721 Route 202/206, Bridgewater, NJ

BRIDGEWATER, NJ— Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has sold 721 U.S. Highway 202/206, a four-story office building on a nearly 16-acre site with more than 200 feet of frontage along Route 202/206 in the Green Knoll section of Bridgewater, NJ. An experienced, local developer purchased the property in a transaction brokered by Cushman & Wakefield. The buyer's identity and the financial terms of the deal were not immediately available.

Cushman & Wakefield's New Jersey capital markets team, led by investment sales specialists Gary Gabriel, Andrew Merin, David Bernhaut, Brian Whitmer and Frank DiTommaso, represented the seller and procured the buyer. They were supported by leasing specialists Bill Brown and Shawn Straka.

721 U.S. Highway 202/206 has a history of near-full occupancy, but is being delivered vacant, offering a variety of potential repositioning opportunities. The local area continues to experience notable activity across a range of categories. Nearby recently delivered and planned projects include Lifetime Fitness, AC Hotels, and Zinburger; in addition, the county's first Whole Foods was introduced at Chimney Rock Crossing, the area's newest mixed-use development located along Route 22.

“The opportunity to reposition roughly 200,000 square feet on 16 acres with frontage generated a significant amount of interest,” says Gabriel. “Bridgewater has historically attracted major employers, specifically within the tech and pharma industries, given its regional accessibility and access to talented labor – it continues to prove itself as one of the more dynamic markets in suburban New Jersey.”

The property is also situated less than two miles from the Bridgewater Commons Mall, “a built-in local amenity with over 175 stores and various restaurants,” DiTommaso says. “721's fundamentals also provide flexibility for single or multi-tenant scenarios. The property offers convenient wraparound parking with entrances on all sides, oversized floor-ceiling glass windows, and features unique enclosed glass walkways overlooking the outdoor amenity space.”
