The old Bell Labs building is, finally, under a revitalization and reuse of the workspace called Bell Works (http://bell.works/neighborhood/). Based on job listings it seems NVIDIA's AI/Autonomous driving is happening there. As someone who lives close by, but commutes to NYC, I can only hope to see more big name companies move in.

As for Fort Monmouth, pretty much all the offices were moved to Aberdeen as part of the last BRAC. As you stated there was a lot of work being done there related to communications & intelligence (I believe a lot of GPS work was out of there). It was a real hit to the local community when it shut down since it happened in the middle of the housing crisis. A lot of families were forced to short sale or do long commutes. The space is finally up purchase, but sadly it will be getting used to build more condos & a shopping center. There were rumors of Monmouth University and Rutgers wanting to get access to the space but were declined.

But it'll be called Freedom Pointe now, so it has to be good: http://www.njbiz.com/article/20170606/NJBIZ01/170609904/para...
It looks like a low-end flea market. The strings of bare lightbulbs are too much.
