A nonprofit social services organization is taking more than 20,000 square feet at a Hunterdon County office building, under a newly announced transaction by CBRE.
The organization, The Arc of Hunterdon County, is leasing 22,000 square feet at 53 Frontage Road in Hampton. Its new home provides it with space for future expansion, along with a location just south of Route 22 and Interstate 78.
CBRE’s John Goodwin represented the tenant in the lease with Shelbourne Global Solutions, the owner of the 277,000-square-foot building. The Arc plans to occupy its new space in April.
“It was a pleasure working on behalf of this organization that has benefited Hunterdon County for 65 years,” Goodwin said. “We negotiated a strong economic deal for new office space within a great building that will accommodate the nonprofit’s expansion for years to come.”
In a news release, CBRE said the lease negotiations involved a buyout of part of an existing tenant’s lease as well as converting a portion of the cafeteria to create space for The Arc’s day programs, which will be separated from the rest of the building. Goodwin was able to secure additional space to accommodate the tenant’s growth in an upgraded setting at a lower rent.
“The new space offers our agency an opportunity to grow within an inviting and wholesome environment,” said Jeff Mattison, The Arc’s executive director. “The individuals that we support will undoubtedly thrive in this new setting which offers a number of attractive amenities.”
The Arc of Hunterdon County is committed to a person-centered philosophy in serving individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with their families, to foster a lifestyle that reflects the needs, goals and desires of the person, CBRE said. The organization seeks to empower individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live and work in the community on their own terms as proud, vital members of society.
