Leica Camera Inc. has signed a long-term lease to bring its North American headquarters to Glenpointe, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises’ flagship business campus in Teaneck.
Previously based in Allendale, the tenant is taking 12,274 square feet at Glenpointe Centre West, the largest of the three office buildings at the 670,000-square-foot complex. The space at 500 Frank W. Blvd. will include executive offices as well as a camera display showroom and equipment repair facility.
Newmark’s Jeff Schotz, Peter Rossi, Dan Reider, Peter Kasparian and David Simson represented Sanzari in the transaction. Mark Zaziski and Marc Trevisan of Cushman & Wakefield represented Leica Camera.
“For over 150 years, our success has been powered by a ceaseless commitment to quality in everything we do,” said Mike Giannattasio, president of Leica Camera U.S. “As we toured Glenpointe, it was immediately clear that every aspect of the tenant experience has been meticulously designed to engage our employees and to inspire them to continue to deliver the high-quality products and services that Leica has become synonymous with over our history. We are excited to bring our team to Glenpointe and continue to build upon our success over the years to come.”
Founded in 1869, Leica Camera is an international, premium manufacturer of cameras and sports optics dedicated to the advancement of photography. Its employees at the new site will have access to several amenities including the 26,000-square-foot Glenpointe Fitness Center, 700 hotel rooms across three on-site hotels, casual and fine dining options, an on-site full-service Starbucks, abundant covered parking and 24/7 security.
“We continue to see tenants gravitate towards amenity-rich, well-located and modern office buildings like Glenpointe as they welcome their workforces back to the office and jumpstart their dormant corporate cultures,” said Dan Reider, a managing director with Newmark. “In this search for a truly culture-defining workplace, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises’ visionary construction and consistent capital improvements have ensured that there is no other property in the market better suited to do so than Glenpointe.”
