SJP Properties Signs Mazda North American Operations Regional Offices at Somerset Corporate Center II in Bridgewater, N.J.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. – SJP Properties today announced that Mazda Motor of America, d/b/a Mazda North American Operations, a subsidiary of Japanese automaker Mazda Motor Corporation, has signed an 8,000-square-foot office lease to relocate its Northeast Region Office to Somerset Corporate Center II, a Class A office building situated within SJP’s master-planned Somerset Corporate Center business complex in Bridgewater, NJ.

Mazda is relocating its Northeast Regional Office to Somerset Corporate Center from another location in Bridgewater. Todd Elfand, Paul Hindes and Chon Kantikovit of Cushman & Wakefield represented Mazda in the transaction, while SJP Properties was represented in-house by Senior Vice President Peter Bronsnick. Mazda is expected to take occupancy of its new space at Somerset Corporate Center II in the fall.

“With the market going through a distinct flight to quality, Somerset Corporate Center continues to significantly outperform the I-78 corridor, providing world-class companies like Mazda the opportunity to grow their businesses in a headquarters-quality property that boasts a state-of-the-art work environment, and access to a highly skilled workforce,” stated Steven J. Pozycki, Founder and CEO of SJP Properties.

Located within one of the country’s strongest labor pools, Somerset Corporate Center comprises five existing Class A buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet that are situated around a 15-acre landscaped central park. SJP Properties is also planning a free-standing, full-service fitness facility, as well as a 130-room full-service hotel and restaurant within the center.

In addition to Mazda, a number of leading-edge global companies call Somerset Corporate Center home, including Qualcomm, Allergan, Cognizant Technologies, Aon Hewitt, Merrill Lynch, Valeant, Linde Americas and Kering Eyewear.

One of SJP’s signature developments, Somerset Corporate Center is in proximity to both Newark International Airport and New York City, and is situated directly across from the nearly one million-square-foot Bridgewater Commons Mall – the second largest mall in New Jersey. The property’s unique configuration affords access in all directions via routes 202/206 and 22, as well as interstates 287 and 78. Additionally, the center offers access to public transportation, including NJ TRANSIT service via a shuttle to the Somerville train station just four miles from the property, and features a state-of-the-art conference facility, as well as fitness centers and cafes in each of its buildings.
