Bayer AG sought to consolidate operations into one central facility in the NJ I-287 corridor. Advance had a Morristown property that suited Bayer’s requirements, offering easy access to I-287, Route 24 and I-80. Original development approvals had to be modified to include not just the original 69,000 sf plan, but an additional 100,000 sf of space as well. Advance fast-tracked the project to meet Bayer’s 12-month launch schedule, using 2 architectural/ engineering firms to design space simultaneously; and 3 separate construction firms to simultaneously execute the project. The $27 million project was on time and on budget.
Developed as a custom build-to-suit facility for Bayer AG Consumer Care, this headquarters represents a seamless integration of research, office, and corporate operations within a single, high-performance environment. Located at 45 Whippany Road in Morris Township, the property was designed to reflect Bayer’s global brand while supporting the specialized demands of pharmaceutical R&D and corporate functions.
Spanning approximately 169,000 square feet, the facility brings together laboratory, office, and collaborative space in a cohesive campus environment—delivered on time and within budget through Advance’s fully integrated development platform.
