All current joint venture projects between the Birch Group and Vision Properties will now have the leasing expertise of the Garibaldi Group overseeing projects.
Beginning with 350 & 360 Mount Kemble Ave. in Morristown, the Garibaldi Group has committed a team to oversee the project, made up of company CEO Jeff Garibaldi, Directors Jackie Madden and Brian Cass plus associate broker Bojan Nastoski.
This announcement solidifies the partnership between TGG and the Birch Group/Vision Properties, as Garibaldi is also the exclusive leasing broker for the team’s property at 180 Park Ave. in Florham Park. 180 Park is a Class A office building that spans 228,000 square feet and is located in the prestigious Morris County campus known as the Green at Florham Park.
After just three years under new ownership, both Mount Kemble Avenue buildings and the surrounding property have undergone significant improvements, including an expanded full-service café, renovated lobbies, as well as an upgraded fitness center complete with multiple Peloton bikes for tenants to use. The buildings, now Wired Certified Silver, also boasts covered parking with solar panels, an onsite conferencing center, 24-hour secure access with walking paths surrounding a fully landscaped campus that also includes covered outdoor collaboration space plus gathering areas, all alongside a man-made pond.
The joint venture team has promised continued improvements to the property throughout the next three years and beyond, and, going off of their recent track record, their commitment seems genuine.
“This ownership group sets itself apart by its understanding of the tenant experience,” Madden said. “Perhaps even more important, they understand ‘the moment’ we are in, especially from the tenant’s perspective, and they make it clear they are ready and willing to accommodate whatever future needs may arise.”
“This team of Birch and Vision Properties have a keen instinct when it comes to understanding the market and knowing when they have an opportunity to differentiate itself from the pack,” Jeff Garibaldi stated. “They are excellent at identifying value in an asset, and then break down that value to identify the distinct qualities of the asset and further activate those qualities to help make it stand out even more among competition, plus they are a pleasure to work with.”
