JLL, Manulife US Reit ink agreement for office space New Jersey property

The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in April 2023.

Property firm, JLL, signed a management and licensing agreement to take up 15,407 square feet (sq. ft.) of office space at 500 Plaza Drive in Secaucus, New Jersey.

In a joint statement, Manulife US Real Estate Investment Trust (MUST) announced the deal, which is accompanied by options for JLL’s Flex to lease 20,451 sq. ft. in two phases, bringing the combined floor plate to 35,858 sq. ft. by 2023.

Overall, the three phases are expected to achieve a stabilised rent premium of about 30% to the market. The three phases will also be valued at $9.5m (US$6.8m) for construction works that will take over two years.

“The agreement marks the first official ground-up Flex by JLL office space to come to market in the U.S. It follows MUST’s announcement in its first half of 2022 financial results where it shared its two-pronged approach to capture growing market demand for flexible and modernised office space,” read the joint media release.

Phase 1 will comprise flexible desks and private offices and will be finished in April next year whilst the two other phases will be composed mostly of enterprise suites.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
