HAMILTON TWP., NJ-Verizon New Jersey has signed a five-year lease extension at Mack-Cali Realty Corp.’s 600 Horizon Center Dr. at Horizon Center Business Park here. The telecommunications firm is leasing the entire 95,000-square-foot building through 2017. Verizon New Jersey, a unit of Verizon Communications, was represented by Marc Rosenberg of Cushman & Wakefield.

Mitchell E. Hersh, president and CEO of Mack-Cali, said in a statement, “We developed this building for Verizon back in 2002, and we’ve continued to forge a long-term relationship with them. We believe that relationship, along with the fact that Horizon Center Business Park offers a strategic location, facilitated their decision to make a significant space commitment well in advance of their lease expiration.”
