Fujitsu General America to Relocate US HQ to Montville

MONTVILLE, NJ— Fujitsu General America, Inc. has signed a 32,000-square-foot lease at 340 Changebridge Road in Montville and will relocate its operations currently housed in Fairfield, NJ to the property early next year.

The international cooling and heating solutions firm will shift its US headquarters from 353 Route 46 West Fairfield, NJ. Cushman & Wakefield’s Ben Brenner represented the Fujitsu General global subsidiary in its site search and lease negotiation with Cushman & Wakefield’s MariaGrace Iantosca. He says the relocation from Fairfield marks a notable “flight to quality” move for Fujitsu General America.

“We look forward to our upcoming move and all the benefits it will bring for our team and our organization,” says Matt Peterson, president of Fujitsu General America. “We appreciate what a positive experience the Cushman & Wakefield team created for us throughout the site search and negotiation process.”

340 Changebridge Road is owned by Real Capital Solutions. Cushman & Wakefield’s Curtis Foster and Jerry Shifrin serve as exclusive leasing agents for the recently repositioned, 100,000-square-foot property, part of a former Bayer Pharmaceuticals campus fronting I-80 at Exit 48. Fujitsu General has partnered with Studio Eagle as architect and general contractor for its fit-out. The firm anticipates taking occupancy in early 2020.

“Fujitsu General previously housed its offices and warehousing at a tertiary flex facility,” says Brenner, an executive director with Cushman & Wakefield. He adds that Fujitsu’s warehouse operation will relocate to Piscataway.

“This new headquarters offers a completely modern, Class A environment. The client empowered my team to find a property that would transform the culture of its business—with a landlord who would recognize the opportunity to partner with one of the world’s most recognizable brands,” Brenner notes.
