Reckson celebrates fast pace at West Windsor project.

Reckson Associates Realty Corp. recently held a topping-off ceremony at Reckson University Square, a 313,000 s/f, five-story office building in West Windsor, N.J.

West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh, the project's development team and representatives from Reckson Associates and GVA Williams New Jersey were on hand to watch the American flag being raised to the final steel beam within the building's frame.

Construction on the project commenced in the third quarter of 2005 and is expected to be completed in time for occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2006.

"Reckson has every confidence in the success of this premiere speculative development. Its location within the desirable Princeton market and quality design will set a new standard for excellence in the New Jersey area," said Todd Rechler, corporate senior vice president and managing director of Reckson Associates' New Jersey division. "We thank our entire development team for the excellent work they are performing to not only deliver Reckson University Square on time, but also to build a signature property that will help define the marketplace as one of the preeminent office markets in the country."

Located on the north-eastern corner of US Highway 1 and Alexander Road, Reckson University Square is located within the well-known Princeton market and is in close proximity to the Princeton Junction Amtrak and New Jersey Transit train station. The building features a dramatic two-story atrium, first-class dining facility, outstanding fitness facility and teleconferencing/ boardroom for tenants to utilize. Additional amenities include state-of-the-art prewired optics and communications systems, superior riser capacity and backup generator.

"We are pleased to lease and market this outstanding new class A office building on behalf of Reckson," said David Simson, president of GVA Williams New Jersey, who is leading this assignment with Tom Romano and Steve Tolcash, of GVA Buschman. "This world-class facility incorporates the latest technologically advanced workplace coupled at an incredible location. Designed and developed by Reckson, the building will contain architecturally distinctive features and the highest quality materials and construction. The distinctive granite facade and exposure the building offers to a high-profile corporate user on the Route 1 corridor should drive dynamic demand for this property."
