EDISON, N.J., July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) has signed a new 11-year lease for 114,798 square feet at the Company's Harborside Plaza 5 in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Moving within the Jersey City Waterfront market, BBH will transfer over 500 employees to their new location. Harborside Plaza 5 is a 977,225-square-foot, class A office tower located in the heart of Jersey City. The building features landscaped outdoor seating areas, restaurants, and breathtaking, panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. This premier asset is currently 99 percent leased.

Harborside, a highly successful waterfront complex, is being transformed into a next generation, interconnected, 24/7 mixed-use destination.
