Right to Convert and Withdraw Real Estate Extended Under Permit Extension Act

aplin Stewart continues to be at the forefront of obtaining time extensions of development related approvals under Pennsylvania’s Permit Extension Act. On July 19, 2012, in a case of first impression, Judge Stephen P. Linebaugh, the President Judge of the York County Court of Common Pleas, dismissed a quiet title action in Logan Greens Community Association, Inc. v. Church Reserve, LLC (York CCP Case No. 2011-SU-794-93) wherein the Logan Greens Community Association sought to force developer-declarant Church Reserve, LLC (“Church Reserve”) to turn over real estate that Church Reserve had not withdrawn from the planned community within the initial seven (7) years provided for under the declaration. In defense, Church Reserve asserted that the time to withdraw real estate from the planned community was extended until January 30, 2015 under the Permit Extension

Act (Act 46 of 2010). Church Reserve’s withdrawal period under the declaration had expired on July 30, 2010. Church Reserve argued that the Permit Extension Act tolled the running of the withdrawal period as of December 31, 2008 and that the withdrawal period did not run again until July 2, 2013 after the Extension Period under the Permit Extension Act expired. In its Opinion, the Court agreed that Church Reserve’s withdrawal period had been extended until January 30, 2015 by holding that the Permit Extension Act applied and tolled the running of the withdrawal period. To support its decision,

the Court adopted the holding from In re: Appeal of Keystone Custom Homes, Inc. and Fox Clearing, LLC (Lancaster CCP Case No. CI-10-03933, October 22, 2010), which was another Permit Extension Act case that Kaplin Stewart successfully litigated. The net effect of Judge Linebaugh’s decision in Logan Greens is that a developerdeclarant now has additional time in which to convert or withdraw real estate. In addition, with the recent enactment of Act 87 of 2012 further extending the Extension Period under the Permit Extension Act until July 1, 2016, the time continued on page 3A

Whitestone REIT adopts Yardi CRM as its management sys.

ANTA BARBARA, CA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Whitestone REIT has selected Yardi CRM as its end-toend customer relationship management system. Whitestone REIT recently undertook a b u s i n e s s Terri Dowen initiative to transfer the process of tracking its leasing prospects pipeline to Yardi Voyager, Whitestone REITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property management and accounting system since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted an easily navigable system that integrates

with our existing Yardi operational database, and is accessible to our Whitestone associates via the Internet to better service our tenants,â&#x20AC;? said Theodore Zeck, vice president of technology and security for Whitestone REIT. Yardi CRM is built in as part of the Yardi Voyager platform, and it interfaces with Microsoft Outlook. Making the customer relationship system part of Yardi Voyager gives Whitestone REIT a single view of customers and contacts in a common global database. The system provides real-time tracking of leads, qualified prospective clients and their requirements and other information such as rent

roll and vacancy openings. Then Yardi Voyager automatically converts the prospect record to a tenant record when a lease is executed, without reentry of data. Emails can automatically upload to Yardi Voyager, saving additional time by eliminating multiple logins and data entry and offering a clear view of the pipeline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yardi CRM will help Whitestone REIT achieve its primary business objective of increasing shareholder value by delivering greater efficiency and streamlining business practices,â&#x20AC;? said Terri Dowen, senior vice president of sales for Yardi. n

timately fell to two sons. Given their respective medical professions, neither of the children had the time nor the expertise to operate Brian Court at its full potential. Having grown up in and around Brian Court, the Goldstein brothers were initially reluctant to say goodbye to the property their father constructed and to the years of memories they had at the apartments. However, all things must come to an end, said Friedman. As for the Goldstein brothers, they embrace these changes as they turn the property over to another Brian; that is, Brian Friedman, president of Friedman Realty Group and guiding owner of Brian Court Associates, LP. n

Deerwood arranges over $16.5 million in financing for two shopping centers BRAINERD, MN — Deerwood Real Estate Capital, a mortgage brokerage and advisory firm, closed on an $8.5 million loan for a 240,000 s/f shopping mall located in Brainerd. The borrower acquired the property while it was 60% occupied and increased occupancy to 95%, raising the value of the property. Therefore, Deerwood was able to close a non-recourse, 10-year, fixed-rate loan that provided the borrower with

a significant return of equity. The loan was negotiated by Rafi Frankel, Abe Katz, and Mark Silbersher. Deerwood also secured an $8.12 million loan for a 200,000 s/f grocery-anchored shopping center in Western Pennsylvania. The 30-yearold center includes a local grocery store, as well as several national and local tenants. The borrower needed a nonrecourse loan of 75% of his purchase price; Deerwood suc-

cessfully closed the loan and fixed the rate for 10 years in the mid 4’s. Given Deerwood’s activity in the market, the borrower knew that he could count on Deerwood to get the most competitive deal. The firm was successful in closing the loan quickly and efficiently, with a very smooth process. David Rosenberg, Meyer Perlman and Adam Schenkman negotiated the terms of the loan. n

