Getinge R Us: Company Agrees To Lease For Geoffrey Way Offices

WAYNE, NJ — The former Toys R Us headquarters in Wayne has a new occupant. Getinge US announced via a news release on May 26 that the company reached a lease agreement for the 1 Geoffrey Way facility, and will utilize it as a sales and service unit.

Getinge, a supplier of products and solutions to hospitals and lifescience institutions, said the move is part of a consolidation of the company's three New Jersey facilities in Wayne, Mahwah and Fairfield.

The consolidation seeks to move Getinge's 1,100 employees into two primary locations in Wayne and Mahwah, including 200 employees expected to move to the Geoffrey Way facility, according to the release.

“We have a long history in New Jersey and this investment solidifies Getinge’s strong commitment to New Jersey and supports leadership training and knowledge sharing with our customers,” said Getinge North America President Eric Honroth.

According to an email from Marketing Communications Specialist Kim Perrotta, the company will be leasing roughly 44,000 square feet at the facility, and are targeting the end of July as a potential move-in date.

The 191-acre campus was sold in March 2019 for $19 million, much less than its $94 million market value.

Home to Toys R Us headquarters for 16 years prior to the company's 2018 bankruptcy filing, the 621,000-square-foot office building overlooks the Point View Reservoir.

According to the Getinge news release, the company has plans to modernize the facility.

"The multi-million USD investment will create a modern, state of the art work environment for our existing and future co-workers. Customers are at the core of everything we do, and our new facility will allow our customers to experience our offerings and collaborate with us to help save more lives," said Honroth.
