In response to demand among smaller legal and professional services firms in search of turnkey high-quality office space, a new program has been announced at Court Plaza South in Hackensack. The Class A building now offers opportunities to lease flexible-term, pre-built office units ranging in size from 462 to 2,320 square feet, according to Alfred Sanzari Enterprises, owner and manager of the property.

The program is designed to bridge the gap between an office suite and permanent office space, according to Richard Mirliss, executive managing director of Colliers International NJ LLC, exclusive leasing agent for Court Plaza.

“We have experienced a high level of interest from individuals and companies looking for professional, but smaller-sized office space. The business-ready pre-built units cater to a population that otherwise would not find space options in an asset of Court Plaza’s caliber,” said Mirliss. “Essentially, we are taking the complexity out of the leasing process for tenants, many of whom have specific timeframe requirements and need to be up and operational fairly quickly.”

Court Plaza’s location, directly across from the Bergen County Courthouse, makes it an attractive option for tenants of all sizes seeking a coveted downtown Hackensack office setting. “Even the tenants which don’t need as much space have access to all of Court Plaza’s top-flight on-site amenities, as well as the cachet of being associated with the many larger companies already doing business in this premier office environment,” said Stephen C. Jennings, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises’ vice-president of leasing and marketing. “In the Bergen County marketplace, there are very few commercial buildings that can match the convenience and prestige of Court Plaza.”

Two legal tenants already have taken advantage of the small space program. Attorney Kenneth M. Grossman leased 462 square feet of space, and The Reinartz Law Firm – with offices in Jersey City and New York – will occupy 523 square feet.

The 335,000-square-foot Court Plaza office complex encompasses Court Plaza North, Court Plaza South and Court Plaza East. Tenants enjoy an extensively landscaped plaza with fountains and seating areas, ample covered parking, a full-service bank, shoe shine/repair and dry cleaning services, eco-friendly car wash service, a fitness center, public transportation to New York City and Northern N.J., a cafeteria with indoor and outdoor seating, and a common meeting room. As the headquarters location for Alfred Sanzari Enterprises, Court Plaza is just one mile from Routes 4 and 17, and I-80. The complex is located near shops, restaurants and other area conveniences.

Court Plaza also features the Alfred and Mary Sanzari Garden, a public garden honoring the legacy of Alfred and Mary Sanzari, co-founders of the real estate development firm. Located on the corner of Main and Essex streets, the 10,000-square-foot site was designed as a place to relax and enjoy nature for members of the community as well as Court Plaza’s tenants and area professionals. The garden features a fountain, brick and stone pathways and walls, benches and decorative lighting, all surrounded by lush plantings.

Space availabilities at Court Plaza range from 462 square feet to 50,000 square feet.
