Everest Reinsurance’s 315,086 SF, 16-year lease to relocate its corporate headquarters to Warren Corporate Center in Warren, N.J., signals a new model for success in today’s evolving office landscape. The deal didn’t merely set a new record in 2019 it was among the top ten largest office leases in the Northern New Jersey market over the past decade. But with the rise of telecommuting and following nearly stagnant office leasing during the first half of 2019, it also shows the significance of providing a unique experience at office.

Size: 670,000 SF; 50 acres Brokers: Jeff Schotz, Peter Rossi, Dan Reider, David Simson, Newmark Knight Frank To enhance Glenpointe’s tenant experience, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises partnered with Better Spaces, a technology- driven tenant engagement platform. The service operates out of a 1,500 SF community lounge “The Pointe,” and other shared spaces accessible via the Better Spaces app, which is the “key” to unlock amenity space, sign up for programs, and book private rooms. Featuring robust programming cu - rated by an on-site community management staff, activities range from ping pong tournaments to yoga, art shows, chair massages, nature hikes and more. The platform also provides measurable data to predict tenant satisfaction and retention in the critical years of a lease.
Kinsley delivered the fit-out of this 13,000 SF space to create MOI’s new corporate headquarters. The space also houses a public-facing, highly flexible furniture showroom which displays a number of features for collaborative spaces, technology integration and cus - tom working environments. To fit their modular office components and innovative DIRTT interior wall sys - tem in the existing space, we worked closely with Fox Architects and DIRTT and used BIM 3D coordination to shift the building’s MEP systems. The project won an AIA Baltimore People’s Choice Award.
