FLORHAM PARK, NJ – HFF announced today that it has closed

building in Parsippany, New Jersey.
HFF
represented the seller, Mack-Cali Realty Corp. in the transaction. The buyer, Griffin Capital purchased 22
Sylvan Way for approximately $96.6 million.
In addition to the sales price, Griffin is assuming responsibility for

The three-story property is the only building in New Jersey
to have LEED designations in both Commercial Interiors (2010) and Existing
