The ongoing redevelopment of Journal Square, the central business district of Jersey City, has taken another step forward with the repositioning of one of the “Square’s” office buildings: 600 Pavonia Avenue.
Built in 1987 as a state of the art medical arts building, 600 Pavonia Ave., now known as Pavonia Centre at Journal Square, is filling not just the needs of the ever-changing medical community, but now the high-tech needs of office users attracted to Journal Square’s transportation options at the PATH Transportation Center, located directly across the street from Pavonia Centre.
The new ownership of Pavonia Centre, Pavonia Realty Holdings LLC, retained Rockaway-based Parette Somjen Architects for the redesign’s architectural and design services, which will include a new lobby and elevator cabs and renovated common areas.
The Jersey City-based real estate brokerage firm GRID Real Estate has been hired as leasing agent. Bob Antonicello Sr., president, and Bobby Antonicello will be heading up the marketing campaign for Pavonia Centre.
Two of the building’s net tenants are, RWJBarnabas Health, which leased 17,900 square feet on two floors, creating a family health center, and Prime Work, a short-term all-inclusive office space provider with offices in Brooklyn and New Jersey. According to GRID, the latter has provided Jersey City with one of its largest co-working options.
“We are excited about this next phase for Pavonia Centre and the redevelopment of Journal Square. The team we have put in place of Cushman & Wakefield as managing agents, GRID Real Estate as leasing brokers and PSA for the architectural and design services, is a strong team,” says Jonathan Weiss, managing director of Pavonia Realty Holdings LLC.
