PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council, at last week’s agenda meeting, voted to formulate a resolution to designate 1515 Route 10 (Lot 1.2, Block 200) as a Redevelopment Area according to N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-1 et seq.

The resolution will be presented to the Council at the meeting that starts at 7:30 p.m. at Parsippany Municipal Building, 1001 Parsippany Boulevard.

The property, Intel Corporate Center, located at 1515 Route 10,  was recently sold to Stanbery Development, LLC.

The sale was arranged by Colliers International. It was reported Stanbery Development, LLC., paid $14.1 million for the property.  The three-story buildings total 288,742 square feet and are currently triple net leased to the Intel Corporation through December 31, 2015. Intel, a global company and maker of semiconductor chips, has vacated the property.

The first building is 213,742 square feet and features a dramatic atrium with marble floors, while the second is 75,000 square feet. Both assets provide 930 feet of frontage on Route 10 and on-site feature amenities, including a full-service cafeteria, professional gym facility, conference areas, and an outdoor terrace with seating.

On March 12, when Parsippany Focus received the press release announcing the sale (click here for story), the new owners have yet to announce their plans for the property, described as a well-located two-building asset in the heart of the Parsippany market, which will likely draw attention from a wide array of space users.

Property located at 1515 Route 10.
Property is located at 1515 Route 10.

The property is divided between the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills and Hanover Township. 17.052 acres are located within Parsippany, and 5.92 acres are in Hanover Township.

On April 1, 18 days later, the attorneys for Stanbery Development submitted a letter to the Township Council applying to designate the property as redevelopment.

In their proposal, the development contemplates a 50-room hotel, 90,700 square feet of retail space, 45,000 square feet of restaurant space, 61,500 square feet of office space and 180 one-bedroom units, and 62 two-bedroom units.

The project is projected to generate approximately $1.6 million annually, anticipated to accrue to Parsippany Township, which is close to 2.5 times greater than the existing revenues.

According to their proposal, the residential development will generate 410 new residents, including 12 school-age children. This reflects the number of total units and proposed bedrooms within the project.

An affiliate of Stanbery Development, LLC, and the developer/owner of The Shoppes at Union Hill in Denville, acquired the complex.

Their letter to the Township Council included a detailed Fiscal Impact Study and Feasibility Study for Redevelopment Area Designation.

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Municipal Alliance (MAC) invites all coaches and parents to take a night to educate on “Bullying in Sports: The Injuries We Don’t See” presented by Coach Randy Nathan.  This event will be held at Central Middle School on Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m.

Bullying In Sports is a powerful presentation that increase awareness of bullying and bullying behavior that is associated within sports. Coach Randy addresses the areas where bullying behavior exists, identifies the warning signs of being bullied and/or aggressive behavior, shares effective strategies for dealing with conflict and prejudice and encourages those in athletics to become “Upstanders” and leaders on their team, schools and communities.

Coaches: Coaches play a critical factor in a player’s life. Coaches are encouraged to become aware of their own style and behavior, while simultaneously holding their player’s accountable for their conduct on and off the field. The coach-player Bullying_in_Sports_front_cvr1-682x1024relationship is one of the most valuable assets in addressing the culture within schools.

Players: Student-Athletes are unknowingly being indoctrinated on the three main components of bullying behavior. They may be critical elements of success in sports, however they are detrimental in the classroom. Raising their awareness of their behavior will encourage them to become leaders and Upstanders.

Parents: A consumer mentality has infiltrated youth sports. Parents invest large sums of money to provide their player an advantage. As a result there is an expectation of a return on that investment. Players experience increased stress, coaches are confronted and spectators go uncontrolled.

Coach Randy is an international keynote speaker, workshop facilitator and edutainer. His high energy and dynamic approach engages participants by introducing valuable strategies to overcome obstacles and inspires them to achieve their personal goals.
