Branchburg Commerce Park opened the Branchburg Office Center after a two-year restoration of the historic Van Doren Manor House on the Raritan River at Neshanic Station.
The "Office in the Park" will offer executive suites in a Colonial country manor alternative to the usual high rise shared by office space. Period furnishings, classical oil paintings, original architectural details, marble fireplaces, pumpkin pine floors, crystal chandeliers, Oriental carpets.

Saturday, a reception and ribbon cutting ceremony featuring the unveiling of a historic mural, painstakingly recreated from the original 1760s hand painted paper installed in the Powel Room in the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum was held. In furnishing the Powel rooms, which were removed from 244 South Third Street in Philadelphia, the curators were striving, "to create surroundings worthy of such luminaries as George Washington, who was a frequent visitor."
The Van Doren Manor House, which dates from the early 1700s with period additions into the 1820s, was built on the Dobie Plantation, tracing back to the purchase by John Dobie in 1685 from the Proprietors of East Jersey who had received rights from King George 1st. A pre-Revolutionary cemetery exists within the grounds, which holds the remains of many soldiers and officers who fought in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
This event commemorates the completion of the initial phase of the rehabilitation of an abandoned heavy industrial site, which suffered until recently from significant environmental contamination, as well as the ravages of Hurricane Floyd. As the second phase of the rehabilitation proceeds, the last vestiges of heavy industry have been removed. The site is once again environmentally pure, and the 110,000 square feet of buildings are being renovated and adapted to a less intense, neighborhood friendly complex.
Progress is well underway in this new direction subsequent to the recent passage of a Branchburg Township Zoning resolution. Several high technology tenants are in place and preparations to provide incubator space, laboratory space, prototype shop space, warehouse space, manufacturing/assembly facilities, artisan/craftsman shops, and service business facilities are near completion. It is anticipated that the newly renovated complex will appeal particularly to tenants in high technology and medical/pharmaceutical fields seeking a campus setting.
