Newmark announced that Ansell Limited, a worldwide leader in protection solutions, is relocating its global U.S.-based headquarters to the brand-new Metrotop Plaza II in Iselin, N.J., marking the first tenant for the building.
Ansell signed on to occupy 43,210 square feet in the nine-story, Class A building located at 111 Wood Avenue South, just off the Garden State Parkway. The 255,000-square-foot building was recently completed in 2011 and boasts polished granite and glass facades with a two-story atrium connecting the building to Metrotop Plaza I.
Ansell will receive signage on the building, which features superior exposure to the Parkway, says Newmark’s David Simson, vice chairman/COO of the N.J. operations, who along with Principal Jamie Drummond, represented Ansell in the deal. Jones Lang LaSalle represented the property owner, Atlantic Realty Development Co.
“The company was looking for a headquarters that represented its image, growth and vision. Nothing could top a state-of-the-art office building with prominent location by the Parkway,” Drummond said. “The area, which is easily accessible, has seen great interest from tenants this year.”
