AMCS Inks at Bedminster One

BEDMINSTER, NJ-Continuing its leasing activity in the building, landlord S/K Bed One Associates signed AMCS Corp. to a long-term, 13,171-square-foot lease at its Bedminster One facility here.

FirstService Williams New Jersey represented the landlord, while John Kuhn, of Grubb & Ellis, represented AMCS in the lease transaction. According to industry experts, the asking rate for the building is $24.75. A leading global supplier of industrial gas and process plants, technology and engineering services AMCS will occupy the space in December.

The three-story Bedminster One is a 162,000-square-foot, class A office building in the final stages of a major capital improvement program, including renovations to all of the common areas and bathrooms, the main lobby, the men’s and women’s locker/shower facilities in the fitness center and an expanded café and seating area.

The new lease with AMCS follows GAIN Capital’s 45,000-square-foot pick up earlier this month. The building is now more than 80% occupied, up from 30% in 2008, when FSW took over as the leasing agent. The firm has arranged almost 100,000 square feet of leases in the building this year, and with ongoing interest, anticipates exceeding 90% occupancy by the end of 2009.
