Revlon has plans to relocate its New Jersey-based science and innovation (R&D) lab to the Northeast Science and Technology (NEST) Center, a 100+ acre campus for research and development innovations. 
 
Revlon’s research labs, pilot manufacturing, and office functions will be housed within a 62,000-square-foot space within the 1.2M SF building known as 15 NEST. 
 
Until recently, the building served as Merck’s global research headquarters. Revlon will be the first tenant to occupy 15 NEST since Merck’s departure earlier this year.
 
Lise Jorgensen, Revlon’s Chief Scientific Officer, said,
 
“Revlon selected NEST for its existing lab infrastructure, which will help us further amplify our innovation capabilities, and provide a state-of-the-art setting to meet our specific R&D needs. This substantial investment in our R&D capabilities marks a critical and exciting step in Revlon’s future and reinforces our commitment to develop the most advanced consumer-inspired products for our brands around the world.”
 
Revlon’s decision to join NEST comes on the heels of CoreWeave’s plans to lease 280,000 square feet of space on the campus.
 
Both Revlon and CoreWeave cited NEST as an ideal location and best-in-class lab and utility infrastructure as part of their selection criteria.
 
Matthew Flath, Onyx Equities’ Senior Vice President Asset Management, who oversees the NEST campus, commented, 
 
“Revlon’s decision to join NEST is an exciting step towards our vision of a dynamic, collaborative, innovation ecosystem. With their decades-long legacy in beauty and personal care, Revlon complements the forward-thinking research environment at NEST and is helping to establish a community where leading science and technology companies unite to innovate, thrive, and elevate industry standards.”
