Hollister Construction Services, a leading full-service construction manager specializing in corporate, educational, healthcare, industrial, retail and residential construction, recently delivered a new modern office space for new tenant, Dovetail, in Parsippany, NJ. Hollister was retained by Silverman Realty Group, Inc., a family-owned commercial real estate development/management firm, on behalf of the ownership, to build the space at 2 Gatehall Drive.

A financial technology market leader and innovator, Dovetail made the strategic decision to relocate to a new office facility that would meet their needs for a first class working and technology environment and their continued growth. The vacant and outdated space on the second floor of 2 Gatehall Drive was demolished and transformed into Dovetail’s new headquarters for North America.

Commenting on the move Bob Peters Dovetail’s Director of Infrastructure and Security, said, “We are all delighted with our new facility. It gives us everything we need both now and for the foreseeable future. Hollister has been a great choice - they integrated well with Dovetail, its vendors and the property owners to ensure our needs were met, the project stayed on schedule and that we were able to move in on time.”

With a significant proportion of Dovetail’s employees, including a number of the executive leadership team, based in this office, the new 25,000sf space features training, collaboration and conference rooms, private and general offices, data center and reception, a lunchroom and pantryand lobby area. In addition, the space is built entirely on a raised access floor system, allowing Dovetail to make quick and easy reconfigurations, which creates a significant benefit for their technological needs.

“Hollister did a terrific job managing the Dovetail buildout through all stages of the construction. We were particularly pleased with their attention to detail, their follow through and their ability to meet a very tight schedule,” said Maggie Stern, Director of Construction & Property Management, Silverman Realty Group.

Enhancing collaboration and productivity, the conference and collaboration rooms feature a combination of high definition projectors and monitors, while the tables are equipped with audio visual Extron communication boxes for remote access.

“Silverman Realty Group and Dovetail are extremely happy with Hollister’s management and delivery of the project,” said Michael Morris, Sr., project manager for Hollister. “We leveraged our established relationship with the local subcontractors and vendors, allowing us to deliver the new office ahead of the original schedule date.”

Hollister’s corporate portfolio continues to grow as the company continues to be retained by businesses and building owners throughout New Jersey and New York to transform existing or new facilities into modern corporate offices. Most recently, Hollister gutted an entire floor and transformed it into a 77,000sf state-of-the-art office to serve as Langan Engineering’s corporate headquarters. Hollister also just expanded Hudson Group’s corporate headquarters, encompassing of 28,000sf and a 7,000sf sound studio and a video lounge/conference room renovation for Audible.com’s Newark headquarters.

The Hollister project team includes Tony Bienert, project executive; Michael Morris, Sr., project manager; Peter Pietrucha, superintendent; Frank Caputo, senior estimator, and Gina Costa, project coordinator. Studio 1200 designed the space and Roxbury Engineering provided engineering services.
