Office Space for Lease in New Brunswick, NJ

The General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 2 is seeking to lease office space in New Brunswick, New Jersey, through a pre-solicitation notice. The agency requires 11,391-11,960 ABOA square feet of contiguous office space within a specific geographic boundary defined by Route 18, U.S. Route 1, Veronica Ave/How Lane/Route 26/Ridgewood Avenue, and Hamilton Street. Key requirements include 24/7 access, an efficient layout with regularly spaced columns, proximity to public transportation (within 1/2 mile walking distance), and a preference for first-floor or single-floor space. The space must meet stringent government standards for fire safety, accessibility, seismic requirements, and sustainability, and cannot be located in a 0.2% annual chance floodplain. Expressions of interest are due by December 12, 2024, with an anticipated market survey date of January 15, 2024, and planned occupancy by November 15, 2025.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors. The lease term is structured as a 120-month full term with a 60-month firm term, and the government currently occupies space in New Brunswick with 48 surface parking spaces. While specific award values are not disclosed, the solicitation suggests the government is evaluating alternative locations if economically advantageous. The space must include a minimum of two accessible elevators if located above ground level, and basement or below-grade spaces are explicitly excluded. Potential lessors should carefully review the detailed requirements in the attached advertisement, which provides comprehensive specifications for the desired office space, including specific geographical, structural, and operational constraints.
