Cushman & Wakefield announced that Supresta U.S.L.L.C., the world's largest maker of flame-retardant chemicals, has signed a long-term lease for approximately 35,000 s/f at Ardsley Park Science & Tech Center in Ardsley, NY.

Located off the Saw Mill River Parkway in Ardsley, Ardsley Science & Tech Center is known for its ability to cost effectively accommodate a variety of needs for both large and small research and development laboratory and office users. The park offers numerous amenities including a newly renovated full service cafeteria with indoor/outdoor seating, a fitness center, conferencing facilities, and on site storage.

Supresta's space will consist of a single office floor at 420 Saw Mill River Road and a single lab floor at 430 Saw Mill River Road. The multi-building office park is comprised of more than 450,000 sf of laboratory and office space. Supresta will relocate approximately 50 employees from Chicago.

"We're thrilled to have signed Supresta as one of our first major tenants since we've begun our new capital upgrades program at Ardsley Park Science & Tech Center. Because of their combined office and lab requirement, Ardsley Park meets Supresta's current and future infrastructure, telecommunication and expansion needs, and provides many amenities that are important to their employees", said David Fiore, of The Davis Companies on behalf of Millsaw Realty, L.P., the property's owner.

Maureen O'Boyle, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield, represented Supresta in the transaction negotiations. Cushman & Wakefield's Glenn Walsh, senior director, Tom Giannone, senior director, and Lawrence A. Ruggieri, associate, represented Millsaw Realty, L.P. The Cushman & Wakefield Ardsley Park Science & Tech Center leasing team last year launched a targeted marketing program designed to reach out to tenancies of all sizes with office/lab needs, following ownership's launch of a multi-million dollar property upgrade. "This location was an obvious target for Supresta," said Ms. O'Boyle. "The company was able to take full advantage of Ardsley Park Science & Tech Center's aggressive, market rental rates, as well as the excellent layout and multimillion dollar upgrades."

Currently, there are approximately 125,000 sf of prime office and laboratory space immediately available for lease at Ardsley Science & Tech Center.
