure will serve as a focal point for the interior. The center design also calls for a small theater with a stage platform that converts into a laser tag arena, as well as two private party rooms, a warming kitchen and seating area, and oversized restrooms. The project includes new flooring, lighting and HVAC, as well as a high-end sprinkler system to meet coding requirements for assembly space. Additionally, because the building sits on a sloped property, a handicapped-accessible ramp is being incorporated into a two-tier interior configuration.
