K. Hovanian Relocates Headquarters to Bell Works Holmdel

K. Hovnanian Companies LLC has signed a 72,388-square-foot headquarters relocation at Bell Works, the former Bell Labs research campus located at 101 Crawfords Corner Rd. in Holmdel, NJ. The transaction includes a sublease with iCIMS followed by a direct lease extension with building ownership, Inspired by Somerset Development.

“Our team evaluated every scenario, from remaining in place and renewing to expanding and pursuing a relocation, before identifying an exceptional opportunity at Bell Works,” said Peter Ladas, EVP, JLL. “By first structuring a new sublease with iCIMS, followed by a direct lease extension, we were able to secure premium, fully furnished space at favorable economics and greater long-term cost certainty.”
