What We Do

Real Estate Leasing

Facilities Planning & Construction provides Real Estate and Leasing Management Services to the University community statewide. The Manager of Real Estate assists the University in the market search and negotiation of space in off-campus leased facilities.

Schools/units may request assistance in leasing off-campus space by submitting a formal Request for Lease Space memorandum to the Acting Department Head. The memorandum should provide the name of the school/unit departments, the desired area and/or location, the approximate square footage, the usages, the time frame needed and the funding source for the lease.

Once the request is approved, the Manager of Real Estate will assist the school/ unit with an evaluation of available properties. After a suitable site is found, FP&C will work with the Office of Legal Management and Risk & Claims Management to negotiate the lease of the property. The lease agreement will be reviewed and approved by appropriate UMDNJ personnel. The requestor is responsible for notifying FP&C of the departmental assignments so that FP&C may Update the University Space Database.

The Manager of Real Estate maintains a database of all University leases. This database tracks the occupant, address of leased properties, square footage, usage, lease and renewal terms, expiration and rental dates. Before submitting your memorandum, please review the Leasing of Facilities Policy. 00-01-70- 35:00.
