A new tenant has leased nearly 26,000 square feet at a renovated office building in Rockaway, the largest of several new deals at the property announced by JLL.
According to the leasing team, the undisclosed company signed a long-term commitment for the sixth floor of The Mark at 100 Enterprise Drive. The 25,695-square-foot space will serve as a new regional hub for the occupier, which was represented by CBRE’s Sean Morley.
JLL Executive Vice President Chris Conklin, Executive Managing Director Dan Spero and Brokerage Coordinator Maria Ruberto represented Northbridge Capital Inc., the owner of the 237,087-square-foot building. They also brokered a lease with business management consultant Lucrotec, which will occupy a prebuilt 3,161-square-foot office on the second floor, while smart building tech company Fortress Controls LLC expanded from 1,935 square feet to 6,556 square feet and relocated to the property’s fifth floor.
Caring Partners, a company that provides an integrated system of care, added 4,200 square feet to its previous commitment on the second floor. It now occupies 23,161 square feet.
Mark Twentyman of Kingsbridge Realty represented the tenant in the Lucrotec lease.
“Our continued investment in The Mark has driven significant leasing momentum,” Northbridge Managing Partner Michael Lazier said. “The property stands out as a best-in-class offering where attention to detail and commitment to elevating the working environment is a priority.”
The landlord’s upgrades at the property include new lobby elevators, revived common corridors and upgraded bathrooms, according to a news release. The Toronto-based firm, which acquired The Mark in 2018, also improved the covered parking deck and added a cafeteria, a lounge and game room, a fitness center and a conference facility.
The JLL leasing team has since completed more than 100,000 square feet in transactions, welcoming new tenants including the New Jersey Education Association, Polaris Pharmacy Services and Consolidated Chassis Management. That is thanks to the renovations as well as its proximity to Interstate 80 and a host of restaurant and retail amenities, including Rockaway Townsquare.
“Today’s office tenants place a premium on elevated workspace that both motivates employees and makes good business sense,” Conklin said. “With institutional owners invested in meeting that demand and on-site professional property management, The Mark is checking all of the boxes for companies that have embraced creative use of space as a tool for attracting and retaining talent.”
