We have immediately rebranded the property as “Century Office Campus” and we have great plans to upgrade the common areas and amenities in the complex, including a first class, state-of-the-art Lounge/Conference Room/Co-Working Suites with lots of collaborative work areas and other specialty rooms, such as an art studio, game room and massage therapy room.”
The property is located near the intersection of Route 10 and Route 202 and in close proximity to three of the state’s most highly traveled highways – Interstates 287, 80 and 280. This places the property within a 35-minute drive of New York City and surrounded by corporate neighbors including Tiffany’s, Medicines Co., T-Mobile, Wyndham, GAF and Avis, among others.
