After Breaking Ground for MetLife, Vision and Rubenstein Reflect on Whippany

HANOVER TOWNSHIP, NJ–After breaking ground last week, Vision Real Estate Partners, Rubenstein Partners and MetLife reflected on the success of the effort to redevelop the former Alcatel Lucent site in an exclusive conversation with GlobeSt.com.

“It’s a great location for many reasons,” says Brian Fox, chief marketing officer of MetLife Investments, who, along with Vision and Rubenstein principals Eric Schiela and Sam Morreale, spoke with GlobeSt.com exclusively. “What prompted the decision principally was the ability to leverage new technologies and amenities for our employees, and to stay within the confines of this area. We wanted to stay close to our current location, which we really like, and we have outgrown that facility, so that was the impetus for the move.”
