Southern NJ 5-15B Rhodium Capital Advisors gain Jersey City office building for $20m

WHIPPANY, NJ — With the sale of The Crossings at Jefferson Park in Whippany, VisionReal Estate Partners and Rubenstein Partners have completed a benchmark New Jersey suburban office campus transformation. Bar- clays Capital – an anchor ten- ant at the 525,000 s/f, class A property – purchased the asset for $69 million. In a joint venture partner- ship, Vision Real Estate Part- ners and Rubenstein Part- ners purchased the Crossings property, located at 115 South Jefferson Rd., in 2013. The firms immediately launched a multi-million-dollar revi- talization and rebranding of the 65-acre campus, with a redesign specifically focused on promoting health, wellness, and sustainability. “From the outset, we recog- nized the outstanding potential of this property,” noted Vision Real Estate Partners’ Sam Morreale , founder and man- aging partner. “We purchased The Crossings for a smart price and invested significant capital in creating an envi- ronment that would attract

today’s most discerning office space users. The fact that an existing tenant – particularly such a prominent tenant as Barclays Capital – approached us with the desire to become owner/occupier provides the greatest testament to what we have accomplished.” “Within the suburban New Jersey office market, there are certain well-located properties that have great potential to be remade into second-generation class A assets. We recognized The Crossings is a great ex- ample of a property that could

be modernized through strate- gic investment into improve- ments,” said Stephen Card, principal and Mid-Atlantic re- gional director for Rubenstein Partners. “We are incredibly proud of the outcome and our ability to attract a global organization like Barclays Capital.” The Crossings offers class A space in three buildings, all of which were renovated as part of the repositioning. Notably, this included a complete gut and rebuild of the property’s 150,500 s/f 200 Building, which
