Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce it completed a 64,000-square-foot, long-term lease extension and expansion for ZelisTM Healthcare at 2 Crossroads Drive in Bedminster, New Jersey. NGKF Managing Director Larry Martin represented the tenant in the transaction. Zelis is slated to take over the additional space by mid-summer of 2017.
Zelis moved into the two-story building ten years ago, initially occupying 14,000 square feet on a single floor. The new lease provides Zelis full use of the property as it continues its growth initiatives in the healthcare information technology space. The property serves as the official headquarters of Zelis, which has additional campuses in Atlanta and Clearwater.
“When the opportunity was presented to occupy the remaining space at 2 Crossroads Drive, Zelis took advantage of it to create a single tenant corporate headquarters location,” said Martin.
“It was a pleasure working with Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. Expansion into our headquarters property ensures little disruption to our associates and our valued clients,” said Doug Klinger, CEO of Zelis Healthcare.
