Accordia Realty Ventures has announced several new leases and renewals at office buildings in northern New Jersey, part of a flurry of year-end activity for the Fairfield-based firm.
In a news release, the company said the deals include a short-term renewal by ConnectiveRx, which occupies 19,371 square feet at 100 Passaic Ave. in Fairfield. Accordia also secured a five-year, 7,731-square-foot renewal at the property, known as Greenbrook Executive Center, by law firm Dwyer, Connell & Lisbona LLP.
Fred Hyatt and Derek DeMartino of JLL represent ownership at the 203,028-square-foot office building, which also serves as Accordia’s headquarters.
“Despite a slowing in the office market, there’s been tremendous leasing activity at Greenbrook Executive Center — and that can be attributed to a flight to quality,” said Jason Bogart, principal and co-founder of Accordia Realty. “Our recent activity is proof that Greenbrook exemplifies certain desired traits.”
The firm also reported leases at River Drive II, an office building at 669 River Drive in Elmwood Park, including a five-year commitment by Bridgeway Behavioral Health. Meantime, real estate development firm Aptitude Development expanded to more than 7,000 square feet at the site.
JLL’s Hyatt and DeMartino also represented Accordia at the Elmwood Park property, while Robert Norton of CBRE represented Behavioral Health in its transaction.
Meantime, the real estate investment and development firm signed two new retail leases at The Shoppes at Godwin, a 22,520-square-foot mixed-use property on Godwin Avenue in Midland Park. They include deals with Flawless Nails and New Jersey Cabinet Distributors, which bring occupancy at the site to 95 percent.
DeFino Realtors represented the landlord in both deals, while DeFino’s Amy Smith and Jackeline Perna of United Real Estate North Jersey represented the respective tenants.
According to Bogart, the company is preparing to announce an East Coast expansion program in mid-2024.
