MONTCLAIR, NJ—JLL will be LCOR's leasing agent for the office component of Valley & Bloom, a mixed-use community under construction here.

A total of 24,500 square feet of Class A office space will be created at the development.

The JLL team will be led by Jonathan Meisel, managing director, and Fred Hyatt, vice president, working with James Driscoll, senior vice president of LCOR.

Valley & Bloom is being co-developed by LCOR and The Pinnacle Cos. at the corner of Valley Road and Bloomfield Avenue in downtown Montclair on the site of a former car dealership. The address of the mixed-use community is 638 Bloomfield Avenue.

The project is the first to rise under the auspices of Montclair's Gateway Redevelopment Plan. Valley & Bloom will comprise two buildings, with a total of 258 apartments ranging from studio to two-bedroom layouts, and 25,500 square feet of retail space along with the office component. The complex will have 571 parking spaces.

“This is an exciting new development that is part of Montclair's vision for smart, inclusive development,” said Meisel. “Valley & Bloom is a live-work community in the midst of Montclair's vibrant downtown.”

Meisel said the office space would be ideal for a boutique company or tech start-up. With the first building under way, he said “This is an ideal time for a business seeking a custom build-out in a unique urban setting.”

LCOR and Pinnacle broke ground on the first building last November. The entire project is expected to be complete by spring 2015. The 23,650 square feet of office space available can be leased in its entirety or subdivided and customized for individual tenant needs.
