NAI James E. Hanson has been selected to lead the leasing effort at 120 Mountainview Blvd. in Basking Ridge, NJ, the former world headquarters of Barnes & Noble. Senior vice presidents W. Joshua Levering, SIOR, and Charles Laginestra, along with associate Chris D’Andrea, were appointed by First National Realty Management, LLC as the exclusive leasing team for the office property.
The building at 120 Mountainview is positioned as a Class A office asset with a range of on-site amenities designed to support corporate users. The property features a two-story lobby intended to create a prominent arrival experience for tenants and visitors. An on-site cafe provides food and beverage options within the building, complemented by outdoor seating areas that offer additional space for informal meetings and breaks.
Recreational and convenience features at the property include a bocce court and more than 500 on-site parking spaces, supporting both employee amenities and commuter access. These elements, taken together, reflect a focus on providing a full-service office environment for prospective headquarters and large-office users.
The location of 120 Mountainview offers regional connectivity via nearby Interstates 78 and 287. This transportation access provides links to Newark Liberty International Airport, allowing for regional and national air travel, and to New York City, supporting connectivity to a major employment and business center. The property is also situated along Somerset County’s established corporate corridor, placing it among a concentration of existing corporate facilities.
Levering characterized the assignment as an uncommon chance for tenants to secure a large block of Class A space within one of the state’s established corporate locations. He noted that the property benefits from new ownership that is experienced and committed to reinvesting in the asset. According to Levering, this ownership profile, combined with the building’s existing infrastructure and amenities, positions 120 Mountainview for tenants seeking a headquarters setting that emphasizes flexibility, connectivity, and responsive ownership.
The leasing team will market the building to users that prioritize a combination of amenity-rich space and regional accessibility. With its headquarters legacy, structured parking, and direct access to major transportation routes, 120 Mountainview is being presented as a candidate for organizations looking to consolidate or upgrade their office footprint within Somerset County’s corporate landscape.
