The Park in Berkeley Heights is entering a new phase, with its office space now fully renovated and construction underway on new residential, retail and hospitality segments that will create a new town square for workers and residents alike. And The Connell Co. has already taken steps toward opening the campus to the public — from social events to gym memberships — all with a level of branding and merchandising that is unlike what you’d find at other commercial properties in the state.

As you’ll read in this month’s cover story, The Connell Co. is entering a new phase of its decade-long, $500 million update of its 185-acre campus along Interstate 78, with construction underway on new residential, dining and entertainment spaces that will create a town square for workers and residents alike. Connell has already taken steps toward opening the corporate park to the public — offering gym memberships and nighttime social events inside its renovated office space — all with a level of branding and merchandising that is unlike anything seen at other commercial properties in the state.
