HOBOKEN, NJ—NICE Systems, a global enterprise software company, has signed a new 60,000-square-foot office lease for its new US headquarters at Waterfront Corporate Center III, the third and final building within SJP Properties' mixed-use business center in Hoboken, NJ. Earlier this year, SJP completed construction on the 14-story, 500,000-square-foot building – developed in partnership with USAA Real Estate Company – which recently achieved LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council. 

"Over the past few years, the Hudson River waterfront in New Jersey has seen an increasingly diverse mix of tenants that are attracted to the area's high-quality transportation network and skilled workforce," says Steven J. Pozycki, chairman and CEO of SJP Properties. "In particular, we've seen significant activity at Waterfront Corporate Center from companies in the technology sector, as this property offers quick access to New York City, while providing the high-performance, technologically advanced work environment these companies require."

NICE Systems' new lease will enable it to consolidate its New York City and New Jersey operations in one strategic location that offers direct access to Hoboken's exceptional transportation network, as well as the city's numerous shopping, dining and entertainment options.

"We are excited to have chosen this site as our new North American headquarters," says Tom Dziersk, president of NICE Americas. "Over the years, NICE has made significant investments to grow its presence in the New Jersey/New York region. The company remains committed to future growth in the area, recognizing the opportunities available to grow our businesses and expand our NICE community."

Colliers International executive director Richard Charkham and executive managing director Richard Mirliss represented NICE Systems in the transaction, while SJP Properties was represented in-house by senior vice president Peter Bronsnick. 

NICE Systems will join Marsh & McLennan, Thomson Reuters, RMS and Octapharma as tenants. Pearson Education occupies 200,000 square feet in the complex. E-commerce start-up Jet.com and collaborative workspace provider Regus each occupy 40,000 square feet at the building. Last month, Del Frisco's Restaurant Group opened its popular Del Frisco's Grille.
