At the publicly-owned company’s earnings conference last week, Mitchell E. Hersh, president and CEO, also said that the first phase of its planned joint-venture apartment-construction project at Harborside has been “re-scaled.” The first phase, to be completed by 2015, is now slated to include a single residential tower with 766 units rather than two towers with 1,260 units. The tower to be built atop a parking structure is to rise 69 stories, taller than previously planned and mirroring the height of the Goldman Sachs building near it on the waterfront.

Second quarter activity listed by Hersh as highlights include:

• MD On-Line, taking 33,196 square feet at 6 Century Drive in Parsippany, in relocating and expanding from 9,867 square feet at the Mack-Cali Business Center campus.

• Enercon Services, signing a new lease for 25,768 square feet at 4 Campus River at the same campus.

• Also, PBF Holding Company expanding to 15,242 square feet at One Sylvan Way at the campus.
