Dentist Office, Boutique Coming To Bell Works In Holmdel

HOLMDEL, NJ — Three new leases have been signed at Bell Works in Holmdel: A dentist's office, an upscale gift shop/boutique and a branch of OceanFirst Bank.

While exact opening dates have not been revealed yet, they will all be opening sometime in the next coming months. The new tenants were announced Monday, May 21 by Somerset Development, the owner and developer of Bell Works. The three new retail tenants are:

· City Barn/Country Penthouse: A boutique offering home, bed, bath and other gift items, in addition to interior design consultation services.

· Dimension Dental: A premier dental support organization with a network of locations throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

· OceanFirst Bank: A community bank offering commercial and residential financing solutions, wealth management, and deposit services. OceanFirst is the largest and oldest community-based financial institution headquartered in Ocean County.

Bell Works, formerly the historic Bell Labs research facility, is continuing to transform itself into a "metroburb" in the middle of Holmdel suburbia and countryside. The Holmdel Twp. Library now operates on site, as does the Holmdel Montessori School, open to children from six weeks to kindergarten. The Holmdel Planning Board recently gave the OK to construct a 200-room hotel on the roof of Bell Works. Earlier in 2017, Bell Works also unveiled its new rooftop deck and lounge, allowing tenants and visitors to enjoy lunch or coffee break overlooking Bell Works’ pristine, scenic grounds.

Guradian Life Insurance, a NYC-based insurance giant, runs its technology enterprise out of Bell Works. An anchor tenant is iCIMS, along with International Flavors & Fragrances, Acacia Communications, Jersey Central Power and Light and MetTel, a New York City-based telecommunications firm.
