Waterfront Corporate Center, Hoboken, NJ

HOBOKEN, NJ— Global accounting firm EY , formerly known as Ernst & Young , has signed a new lease for 168,000 square feet of office space at SJP Properties’ Waterfront Corporate Center in Hoboken. The accounting firm is expected to occupy its space in the mixed-use office and retail complex in June 2017. As part of the transaction, EY will be relocating a portion of its New York City operations to Hoboken. “ Waterfront Corporate Center offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and amenities, and unparalleled access to mass transit and Hoboken’s renowned downtown, providing companies with a world-class business environment that supports productivity, recruitment and growth,” says Steven J. Pozycki , CEO of SJP Properties . “When we developed the site of Waterfront Corporate Center , we knew that this would become the standard for class A office and retail space along New Jersey’s Gold Coast, and we are extremely proud to have fully realized that vision.” In addition to EY , tenants include Jet.com, NICE Systems, Newell Rubbermaid, Thomson Reuters, Marsh & McLennan, RMS, Octapharma, Pearson Education, and workspace provider Regus . The complex houses an on-site, state-of-the-art fitness center, Crunch Fitness , Del Frisco’s Grille, Wicked Wolf restaurant, Jos A. Bank, FedEx, Chase Bank and Kiddie Academy . The property is close to downtown Hoboken. The complex features highly efficient floor plates and offers excellent New York City and Hudson River views. SJP has incorporated energy-efficiency and air quality control features throughout to provide a healthier and more sustainable work environment for the complex’s tenants. Waterfront Corporate Center’s neighborhood benefits from the Port Authority’s investment of more than $80 million in infrastructure improvements along the river, including redevelopment of two piers as recreational space. The five-acre park at Pier A includes an open lawn area, fountain, tree grove, pavilion and amphitheater space for tenant use. The 2.5-acre park at Pier C features a playground as well as a promenade at its eastern edge with lawn areas and a fishing pier. The CBRE team of Michael Geoghegan, Craig Reicher, Glenn Dyke, Joan Meixner and Nick Hilton represented EY in the transaction. SJP Properties was represented in-house by executive vice president Jeff Schotz and senior vice president Peter Bronsnick . Situated within Hoboken’s master-planned, pedestrian-friendly waterfront, Waterfront Corporate Center’s three-building complex comprises 1.5 million square feet of class A commercial space adjacent to the  W Hoboken Hotel and just steps from Hoboken Terminal’s NJ TRANSIT, PATH, NY Waterway Ferry and Light Rail connections.
