Independent full-service commercial real estate firm NAI James E. Hanson has named senior vice presidents W. Joshua Levering and Charles Laginestra, along with associate Chris D’Andrea, as the exclusive leasing team for 120 Mountainview Blvd. in Basking Ridge, on behalf of First National Realty Management, LLC.
This Class A office building offers 121,858 square feet of available space across four contiguous floors.
The property was formerly the world headquarters for Barnes & Noble and was home to the prestigious law firm Kennedy & Associates, making it ideally suited for a corporate headquarters or large office user seeking a highly visible, amenity-rich location.
The building features a two-story lobby, an on-site café, outdoor seating areas, a bocce court and more than 500 parking spaces.
It sits in the heart of Somerset County’s premier corporate corridor, offers immediate access to Interstates 78 and 287, and is conveniently located near Newark Liberty International Airport, New York City, hotels, shopping, restaurants, parks, and recreational amenities.
Lyndhurst-based First National Realty Management is undertaking a comprehensive renovation program designed to reposition 120 Mountainview Blvd. for today’s office users.
Planned improvements include complete demolition of the former Barnes & Noble office installation, extensive lobby and common area renovations, and upgraded building systems.
The property also benefits from versatile E-3 Office zoning that includes hospitals and medical clinics, scientific and research laboratories, educational centers, and front- and back-office support services for both banking and financial institutions.
This broad zoning framework expands the property’s appeal across the corporate, healthcare, life-science, research, and professional-services sectors, subject to applicable municipal requirements and approvals.
In July, NAI James E. Hanson negotiated the $9.1 million sale of a 30,300-square-foot industrial building located at 178 Commerce Rd. in Carlstadt.
