NAI James E. Hanson Closes Sale of Twin Office Building Complex on Parsippany Boulevard
PARSIPPANY — NAI Hanson, a leading New Jersey-based commercial real estate firm, announced that it has arranged the sale of the 44,596-square-foot, class-A Boulevard Common office complex at 1140-1160 Parsippany Boulevard. The buyer, enterprise technology solutions provider Micro Strategies, Inc. will occupy the complex’s two buildings after relocating from Mt. Olive. They will be bringing close to 150 employees to Parsippany.
NAI Hanson Senior Vice President Josh Levering, SIOR and Executive Managing Director Michael Walters, SIOR marketed the twin-building campus on behalf of the property’s previous owner HGF Parsippany Blvd, LLC. The buyer was represented by Cushman and Wakefield.
According to Levering, Micro Strategies was impressed with the recently renovated complex’s overall package of offerings, including its condition and state-of-the-art infrastructure, its window lines, the opportunity to brand through visible building signage and its convenient location — less than one mile from Routes 287, 80 and 46, which enables direct driving access from every direction in Northern New Jersey
Levering also noted that this transaction reflects an emerging trend of companies pursuing opportunities to own the office facilities they occupy.
“We’re seeing increased interest among companies to purchase buildings they intend to occupy,” Levering said. “Buildings as well-maintained as Boulevard Commons have become attractive investment assets especially for growing companies that want to make long-term commitments the region. Property ownership is an expression that companies are committed long term and here to stay. Ownership indicates growth and prosperity with a desire to contribute to civic life in the community they locate.”

Dr. Edward J. Yaw to Retire as CCM President in 2016 Marking 30 Years of His Presidency and Leadership at the College
RANDOLPH — Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of County College of Morris (CCM), announced that he has informed the CCM Board of Trustees that he will not seek renewal of his contract when it expires in August 2016.
Yaw told the college community of his decision this morning at CCM’s spring Professional Day for faculty and staff.
“I want to express my deep sense of gratitude for what we have been able to accomplish here,” said Yaw. “I am especially proud of our faculty. It is because of their dedication that our academic programs are so widely recognized in the state and even around the nation.”
Yaw was appointed the second president of the college in 1986, following the retirement of CCM’s first president, Dr. Sherman H. Masten. Yaw first joined CCM in 1980 as Dean of Academic Affairs. Prior to that, he served as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Adelphi University in New York.
Under his leadership, CCM has become one of the state’s leading community colleges. As a result of his vision and guidance, the college has one of the highest combined transfer and graduation rates among community colleges in New Jersey. Students and faculty also are regularly presented with awards and honors for their accomplishments.
In addition, Yaw has played an instrumental role in shaping higher education in New Jersey through his work on professional and educational councils. During his service as chair of the New Jersey Presidents Council – representing all of the state’s colleges and universities – he led the effort to enact a statewide transfer agreement to ease the process for students seeking to pursue their educations beyond an associate degree. An active community leader, he has served on the boards of numerous organizations, including the Morris County Chamber of Commerce and the Urban League of Morris County, offering his time and expertise to improving the lives of others.
Yaw earned his Ed.D. from Columbia University, his M.S. from Southern Illinois University and his B.A. from Harpur College, SUNY Binghamton.