Multifamily Financing By Edward D. Brown, NorthMarq

Multifamily owners enjoy low rates and an abundance of capital

he historic low treasury rates that have been in place over the last couple of years have translated to a parallel contraction of nominal interest rates for commercial real estate mortgag- Edward D. Brown es. Nowhere is this low rate environment more evident than in the various segments of the apartment finance market. In addition to the low base treasury rates which establish the pricing for these loans (rates are typically established via a risk spread over benchmark term treasuries) there is also a flight by mortgage investors to the perceived safety of apartments as an asset class. The current strength of the overall apartment market is a result of the continued erosion of single family housing values since 2007/2008 and an increase in the pool of prospective renters. Negative perceptions of rental vs. homeownership have disappeared as mobility and affordability now drive a larger portion of the residential market and that trend points toward healthy increases in apartment rentals in most markets. The Northeast has participated in this rebound in apartment occupancy, rents per unit and sales price per unit that has created this overheated market for both investment and financing for quality multifamily rental communities. There are multiple viable capital sources that offer attractive options for apartment owners seeking financing for their properties. Below is an overview of the major capital sources for apartments and a brief discussion of the competitive advantages and factors involved in evaluating each potential source: Agency Financing The largest source of multifamily funding in the US is provided by the combination of the multifamily divisions of the Federal National Mortgage Association- FNMA (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage CorporationFHLMC (“Freddie Mac”).In 2011 these two agencies provided $44.7 billion or 64% of all apartment mortgages written in the US and they are ahead of that pace in 2012. Fannie and Freddie are quasi-governmental

agencies (provided implied not direct credit enhancement from the US government) who fund apartment loans primarily on terms from 5 to 10 years (can go to 30 years) with amortizations typically between 25 and 30 years. Loan proceeds under these programs can approach 80% for acquisition loans or no cash out refinances and 75% for cash out refinances. Pricing is established via spreads over the benchmark 5, 7 and 10 year treasuries and recent 10 year quotes have ranged as low as 3.62% for full leverage structures. Each program typically locks rate near the date of closing but there are options for early rate lock after significant underwriting requirements have been met. Agency loans are originated, underwritten and serviced through correspondent entities (FNMA Delegated Underwriter Servicer “DUS” or Freddie Mac Approved Seller Servicer) which may be affiliated with banks, life companies, investment banks or commercial mortgage bankers. These entities execute all facets of the loan process with close adherence to program guidelines and obtain final approval of the loan terms from the agency. The agencies also have programs for specialty rental real estate including Student Housing, Affordable Housing, Senior Housing and Manufactured Home Communities (Fannie Mae only). In general they offer superior rates, high leverage levels, supplemental funding options and interest only periods under certain underwriting scenarios. There is significant speculation regarding the future of these two agencies tied into the overall political discussions surrounding federal supported financing agencies. However for the present they remain the overwhelming preferred source of apartment financing and that should continue over the near term. The third government agency source providing capital to the multifamily market is the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Unlike Fannie and Freddie, FHA is a true government agency funded and operated by the US Government. It provides permanent financing for market rate and affordable housing through a series of different programs and also provides construc-

tion/ permanent loans for the development of apartment communities. FHA also has historic low rate structures and can provide more leverage (83% refinance and up to 90% of construction costs) than Fannie and Freddie but its process is longer and involves significant upfront expenses including market studies and a variety of underwriting exhibits prior to approval. If the Borrower has the time and inclination to follow the process the resulting loans can be extremely attractive in terms of leverage, term and pricing. Life Insurance Companies The Life Insurance Companies have traditionally provided a meaningful portion of the financing for multifamily rental communities and the asset class is at the top of the list for these investors. Many Life Companies withdrew from the market or significantly lowered funding targets for all commercial real estate during the recent economic downturn as they struggled with above average delinquencies and defaulting loans in their portfolios. However they have re-emerged in the last two years to resume funding with a strong appetite. The Life Companies are most competitive on a rate basis for longer term executions (15 to 25 years) and can structure long term fully amortizing, fixed rate loans with competitive rates for conservative Borrowers in today’s market. Their rate structures tend to reward lower leverage Borrowers and they capture a significant share of this level of funding. The Life Companies also compete effectively because of the relative surety of execution that their process can deliver. As portfolio Lenders they offer more flexibility in negotiation of key loan terms, no funded reserves for replacements, a variety of prepayment options and strong servicing relationships either directly or through their local mortgage banking correspondents. They try and focus their apartment funding in primary markets with proven, experienced sponsorship and often develop multiple transaction relationships with those key sponsors. Many Life Companies are represented in local markets by mortgage banking firms who serves as their exclusive correspondents providing origination, underwriting and servicing for their

