MCC BLUE, developed in 1984 by SJP Properties, consists of four buildings, and P3 Properties bought the complex in December 2017. The property is now 90 percent leased, up from 62 percent six months ago.

Teva received a 10-year, $40 million tax savings incentive from the state of New Jersey to move its headquarters from Pennsylvania to Parsippany-Troy Hills Township.

P3, headquartered in Livingston, owns and manages a total of 2.3 million square feet of real estate in New Jersey.
