Inspired by Somerset Development, the visionary team behind the highly successful Bell Works projects in Holmdel, NJ, and Chicagoland, is set to bring a new era of innovation and community engagement to Tinton Falls, NJ, with the launch of Bell Works Fort Monmouth. 

Located at the former Commvault headquarters, this latest addition to the Bell Works family promises to be a vibrant hub for work, play, and community connection, embodying the unique Metroburb model that blends the best of urban vibrancy with suburban convenience.

A Strategic Expansion of the Bell Works Vision

Inspired by the tremendous success of Bell Works New Jersey and Bell Works Chicagoland, Inspired by Somerset Development has strategically chosen the Commvault headquarters in Tinton Falls as the site for its next venture. The property, spanning 276,900 square feet, was originally constructed in 2014 and boasts modern amenities such as open-concept workspaces, conference rooms, a fitness center, a cafeteria, outdoor spaces, walking paths, and recreational areas.

In keeping with the Bell Works philosophy, the new development will introduce a flexible office model combined with community-centric public spaces. This innovative approach will transform the previously private corporate space into a bustling hub for professionals, residents, and visitors alike, fostering an environment of creativity, productivity, and community engagement.

What to Expect at Bell Works Fort Monmouth

Bell Works Fort Monmouth is poised to offer an array of exciting features designed to inspire collaboration and enhance the work-life experience:

• Ready-To-Wear Office Suites: Fully functional office suites tailored for both short- and long-term leases, catering to businesses of all sizes.
• coLab Collaborative Workspace: A membership-based coworking space that encourages networking and productivity. Sean Donohue, Managing Director of coLab, says, “Spaces of this caliber are often few and far between, especially in more suburban areas.”
• Diverse Retail and Dining Options: Featuring local restaurants, a Bell Market, a coffee shop, and various retail spaces, Bell Works Fort Monmouth will cater to diverse tastes and shopping preferences.
• Health and Wellness Amenities: The complex will include a health club, encouraging a balanced lifestyle for tenants and visitors.
• Community-Centric Public Spaces: True to the Metroburb ethos, the space will feature community-driven areas, fostering a vibrant social environment.

Inspired by Somerset Development envisions the complex as a central hub for work, play, and community connection, much like its predecessor in Holmdel, which boasts a 98% occupancy rate as of 2025. The flexible office model and rich amenity offerings are designed to attract local companies, entrepreneurs, and community members, promoting economic growth and cultural vibrancy in Tinton Falls.

Preserving the Legacy, Embracing the Future

One of the key aspects of this redevelopment is maintaining the integrity of the Commvault building’s original design while introducing modern amenities and public access. The building’s advanced infrastructure, including its innovative workspaces and recreational areas, will be preserved, reflecting the architectural vision that initially supported Commvault’s growth. As Ralph Zucker, President of Inspired by Somerset Development, stated:

“The design of Commvault’s headquarters is a perfect fit for the vision and ethos of the Metroburb model we have developed at our highly successful Bell Works New Jersey and Bell Works Chicagoland properties” (Two River Times).

This redevelopment not only pays homage to the site’s history but also embraces a future-forward approach that aligns with the evolving needs of modern professionals and communities.

A Community-Driven Approach to Development

One of the standout features of Bell Works Fort Monmouth is its commitment to creating a community-centric environment. Inspired by Somerset Development is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and connectivity, transforming the space into more than just a workplace.

According to Charles Terefenko, Tinton Falls Borough Administrator:

“The Commvault headquarters is a landmark in Monmouth County, having played a significant role in our region’s business landscape. We are excited to see this iconic property retain its original purpose as a hub for innovation, now under the stewardship of Inspired by Somerset Development” (NJ Biz).

This community-driven approach is at the heart of the Bell Works Metroburb model, which has successfully blended professional, social, and recreational spaces into a cohesive and dynamic ecosystem.

Driving Economic Growth and Local Engagement

Bell Works Fort Monmouth is set to play a pivotal role in the economic growth and cultural development of Tinton Falls and surrounding areas. By attracting a mix of local businesses, retailers, and restaurants, the development is expected to create new job opportunities and stimulate economic activity. Moreover, the public access areas and community events will enhance social engagement, creating a vibrant and inclusive environment for all.

The strategic location of Bell Works Fort Monmouth, near major transportation routes and within the revitalized Fort Monmouth property, positions it as a prime destination for businesses and community members. Its proximity to other high-profile developments, such as the planned Netflix Studios at Fort Monmouth, further underscores its potential as a thriving center for innovation and lifestyle.

Opening Soon: Join the Next Metroburb Experience

Excitement is building as Bell Works Fort Monmouth prepares to open its doors to the public and new tenants in Fall 2025. Renovations are already underway, and leasing for both office and retail spaces has commenced.
