Transwestern handles leasing and management at the 400,000-square-foot building, which was constructed in 2001.

The building's 4,900-square-foot, first-floor lobby now features stainless steel pillars, Italian polished marble flooring, Shaw carpet tiles and wood wall covering. A partition that separated the public and employee entrances was removed to create an open and well-lit space appealing to multiple tenants.

Transwestern launched its capital improvement plan for the building late last year; the project was managed by the Nicholson Corporation, working with Gensler architects.

The building's redesigned 8,600-square-foot bistro was opened in June. It features seating for group and individual dining, and outdoor tables with umbrellas on a large terrace.

In May, 300 Kimball's 3,000-square-foot fitness center opened, featuring a wide variety of cardio and weight machines, free weights, yoga space and flat-screen televisions. The tenant-only fitness center includes men's and women's locker rooms with two showers – including one compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“When repositioning an asset, it has become the industry standard to provide a grand lobby reflective of a tenant's brand image, upgraded common areas and hallways, an on-site gym and high-quality food service,” said Transwestern's managing director, Matthew McDonough. “At 300 Kimball, we've just completed all of these improvements, giving the space a brand new identity and personality.”

Sustainable fixtures were integrated into the fitness facility's design, he noted: LED lighting, low-flow toilets and automatic faucets powered by solar cells. Also, metals and cardboard were up-cycled throughout the renovation. Recently, 300 Kimball was awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®) Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Other improvements recently completed at 300 Kimball include:

• Refurbished restrooms
• Upgrades to the parking lot, repairs to sidewalks and other concrete
• Upgraded landscaping, including new trees, ground cover and plantings
• Power washing of the entire building's exterior, as well as a washing of the interior and exterior of all windows.

Postell and McDonough said that the building's large floor plates allow for flexible build-out options for tenants.

The site offers direct access to Interstates 80, 280 and 287; U.S. Routes 46 and 202; and New Jersey Routes 10 and 53.
