Was this office just built in the middle of nowhere? Where do people go for lunch? I’m not an expert on commercial buildings but it always seemed like immediate proximity to food, public transport, and other businesses is one of the most important factors of an office.

Holmdel itself didn’t have any real commercial areas, nearby Hazlet did. NJ transit trains were near-ish, but not close enough to walk.

Went there in the middle of winter, snowing, rental car company gave me an upgrade, some form of caddy land whale that was definitely now snow worthy - was a scary trip
