Bell Works, the Eero Saarinen-designed former Bell Labs campus and the country’s first ‘metroburb’ – a self-contained metropolis in Suburbia – has signed six new tenant office leases and nine office renewals for a total of 74,474 square feet. The leases span both traditional office and Bell Works’ pre-built, Ready-To-Wear (RTW) designer office suites that feature unique, custom designs that are immediately ready to occupy and offer flexible, short-term leasing options.
“If 2022 has shown us anything, it’s that companies are committed to the post-pandemic ‘office of the future’,” said Ralph Zucker, president of Inspired by Somerset Development, the developer behind Bell Works New Jersey. “Key decision-makers at businesses ranging from large enterprises to startups are seeking highly amenitized, and purposefully designed spaces that cater to their evolving needs. Our Ready-To-Wear spaces are designed with the priorities of modern companies in mind with both short- and long-term leases. Whether it’s a result of Bell Works’ singular energy, idyllic setting, or diverse roster of both office and retail tenants, people are placing their bets on the metroburb and we cannot build these spaces fast enough. We anticipate this momentum will only grow stronger throughout 2023.”
