Colliers International has been retained by Somerset Development as the exclusive retail leasing agent for the Bell Works in the heart of Somerset County. The two million sqf mixed-use redevelopment project is the former Bell Labs office building. The project will include shops, restaurants, community services, healthcare space, a public library, and a hotel, all connected by an indoor pedestrian “street” that spans the length of three football fields. Originally constructed in 1964, the building served for over 40 years as the research headquarters for Bell Laboratories, Lucent, and Alcatel-Lucent.
“Bell Works is one of the most exciting projects of recent times and will add great value not just to the dynamism of Holmdel, but the entire area,” Nancy Erickson Executive Managing Director, Colliers International said. “There is tremendous demand throughout Central New Jersey for an expansive, multi-layered retail destination. Bell Works is a once-in-a-generation redevelopment.”
