NORTH BERGEN, NJ—The recently completed transformation of a 300,000-square-foot former Liz Claiborne, Inc. headquarters building in North Bergen is drawing the attention of the brokerage and business communities, according to Cushman & Wakefield's Curtis Foster. Real Capital Solutions, which purchased the property at 5901 West Side Ave. in 2013, has made substantial investments into phase one and two to repurpose it as a modern, multi-tenant property.
Kate Spade & Company, the successor to Claiborne, leased back nearly 107,000 square feet in the building, now known as WestSide Center, on a long-term basis.
“Kate Spade's newly fit-out space provides a great illustration of how the building's large, adaptable floor plates work to accommodate today's popular open work environments,” says Foster, who is exclusive leasing agent for the building with Jerry Shifrin of Cushman & Wakefield's East Rutherford, NJ, office. “Trendy brick accents and 14-foot ceilings, collaborative spaces, and a layout that capitalizes on natural light speak to the needs and desires of contemporary office tenants.”
