Department of Defense Provider Signs Lease at Advance Realty’s Picatinny Applied Research Campus in Morris County, N.J.
EOIR Technologies Attracted to Site’s $1.5 Billion of High-Tech Equipment and Lab Space, Thousands of On-Site Scientists, Research Development and Engineering Personnel
Advance Realty, a leading Northeast U.S. owner and developer of mixed-use, multi-family, and Class A office properties, announced today that EOIR Technologies has signed a lease at The Picatinny Applied Research Campus (The PARC), a high-tech office/research park located at Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County, N.J.
A technology services company serving agencies within the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and several segments of the Intelligence Community, EOIR Technologies will occupy 2,715 square feet of The PARC’s flex building — a 27,500-square-foot, single-story site.
The space will serve as EOIR Technologies’ new field office location, and will support its work with the U.S. Army’s Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), which has been EOIR’s biggest customer for nearly 30 years. The firm has numerous East Coast sites and already has New Jersey locations in Eatontown and Montville.
Advance Realty Managing Director Brian Banaszynski represented the landlord in the transaction, while CBRE First Vice President Randy L. Eigen negotiated on behalf of the tenant.
“EOIR Technologies is precisely the type of premier tenant Advance had hoped to attract to The PARC, and this addition will greatly enhance the site’s dynamic work environment,” Banaszynski said. “Government contractors, in particular, appreciate The PARC’s independently designed office units and the unique opportunity to gain direct access to all that the base has to offer.”
The flex building is part of The PARC’s initial development phase that will feature approximately 100,000 square feet of office/lab space within Picatinny’s downtown area. Future plans for The PARC include additional development of one- to three-story build-to-suit and multi-tenanted buildings with labs, Class A office space and multi-purpose flex space for high tech, defense and academic tenants and users. Currently, the base has $1.5 billion of high technology equipment, extensive high-tech laboratory space, thousands of on-site scientists, research development and engineering personnel. In addition, tenants of The PARC will also have access to the amenities of Picatinny Arsenal, which include food services, recreational fields and an 18-hole golf course.
