It consists of three floors of office space atop a level of covered parking. Features include a state-of-the-art building management system, energy-efficient LED lighting and upgraded finishes throughout.

"A key trend in this office market has been a flight to quality, and the lease-up of 50 Parsippany Road is another indication of that trend, and of the quality of this asset and its ownership," said Williams. "Overall, according to our firm's research, the Parsippany market is one of three statewide in which first quarter leasing activity reached quarterly highs that had not been seen throughout 2013."
