Nessel Development, a commercial real estate investment firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, announced its acquisition of the four-building office campus at 300, 302, 330 and 350 Fellowship Road, Mount Laurel, New Jersey, representing the firm’s latest expansion in the region. Located on 20+ acres, the complex has a combined 234,563 square feet of Class A office space and features the only LEED Gold Certified building in Southern New Jersey outside of Camden. The mix of single- and multi-story buildings are state-of art, within a setting of interconnected walkways, brick patios, flowing ponds, fountains and sculptures, and home to a diverse group of high profile tenants. With a shared occupancy rate of 76% currently, the site will be at 90% leased by summer’s end. As part of its planned improvements, Nessel will be rebranding the site formerly named Liberty Walk at East Gate. The new Fellowship Corporate Center will capture the essence of what is currently one of the newest commercial real estate assets in the highly sought after Mount Laurel area.
