JT Magen delivers 178,000 s/f Global Headquarters for Lord, Abbett & Co.

HLW was the architect and AMA Group served as MEP engineer

Jersey City, NJ — JT Magen announced the completion of a new global headquarters space for Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC , a privately-held investment management firm, at 30 Hudson St. in Jersey City.

JT Magen served as construction manager for the project, which spans 178,107 s/f across five floors, overseeing all aspects from budgeting and scheduling, procurement of materials, managing subcontractors and conducting the final handover upon completion. HLW served as architect and interior designer, while AMA Group was the project’s MEP engineer.

Lord, Abbett & Co. relocated from 90 Hudson St., where it kept roughly 239,000 s/f across five floors for more than two decades. The firm was looking for a right-sized space that could offer employees more natural light, enhanced collaboration and amenity spaces, and areas for socializing. The firm also required elegant venues for hosting clients as well as meetings of senior leadership. Lord Abbett & Co. has additional offices in London & Dublin.

The new environment features a variety of areas for work and colleague interaction. Included in the multi-level space are executive offices and open work areas, multipurpose conference rooms, a production studio for podcasts, videos, webinars and other digital content creation, and an auditorium, as well as a game room, fitness lounge and training rooms. The Exchange, a double-height space on the 40th floor, acts as the main amenity space and features a commercial cooking kitchen, event areas, audio/visual booth, and a café with a barista bar and grab & go options. A feature staircase clad in stone sits on the northeast corner and connects the upper three floors. The space also features millwork paneling throughout and a series of unique wallcoverings.
