Newark, NJ – April 2019 – Gilbane Building Company, one of the Top Ranked Contractors in New Jersey according to Engineering News-Record New York, is pleased to announce the relocation of its office to the heart of Newark’s Business District. Gilbane’s highly anticipated move is motivated by continued strategic growth in New Jersey and the company’s commitment to integrating into the fabric of Newark’s community as a whole.
“To have Gilbane — one of the nation’s leading construction companies — move its New Jersey headquarters to Newark speaks volumes for the commercial growth of our city and the scope of our construction market. Gilbane’s move sends a strong signal that Newark is a welcome location for companies and their employees.” – Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark
Commonly referred to as the Newark Legal Center, Gilbane’s new extensive office is located at One Riverfront Plaza, which in the Gateway District. This strategic move is not only beneficial to Gilbane’s clients and community partners; it is also a positive change for the Gilbane team. The central location of the Gateway District provides Gilbane’s growing employee base with a more centralized hub for operations and amenities, all within a short walk of everything Newark has to offer.
“Having personally been involved in the construction of the Prudential Center, I am very excited for my family’s company move to Newark,” said William J. Gilbane III, Senior Vice President of the New York division of Gilbane Building Company. He added, “we are very excited about the position Newark holds in the growth of the Region.”
Gilbane’s Newark move underscores its commitment to being a builder in New Jersey and giving back to the local community. Working in New Jersey for more than 50 years, our building and development companies continue to experience year over year growth and are community builders that deliver exceptional facilities with lasting value.
