BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Oct. 9, 2024 — The Connell Company, one of the largest diversified, privately held corporations in the U.S., recently unveiled Round Table (RT) Workspaces, a key component of its “work resort” concept at The Park. As part of The Park’s $500 million transformation from office campus to live-work-stay destination, Round Table Workspaces marks the first phase of Round Table Resort, a resort and lifestyle experience for today’s modern workers.

“At the center of The Park’s evolution is the redevelopment of our office spaces to create a five-star luxury work resort that fosters a new culture of work/life balance by adding hospitality-driven amenity spaces and services, as well as giving workers opportunity to advance their health, education, and overall wellbeing,” said Shane Connell, Executive Vice President at The Connell Company. “Putting people at the forefront was key in our redesign and is the reason Round Table Workspaces continues to attract top-tier companies to call The Park home.”

In addition to an elevated design and infrastructure, RT Workspaces now features indoor and outdoor spaces with collaborative lounges, workstations, meeting rooms, bars, and cafes. Each building also contains game rooms with recreational amenities, including pool tables, ping pong tables, and multi-sport simulators to encourage movement and a healthy work/life balance. Tenants of RT Workspaces also have access to FIELDHOUSE, the campus’ wellness and fitness center, which offer class programming, open gyms with state-of-the-art equipment, personal training, nutrition coaching, and locker room facilities. Additionally, Table & Banter, the in-house hospitality team, provides delicious homemade and seasonal food, social activities, and catering and event services for all tenants.

The redevelopment of the campus’ workspaces and the further transition of The Park has helped attract top-tier talent within the business community, signing leases for over 250,000 square feet of office space in 2024 alone. The campus is already a popular destination, including the offices of marquee companies such as L’Oreal, Fiserv, Hikma, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Aon, and Samsung. With an occupancy of 97%, RT Workspaces has over 40 diverse tenants, including the most recent notable lease agreement with Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager. In addition to RT Workspaces, The Park is home to a 176-room Embassy Suites hotel, Grain & Cane Restaurant, Starbucks, Life Time Fitness, outdoor walking and jogging trails, and Round Table Studios — a 44,000 square foot coworking space that offers a curated selection of thoughtfully designed workstations, private offices, and community spaces.

Additionally, the campus will soon introduce a robust lineup of residential, dining, retail, wellness, and entertainment concepts within The District at The Park. To learn more, please visit: https://theparkatnj.com/.
