JLL secures Bridgewater lease extension for Brother International

JLL on Thursday said Brother International Corp. signed a lease extension for 101,724 square feet at 200 Crossing Blvd. in Bridgewater with building owner Piedmont Office Realty Trust.

Brother International was represented by JLL Managing Directors Andrew Zezas and Scott Lesh, and Senior Vice President Brian Davidson. Building owner Piedmont Office Realty Trust was represented by William McCaffrey, principal, with Avison Young.

“By extending its North American headquarters lease, Brother International was able to secure a longer-term real estate solution, on favorable terms, that supports the company’s operating and finance objectives,” said Zezas. “We are extremely pleased to have advised and represented Brother International, and to have provided guidance to the company’s CFO and leadership team, in planning and executing this important and timely engagement.”

Brother International will continue to occupy the fourth through sixth floors at the Class A, 298,911-square-foot office building located at the intersection of Route 22 and Commons Way, several blocks from Interstate 287.

The eight-story building was constructed in 2002. It is comprised of two mirror-image office buildings located at 200 and 400 Crossing Blvd., within the master-planned, mixed-use Bridgewater Commons commercial complex. It features first-class amenities that include a full-service cafeteria, café, fitness center, conference center, ATM, on-site helipad, on-site security personnel and property management.

Bridgewater Crossing features a solar panel array and an energy management system that helped the building achieve Energy Star certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. In 2017, the complex was recognized by the Building Owners and Managers Association’s Middle Atlantic Region as The Outstanding Building of the Year in its Suburban Mid-Rise category.
