Kushner and KABR Group have picked The Clinical Group as their leasing team for a well-known 111,000-square-foot office building in the heart of Jersey City’s Journal Square district.
According to a news release, The Clinical Group’s Jonathan Marks, Darren Lizzack and Randy Horning will spearhead a new marketing push at 26 Journal Square, leveraging the neighborhood’s explosive growth to draw health care tenants to the property. Those efforts come alongside an interior redesign led by award-winning architect William Kimmerle, partner and senior vice president of The Kimmerle Group, under a strategy that centers on enhanced medical infrastructure to meet the needs of providers and collocate all services under one roof.
“We are thrilled to partner with Kushner Companies and KABR Group on this landmark project,” said Marks, founder, CEO and managing member of The Clinical Group. “With the area’s growing demand, a prime location in what is currently an underserved health care market and direct PATH access to New York City, this building will soon create a unique opportunity for New Jersey health systems, multispecialty practices and regional providers looking to expand. It will also have appeal to Manhattan-based groups seeking a cost-effective foothold across the Hudson.”
The health care brokerage firm added that Kushner and KABR’s plan includes elements such as an outpatient imaging facility servicing X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI, plus multiple outpatient specialty floors and patient convenience, making it an ideal destination for medical offices and related services. All of which would cater to Journal Square’s ongoing massive influx of new residents and its improved transit access.
“Our goal at 26 Journal Square is to attract high-quality tenants who value location, transit access and flexibility,” said Michael Goldstein, KABR’s chief operating officer. “The Clinical Group brings the expertise and strategic approach needed to execute that vision.”
