Ralph Lauren Coming To Ex-Roche Site In Nutley; 225 Jobs Expected

NUTLEY, NJ — Ralph Lauren is coming to Nutley. That’s the word from real estate developers, who recently reported that the corporation has signed a lease for a building at ON3, the former Hoffmann-La Roche campus in Clifton and Nutley.

A representative with Prism Capital Partners, the developers of ON3, announced the new lease during the board’s Tuesday meeting. Ralph Lauren is expected to bring 225 jobs to Nutley and will operate from a 225,000 square foot space at an existing building, TAP Into Nutley reported.

The company will receive a 10-year, $33.1 million award from the Grow New Jersey program to locate the facility in Nutley, TAP Into stated.

Ralph Lauren is expected to occupy the space in late 2019 or early 2020, News12 reported.

Other tenants at ON3 include Seton Hall University and Hackensack-Meridian Health System, which formed a partnership and signed a long-term lease agreement in 2016 for a new health and medical sciences campus consisting of 16 acres and two “state-of-the-art buildings.”

In addition, Modern Meadow – a biotech company that produces "animal-free leather" from living cells – recently received up to $32 million in Grow NJ tax credits for relocating its office to the former Roche site. The company acquired $53.5 million in funding and plans to add 200 employees by 2020, spokespeople previously said.
