Lincoln's Meadows Office Complex undergoes renovation

Real Estate Weekly, May 9, 2001

Lincoln Equities Group announced the start of a major lobby renovation at The Meadows Office Complex, a 600,000 SF Glass A office center located on Route 17 North in Rutherford, N.J. Recognized as one of the most desirable office locations in the Meadowlands marketplace, The Meadows' striking twin office towers have historically enjoyed among the highest occupancy rates in all of Bergen County. Recently, an extremely rare space opportunity has become available at The Meadows Which is already experiencing strong demand.

An entirely new design concept is being implemented for this revision. The main focal point of the new design is a dramatic patterned stone floor of exotic green and salmon marbles. The walls of the lobbies will be covered in fabric wrapped horizontal "rusticated" panels. Jemline Koto wood stain is to be used on the wood accents within the lobbies to blend with the other finishes.

As a kickoff event for the new lobby renovation, Lincoln Equities Group is running a "Take Your Tenant to Lunch" promotion for the month of April. Both the broker and the tenant will receive $50 gift certificates to Park and Orchard Restaurants for touring the Meadows Office Complex during the month of April.

In addition, Lincoln Equities is offering an added incentive to all new tenants and their brokers who sign leases during the lobby renovation period (by August 31, 2001). On new leases of 6,000 SF or more, real estate brokers can choose between a stainless steel Breitling Chronomat watch valued at over $3,500 or 100% commission upon signing. In addition, all new tenants who sign leases during that period will receive two months of free rent.

The two-building, 12-story Class A office center stands as one of the region's most visible structures. Offering dramatic views of New York, the facility is dominated by an expansive window line resulting in a high ratio of windowed offices and abundant natural light. On-site amenities include advanced telecommunications systems, full cafeteria, bank, dry cleaner and lobby shop. Other amenities include a board room and seminar room for tenants to utilize as well as a multi-level garage. The twin buildings include 24-hour card access and on-site security and professional management offered by Lincoln Equities Group.

Located at the interchange of Routes 17 and 3, just one mile to the New Jersey Turnpike, Meadows Office Complex is also only 4 miles to I-80 and 5 miles to the Garden State Parkway. The Lincoln Tunnel is within 15 minutes of the campus and Newark Airport is accessible in less than 15 minutes as well. Additionally, on-site bus service is available and New Jersey PATH train service is less than one mile from the site.

According to Robert Fisher, Director of Leasing, "With the Meadowlands enjoying one of the lowest vacancy rates in New Jersey, tenants now have an outstanding opportunity at The Meadows Office Complex.
