The Waterfront Technology Center at Camden is the
latest in the continuing development of the Waterfront Technology Campus
and a prime example of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's
(EDA’s) efforts to provide first-class, state-of-the-art facilities for
growing technology companies. The 100,000-square-foot facility has been
designed exclusively to accommodate the work of established businesses
and startups in the biosciences, microelectronics, advanced materials,
information technology and other high-tech and life sciences fields.
A Great New Facility with All the Amenities
The five-story, contemporary glass and metal building offers affordable
production, laboratory and office space that can be customized in flexible
unit sizes and configurations to handle individual operating requirements
and special needs of tenants.
The Waterfront Technology Center at Camden is fully equipped with all
the amenities that technology companies need. These amenities include:
- Redundant high-power electrical service, broadband access and other
specialized equipment and services to support information technology
- The capability for storing critical-asset computer, laboratory and
telecommunications equipment
- Energy-efficient green building technologies that help keep costs
down and provide a sustainable facility
An Ideal Location and Talented Labor Pool
Situated along Camden’s burgeoning waterfront – a gateway to the long
technology corridor that runs through New Jersey – and in proximity to
other technology companies, universities and research centers, the Waterfront
Technology Center offers an ideal location convenient to a pool of talented
people and important local and regional resources.
The Waterfront Technology Center is located within Camden’s Innovation
Zone, a geographically defined area established to spur collaboration
among the state’s public research institutions, medical research facilities
and technology businesses to encourage the more rapid transfer of discoveries
from the laboratory to the marketplace. Several EDA technology financing
and incentive programs have been enhanced to offer added benefits to companies
locating within Innovation Zones.
Waterfront Technology Center neighbors include L-3 Communications Corporation,
a major supplier to the U.S. government and private industry of secure
communications systems, and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research,
an independent, not-for-profit research organization dedicated to understanding
human genetic diseases. Southern New Jersey campuses of Rutgers University
and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey are also located
nearby.
Located near the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295, the facility
is easily accessible by auto and public transportation from any direction
and features ample parking for those who drive.
We Help Make Your Business Work
The Waterfront Technology Center at Camden offers flexible unit sizes
starting at 5,000 square feet and a highly competitive lease rate. Incentives
also fit-out allowances for any facility improvements that tenants make
and New Jersey Sales Tax exemptions on any purchases of construction materials
and equipment.
The EDA works closely on fit-out, which helps to control design and construction
costs, and provides property and management services that allows tenants
to concentrate on their business.
Additionally, the EDA provides an array of important financing resources,
many tailored specifically for technology companies, from low-interest
loans and loan guarantees to tax incentives and creative financing packages
that can give tenants access to capital and bridge funding gaps while
improving their strategic advantage.