loans. Some of these investors tend to be most aggressive in the early part of the year as they seek to fill funding quotas through competitive pricing. Most always reserve some of their best pricing for well located, quality apartment loans because of their history of low loan loss and delinquencies. Commercial Banks Historically commercial banks provided the bulk of the loan dollars necessary to fund construction of new apartment communities and short term “mini permanent” loans after stabilization of the newly constructed units. However the recent economic downturn left many of the active construction Lenders with significant delinquency and default issues for new construction (primarily single family residential and land development) and virtually stopped all construction funding for a period while markets slowly recovered and loans were worked out. This created a shift in focus for the banks to the relative safety of income in place lending and like their fellow Lenders, apartment communities became the investment of choice. At first banks tended to be most competitive for shorter term fixed rate transactions (5 years) but as treasury rates continued to plummet we have seen banks now assume a highly competitive position for fixed rate term financing of apartments up to 10 years. They share some of the same competitive advantages as the life companies with flexibility of terms and negotiated conditions but also add the ability of the Borrower to interact directly with the individuals approving their loan. As treasuries have reached historic lows many of the life companies have enacted rate floors to protect against overly weighting the total return of their loan portfolios at historic low rates. The banks however have not employed floors and simply assign an underwritten credit risk spread over libor plus an interest rate swap for the corresponding fixed rate term. The all in costs for these executions in today’s market can compete effectively below many life company quotes and sometimes fairly close to the Agencies. The Banks have traditionally required some level of personal

recourse to the Borrower but will waive that requirement for strong, moderate leverage (70 to 75% LTV) apartment loans thus removing one of the major competitive advantages of the Agencies and Life Insurance Companies. As a result they are winning more of the competitive multifamily loan business than ever and as long as treasury rates stay low this trend should continue. This loan activity is consistent for many large national and regional commercial banks all the way down to down to local savings institutions, credit unions and community banks. A level of conservative apartment construction financing has also returned as a result of the demand created by years of relative inactivity in virtually all markets and the bank lenders view this product as an opportunity to secure future permanent financing for stabilized apartments. Mortgage Loan Conduits In the years from 2000 through early 2007 mortgage loan conduits became a major source of funding for all types of commercial real estate including multifamily communities. They tended to offer superior leverage and competitive pricing for a variety of properties and were more aggressive in evaluating loan and asset risk factors. As a result of this market stance the conduits experienced significantly higher levels of loan delinquencies and defaults than their competing sources during the economic downturn. This effectively shut down the securitized commercial mortgage market for an extended period of time and the remnants of that segment of the industry did not re-emerge until 2010. They resumed activity with a much more conservative approach and limited market appetite for the underlying bonds that fuel their funding. As the economy has slowly improved and markets stabilized the conduit community has regained some market viability and has been quoting and closing business for a couple of years. However the shadow of the older overleveraged product that is being worked out continues to create higher risk spreads in the market than their competitors. The conduits are also perceived to be subject to significant volatility in spreads and funding from continued on page 9A

This has particu- peza and Isaac Frankel larly impacted their competitiveness for acquisition loans since the sponsors are sensitive to potential loss of deposits in the event of a negative market event. All of these factors have relegated the conduits to quoting and funding transactions which fall outside the strike zone of their competitors. This was the original position of the conduits in their infancy in the late 90’s and it remains to be seen how they will recapture more market share, particularly for desirable apartment assets. In addition to the four major categories listed above there are a number of specialized lenders who provide funding for apartment properties including Lenders who focus on bridge or interim lending, acquisition lenders who accommodate value addition through moderate to substantial rehab, and mezzanine and preferred equity sources who fund the upper levels of the capital stack.

