36 Bergen Street offers a compelling office investment opportunity in the heart of Downtown Hackensack, the seat of Bergen County government. This fully renovated, two-story professional office building will be delivered vacant, providing prospective purchasers the flexibility to occupy the property outright or capitalize on lease-up potential at prevailing market rents.
The property comprises approximately 7,320 square feet across two stories, together with a full basement utilized for storage, situated on a 5,676 square foot lot. The ground floor was fully built out from shell condition between November 2022 and January 2023 and is presently move-in ready, featuring seven private offices, a conference room, a reception area, bathrooms, and a kitchenette. The second floor remains in open-concept condition, affording a purchaser complete latitude to design and construct additional office space, or pursue an alternative configuration, to suit their specific requirements.
The property is situated on Bergen Street between State Street and Main Street, immediately adjacent to the Bergen County Justice Center and Court Plaza, positioning it within an established civic and professional corridor with longstanding appeal to law firms, title companies, and other professional service users. Approximately 7,600 vehicles pass the site daily, providing strong visibility to employees, clients, and visitors. The location offers convenient regional access, situated within a ten-minute walk of NJ Transit's Essex Street Station and offering direct connectivity to Interstate 80, Route 4, Route 17, and the Garden State Parkway, approximately twelve miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan.
Downtown Hackensack continues to benefit from sustained redevelopment activity. Since the adoption of the Downtown Rehabilitation Plan for the Main Street Area in 2012, the district has attracted approximately 4,000 additional residential units, including recent and ongoing developments such as The Brick (379 units), Ora (270 units), Print House (approximately 695 units), One Essex Street (250 units), and the $103 million redevelopment of the former YMCA at 360 Main Street (254 units and a 6,000 square-foot public plaza). These residential investments, together with municipal improvements including the restoration of two-way traffic on Main Street and enhanced streetscaping, reinforce Downtown Hackensack's position as an established, walkable commercial district. The submarket is further anchored by Hackensack University Medical Center, an 803-bed teaching and research hospital, and supported by an employment base of approximately 41,870 jobs across more than 31,800 employer establishments.
