Summit, NJ - Claremont Corporate Center recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to announce plans for a 42,000 s/f class A office development located at 535 Springfield Ave in Summit.

We are very excited to be moving forward with our new office development plans for this important gateway to downtown Summit, said Chris Innes, CEO of Claremont Corporate Center. We are combining the stunning façade of the existing Risk Building with a new office building that provides all the modern amenities sophisticated tenants require. This unique project offers tenants a premier space option unlike any other in the Summit/Short Hills area.

CB Richard Ellis’ executive VPs Jeffrey Heller and William McCaffrey serve as exclusive leasing agents for this property on behalf of the owner. We are pleased to announce the groundbreaking of this exciting project and to serve as leasing agent for this one-of-a-kind, historic building in Summit, said Heller. The building’s history, coupled with the exciting restoration and expansion plans, make this a very unique opportunity for tenants looking for quality office space in desirable downtown Summit.

Conveniently located in downtown Summit, the development is situated in the Morris Avenue corridor from Rt. 24 and along River Rd. to I-78. Claremont Corporate Center will encompass the preservation and expansion of the historic Risk Building, which was inhabited by the prominent physician Dr. William H. Risk in the 1800s. Amenities will include underground parking, new aluminum windows, an atrium with glass parapets and skylights, new elevators, new exterior lighting and extensive landscaping.
