UNA moves its Home Office

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - The Ukrainian National Association is moving into a new Home Office in Parsippany, N.J., located some 30 miles west of its current headquarters in Jersey City.

The UNA's move is scheduled for Friday, October 10, through the weekend, and operations will formally begin at the new site on Monday, October 13. The building was purchased for $4,931,250; the closing was held on August 28.

The UNA's new address is 2200 Route 10, P.O. Box 280, Parsippany, NJ 07054; telephone, (973) 292-9800; fax, (973) 292-0900. (Additional fax numbers for the UNA's newspapers will be announced at a later date.)

The new UNA headquarters is a 10-year-old, two-story building comprising 65,750 square feet of office space. The UNA and its subsidiary operations will occupy the second floor of the building, while the first floor will be rental space.

Formerly known as Executive 10, the building is located in Morris County on Route 10 westbound, just past the Route 10-Route 202 intersection and near routes 287 and 80. Nearby are St. John Ukrainian Catholic Church and the Self Reliance (N.J.) Federal Credit Union, both situated on Route 10 in Whippany, several miles east of the UNA's new home on that same suburban highway. Also in the vicinity is the Ramada Hotel of East Hanover, where many Ukrainian community functions are held.

The new building will house the UNA's insurance operations as well as the editorial and administrative offices of its two newspaper the Ukrainian-language daily Svoboda and The Ukrainian Weekly. Although typesetting and layout operations will be moved to Parsippany, the Svoboda Press print shop will continue to operate at the previous headquarters building at 30 Montgomery St. in Jersey City.

As previously reported, the UNA's Jersey City headquarters building was sold on August 14 by the Ukrainian National Urban Renewal Corp. to Montgomery Associates for $21.2 million.

The purchase and sale of the UNA headquarters buildings was approved by the special committee established by the UNA General Assembly, whose members are: the five members of the UNURC board of directors, Ulana Diachuk, Martha Lysko, Alexander Blahitka, Alexander Serafyn and Walter Korchynsky; auditors William Pastuszek and Anatole Doroshenko; and Honorary Member of the General Assembly John O. Flis.
