Advance Realty’s One Gateway Center in Newark Receives NJ Smart Workplace Recognition for Third Consecutive Year
Company is Once Again Honored for Implementing Employee Commuting Programs to Reduce Traffic Congestion and Improve Air Quality
Advance Realty, a leading Northeast U.S. owner and developer of Class A office, mixed-use and flex-space properties, is being honored for a third consecutive year for its outstanding achievements in promoting alternative commuting programs that reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality at One Gateway Center, the company’s strategically located office tower in downtown Newark, N.J.
As a result of Advance Realty’s efforts to reduce dependence on cars and mitigate impact on surrounding traffic and the environment, the company will be honored as part of the 2010 NJ Smart Workplaces winners’ circle by the State of New Jersey’s Department of Transportation.
The annual NJ Smart Workplace award recognizes organizations that provide excellent commuter benefits to employees, such as providing compensation toward transit passes or to each employee who utilizes a carpool, or by offering telework or compressed work week programs to reduce commuting.
“We are very proud to be accepting this award for a third year, and to be recognized for our commitment to maintaining environmentally conscious business practices,” said Rick Zack, general manager of One Gateway Center. “In addition to the strides we have made to promote alternative commuting programs for the employees within One Gateway, the building offers surrounding tenants convenient access to its on-site amenities, including food service, retail establishments and banks, in turn reducing area traffic even further.”
One Gateway Center was constructed to allow tenants and visitors to take advantage of Newark’s convenient public transportation modes, including being connected via covered bridges to Newark Penn Station, which houses NJ Transit, PATH and Amtrak. The building also exists along a pedestrian concourse that features numerous shopping and dining options.
One Gateway Center boasts one of the most strategic locations in New Jersey. Located in the heart of Newark’s business district, the tower is attached to Penn Station and is at the crossroads of Interstates 78, 24, I-280, the NJ Turnpike and Highways 21, 1 and 9.
The tower is adjacent to the Seton Hall University Law School and is just blocks from the prestigious NJ Performing Arts Center. It is also just minutes from Newark International Airport by car and 20 minutes by PATH to midtown Manhattan.
Home to banks, a hotel, a fitness center and restaurants, One Gateway Center features panoramic views of both Newark and the Manhattan skyline.
