MURRAY HILL-- Over the past 12 months there were six transactions totaling more than 46,000 sf at Mountain Heights Center, 430 Mountain Avenue in Murray Hill.

The combination of new leases, renewals and expansions punctuates a year of notable progress at the 182,298-sf, Class A office building, which Vision Equities, LLC of Mountain Lakes purchased in late 2006.

Cushman & Wakefield's Bill Brown and Adam Padla, both based in the firm's Morristown office, serve as the property's exclusive leasing agents. According to Brown, 430 Mountain Avenue is benefiting from the success of a full repositioning and aggressive marketing campaign launched in 2007.

The effort brought four new tenants to the property last year:

--Atlanta-based law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP leased 13,300 square feet and relocated its branch office to 430 Mountain Ave. from a Somerset County location. Brown and Padla negotiated the long-term transaction as the property's leasing agents; Jeff Kolodkin and Dawn Arrabito of Grubb & Ellis served as brokers for the tenant.

--New Venture Partners LLC, a global venture capital firm, relocated its headquarters to 430 Mountain Ave. in a local expansion move. Brown and Padla negotiated the long-term transaction as leasing agents for the property; James Schroeder of Studley served as tenant broker for the 7,800-sf lease.

--Aleri Inc., a Chicago-based, leading provider of enterprise-class complex event processing (CEP) technology, leased 6,700 sf at 430 Mountain Ave., relocating from Newark. Brown and Padla negotiated the long-term transaction as leasing agents for the property; Dan DePalma of Jones Lang LaSalle served as broker for the tenant.

--Grinspec, Inc., a division of Brown & Brown Insurance, leased 3,300 sf for its regional office, relocating from New Providence, N.J. Cushman & Wakefield brokered the long-term lease for both the property and tenant.

Additionally, two existing tenants at 430 Mountain Ave. renewed their commitments at the property.

Vision Equities completed a full lobby renovation, including the incorporation of modern finishes and flat-screen televisions, and common area upgrades throughout the four-story structure. Tenants also enjoy a full-service cafeteria, on-site gym, in-house management and manned security. The building occupies a park-like setting with accessibility to I-78, Routes 22 and 24, the Garden State Parkway, and mass transit train and bus lines.
