Bleakley Financial Group: Fostering Innovation

Bleakley Financial Group’s new US headquarters in Parsippany could be called the perfect modern office space. Developed specifically for this multi-billion-dollar financial planning and advisory firm by Kimmerle Group (KG) architects and built by DiSousa Contracting Consulting, the 26,000-square-foot location at 300 Kimball Drive includes not only breakout areas for creative meetings and private spaces for focused work, but high-tech meeting rooms equipped for virtual collaboration at a time when many people work remotely.

Bleakley Financial, which has a total of 16 locations across 12 states, wanted the new base of operations to enhance its business culture and brand image by providing an inviting atmosphere for clients/visitors while fostering innovation and teamwork. The $1.8 million space, which opened just before Christmas, is a combination of open plan and upscale client meeting areas built to fit the financial advisory firm’s needs. 

Sustainability was also top of mind for KG, which repurposed and integrated existing useable materials and infrastructure into the project for a “connection with nature” feel. The architects gave the space a decidedly modern feel with glass panel office fronts that allow natural light into the open space and maintain sound-proofing qualities throughout.

Overall, the new headquarters fits right into the thriving Parsippany business community and has been benefiting the local area in terms of workforce – more than 200 construction jobs were created during the building process. Today, there are 165 full-time employees.
