EDISON, N.J., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that it will develop a 203,000-square-foot class A office building for Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), enabling the hospitality company to consolidate its Parsippany, NJ-based workforce within a single campus.

The new building will be constructed adjacent to the 250,000-square-foot Wyndham Worldwide corporate headquarters at 22 Sylvan Way in the Mack-Cali Business Campus. Upon completion, the two buildings will provide a single, cohesive location for the thousands of associates based in Parsippany, and bring the total square feet leased in the Campus to 453,000, an increase of 14 percent.

The existing class A office building at 22 Sylvan was completed in 2009 by Mack-Cali during phase one of the campus project for Wyndham Worldwide. As part of phase two, the Company has pre-leased the new building for 15 years and three months, with both phases now having a coterminus lease.

Mack-Cali president and chief executive officer Mitchell E. Hersh, commented, "When we acquired the Campus in 1998, we were attracted to its existing premier buildings and exceptional tenants. The property also offered additional attractive development sites to accommodate the growth needs of first-class companies in this barrier constrained market. We're pleased that we are able to extend our strong relationship with Wyndham Worldwide in the Campus."

While specifics are still to be determined, the new building is anticipated to increase efficiencies, and support the culture and core values of Wyndham Worldwide, which include a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental practices. The Wyndham Worldwide corporate headquarters at 22 Sylvan Way has received numerous recognitions, including earning the prestigious silver LEED certification for Corporate Interiors by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The three-story granite and glass building is expected to be completed in first quarter 2013 and ready for occupancy by late third quarter 2013. The architect on the core and shell portion of the project is HLW International.
