I’ve come to learn that stories in our People on the Move section are among our most popular online and in print. I understand why — relationships in commercial real estate go back years or decades in many cases, meaning there’s no shortage of interest when a friend or business partner earns a promotion or a position at a new firm. That’s especially true when it comes to developers and owners, as I was reminded earlier this year when we covered two major moves by Accordia.

Finding a balance: For Reynolds, right-sizing office space has been key to Lawrence Township redevelopment plan
The planned redevelopment of Princeton Pike Office Park in Lawrence Township will feature the mixed-use elements that are increasingly popular in New Jersey. But, departing from the trend, it will keep half its office space.
Three buildings at 3131 Princeton Pike, now known as CANVAS, will be demolished starting this fall or in early 2025, making way for 204 apartments and 17,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. That will reduce the office space at the park by nearly 40 percent, to about 167,000 square feet, leaving three buildings that are now thriving and nearly fully leased after a recent makeover.

It may well be decades before New Jersey’s suburban office market is no longer overbuilt. That is, of course, assuming that property owners and local officials find the type of common ground needed for redevelopment, as we try to highlight when we come across those stories. We have one such example in our latest issue.
