Inspired by Somerset Development recently celebrated the grand opening of Bell Works Fort Monmouth, unveiling its third “Metroburb” campus nationwide—and second in New Jersey—less than a year after launching leasing and with more than 223,000 square feet already spoken for.
Spanning nearly 277,000 square feet in Tinton Falls, the mixed-use complex marks a rapid adaptive reuse of the former Commvault corporate headquarters, which Inspired acquired in 2025. The property opens with less than 10% of its space remaining available, anchored by a leaseback agreement with Commvault and the incoming global headquarters of Jersey Mike’s Subs.
Inspired President and CEO Ralph Zucker said the campus’s early momentum underscores both demand for integrated suburban office-and-retail hubs and broader economic investment across Monmouth County, including Netflix’s major production studio development at Fort Monmouth.
“Bell Works began with a simple idea: where others saw an underutilized corporate campus, we saw an opportunity to create something the entire community could benefit from and enjoy,” Zucker said in a statement. “There’s something special happening in Tinton Falls and across the region right now. With Netflix coming to Fort Monmouth and new investment bringing more attention to the area, we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible.”

“We’ve had a front-row seat to the transformation of this property, from our corporate headquarters into Bell Works Fort Monmouth, and the change has been remarkable,” Commvault Chief Trust Officer Danielle Sheer said. “Seeing new companies, amenities and members of the broader community come through the doors has brought new energy to the building, while still giving our team a place where we can grow and thrive.”
Following the blueprint established at Bell Works Holmdel in Monmouth County and Bell Works Chicagoland in Illinois, the Tinton Falls campus combines turnkey “Ready-to-Wear” suites (700 to 3,000 square feet) and customizable “Built-to-Suit” floorplates (10,000 to over 30,000 square feet) with coLab, Bell Works’ flexible coworking membership space. According to coLab Managing Director Sean Donohue, all team suites in the permanent coworking space opened fully leased, leaving only a limited number of dedicated desks and private executive offices.
In a shift from its previous life as a closed corporate campus, Bell Works Fort Monmouth is open to the general public seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. On-site public amenities include Bell Market and Jersey Mike’s (open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), Soluna Fitness—which offers Pilates, hot yoga, strength training, infrared saunas, and cold-plunge recovery—a 250-guest conference and event center with an outdoor patio, and 16 electric vehicle charging stations.
