The Hampshire Companies Hosts Open House to Showcase Office/Flex/Warehouse Building in Fair Lawn, NJ

Fair Lawn, NJ (February 2007) — The Hampshire Companies, a full service, private real estate investment fund manager with equity in assets valued at over $1.5 billion, hosted more than 70 brokers on January 30, 2007, at their open house and luncheon event for their office/flex/warehouse property located at 18-01 Pollitt Drive in Fair Lawn, NJ. The 146,639-square-foot building is a part of the Hampshire Partners Fund VI portfolio, Hampshire’s $235 million institutional real estate investment fund.

The event showcased the highly flexible, 127,000 square feet of space that is currently available for lease. The property offers not only a superior business address, but the new on-site management team has assembled an excellent service and amenity package to fit the needs of a variety of tenants. As an incentive for attending the open house, Hampshire and NAI James E. Hanson, the exclusive leasing agent for the property, awarded a number of attendees American Express Gift Cards totaling $1,000.

“This event offered the commercial real estate brokerage community a chance to tour the building and discuss the many planned improvements and upgrades that Hampshire has begun implementing at the property,” said NAI James E. Hanson Sales Associate Thomas A. Vetter. “With vacancy rates below seven percent in Bergen County, the property's location and Hampshire’s ownership and management abilities make 18-01 Pollitt Drive one of the top availabilities of its type in the Northern New Jersey marketplace."
