EDISON, N.J., Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, has signed a 10-year, 137,076-square-foot lease extension at Harborside Financial Center in Jersey City.

The lease, which would have expired in 2019, now carries a 2029 expiration, and is for space at Harborside Plaza 3, a 725,600-square-foot class A office building. Harborside Financial Center is a mixed-use, waterfront complex consisting of 3.1 million square feet of class A office space, hotel, and retail, and land to develop an additional 3.6 million square feet of office space. The complex is currently 97.7 percent leased. The tenant was represented in the transaction by Fred Smith and Curtis Foster of Cushman & Wakefield.

Mitchell E. Hersh, president and chief executive officer of Mack-Cali, commented, "We're delighted that BTMU has decided to extend their lease at Harborside Financial Center. We believe that our long-standing relationship, along with the fact that Harborside is the premier office complex on the Jersey City waterfront, facilitated the decision to make a significant space commitment well in advance of the bank's lease expiration."
