Amedisys Inc., a leading home health and hospice care provider, has leased 13,000 square feet at Court Plaza South in Hackensack for regional office and administrative purposes, announced Alfred Sanzari Enterprises, owner and manager of the Class A office complex.

The transaction was negotiated by Colliers International NJ LLC on behalf of Alfred Sanzari Enterprises. Rob Wolfle of Swearingen Real Estate Group LLC represented the tenant.

“Court Plaza’s all-inclusive environment is attractive to companies of all sizes. Amedisys Inc. chose Court Plaza in order to upgrade their image and take advantage of the numerous on-site amenities this premier office complex has to offer,” said Brian Cass, senior managing director of Colliers International NJ LLC. “Stable on-site property ownership and management were added advantages to the tenant.”

Amedisys Inc. is relocating to Court Plaza South from another Hackensack office location. The move allows Amedisys Inc. to better serve its clients throughout the region, and accommodates the firm’s rapid and projected growth, according to Rhoda Stevens, the company’s vice president of operations.

“Court Plaza is a very attractive and well-maintained office building,” said Stevens. “We immediately were impressed with the layout and flow of our new space, as well as the professionalism and responsiveness of the entire Alfred Sanzari Enterprises’ team. Court Plaza’s large covered parking lot, on-site cafeteria and proximity to public transportation will be wonderful amenities for our employees, clients and guests.”

Headquartered in Baton Rouge, La., Amedisys Inc. delivers personalized home health and hospice care to approximately 380,000 patients each year, and is a post-acute care partner to more than 2,233 hospitals and 61,900 physicians across the country. The company is focused on delivering the best care for its patients, including home-based recovery and rehabilitation services, chronic disease management, palliative care for those with a terminal illness and end-of-life hospice care.

The 335,000-square-foot Court Plaza office complex encompasses Court Plaza North, Court Plaza South and Court Plaza East. All 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 New Jersey, 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.

A recent key enhancement at Court Plaza is 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.

Colliers International NJ LLC currently is marketing space availabilities at Court Plaza ranging from 450 square feet to 50,000 square feet.

“We were able to provide a space solution that allows Amedisys Inc. to offer their employees an outstanding work environment in an excellent location with room to expand in the future,” said Jerry L. Barta, vice president/director of leasing and marketing for Alfred Sanzari Enterprises. “We are excited to welcome Amedisys Inc. to our Court Plaza tenant roster, and look forward to being part of the company’s continued growth for many years to come.”
