Mack-Cali breaks ground on white plains project.

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation recently broke ground on a 33,000-SF office/flex property in Westchester County that will accommodate the expansion needs of two of its tenants. The building will be located at 125 Clearbrook Road in Mack-Cali's Cross-Westchester Executive Park in Elmsford, N.Y.

Two leases have been signed at the new building: ADT Security Systems, a subsidiary of Tyco International and a manufacturer of security and alarm systems, has leased 18,000 SF of space for a 10-year period and Ademco Distribution, Inc., a subsidiary of Honeywell, Inc., has leased 15,000 SF for a 10-year period.

Attending the groundbreaking ceremony were town of Greenburgh supervisor Paul Feiner, Village of Elmsford Mayor Arthur DeAngelis, and representatives from ADT, Ademco, and Mack-Cali.

Mitchell B. Hersh, chief executive officer of Mack-Cali, commented, "We're pleased to be able to accommodate the expansion needs of our tenants while also building on our strong presence in this important Northeast market."

The project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2002 at an estimated cost of $5.2 million.