MULTIFAMILY FINANCING By Marc Tropp, Eastern Union Commercial

Multifamily sector stays strong

astern Union Commercial has a long history of multi-family financing, with the knowledge, relationships, and expertise to provide the high level of service for stabilized Marc Tropp and non-stabilized multi-family financing across the United States. On average, loan rates for multifamily properties are ranging from a low of 3.0 percent to a

high of 3.5 percent. We have successfully closed transactions with local banks and agencies on multi-family housing projects. Our brokers understand every deal, no matter how complicated and unique, in order to present them in the best light to the banks. As we often say, the devil is in the details. No two transactions are exactly alike. Understanding the nuanced points in a very real way often determines the level of success on each transaction. Having a broker that fully understands a deal down to its smallest

points allows them to work on out-of-the-box financing requests and provide individualized solutions to each client. We take this approach on every transaction, regardless of the size of the loan request. The multi-family market has really improved over the past 12 months. We are seeing very aggressive pricing, especially on shorter term notes. Both CMBS and Life Insurance groups have assertively come back into the market for high quality assets. Meanwhile, the overall lending community has been very aggressive putting

money out into the market. We don’t foresee this changing in the near future. Eastern Union Commercial does provide financing options for apartments, condominiums, and cooperatives. Over the past six months alone we have successfully closed 125 multi-family transactions -- excluding mixed use and commercial -- across the country. We are placing financing throughout the entire spectrum of multi-family assets, including stabilized properties, ground-up construction, and student housing, among

many others. Developers are taking advantage of the cheap money to develop, acquire, or refinance all types of residential living. The low rates will help offset future inflation and potential minor reductions in rental income in markets that today are being over-developed. The multi-family sector is the top lending preference for all lenders, whether community banks or life insurance companies. Baring a dramatic shift in world events, Eastern Union Commercial does not foresee any change in the multi-family sector for at least the next 12 months. The rental housing market will likely continue as the strongest real estate sector as long as unemployment rates remain high and single-family house sales remain at an all-time low. Banks will stay their current path and keep lending on multifamily properties at very low rates. Marc Tropp is managing director at Washington, DC/Metro Region’s Eastern Union Commercial. ■

The current commercial mortgage market

or more than a year, multifamily properties have continued to dominate the income property investment market. They are also dominating the commercial mortgage market. Marcus & Bruce Coin M i l l i c h a p ’s second quarter “Apartment Outlook” report confirmed, among others, that; • apartment demand was undeterred by the summer doldrums and slower hiring • second quarter vacancy measured 4.7% down 20 basis points from the first quarter and down 120 basis points from one year ago • effective rents grew 3.5% nationally measured on a year over year basis • sales volume totaled $24.9 billion representing a 38.6% year-over-year increase • cap rates have dropped 30 basis points to 6.2% Accordingly, abundant mortgage financing is available for apartment acquisitions, refinancing and new construction. Primary sources are banks, insurance companies, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA but not much from CMBS sources. Fannie and Freddie remain a critical component of the exiting property market especially for longer term, fixed rate, non-recourse loans. Through the second quarter Fannie had closed $13.8 billion and Freddie had closed $11.2 billion. For an existing well leased property with 90% occupancy (exceptions at 85%) 80% loan to value (LTV) mortgages can be obtained for 5, 7 or 10 year balloon terms with 25 to 30 year amortization. Due to their current 5 year floor rate, borrowers are basically using them for 7 to 10 year money. Rates are typically fixed at between 225 and 250 basis points over treasuries. As of August 1st, a 10 year fixed rate would be between 3.75 and 4.00%. Some interest only loans are available. A 1% placement/commitment fee is typical. Underwriting is based on a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 times with an overall “cap rate” of approximately 6% applied to underwritten annual net operating income after reserves. In high barrier to entry

markets a cap rate of less than 6% may be applied. Word on the street is that Fannie may move away from its yield maintenance prepayment formula to a stepped down percentage of loan amount. Insurance companies offer different terms that vary by institution. For a non-recourse loan on an existing property they basically also offer 5, 7 or 10 year balloon term loans but with emphasis on providing only 25 year amortization schedules, a 1.25 debt service coverage factor and 70% LTV ratios. Fixed for term rates

are typically based on a 2.50 to 3.25 basis point spread over treasuries. There are exceptions. Commercial banks, especially for amounts under $20 million, are major sources for both permanent and construction loans. “Permanent” loans with 3, 5 and atypically longer balloon terms are being closed on existing properties with fixed rates in the range of 3.25 to 4.65%. Most prefer staying at 70 to 75% LTV. For purchases, the upper limit is the lesser of 7075% LTV or 80% of acquisition

cost. Loans typically require a personal guarantee with nonrecourse occasionally available at 60% LTV or below. 30 year amortization schedules appear readily available. Debt service coverage ratios can be as low as 1.15 to 1.20. Banks appear to be accepting appraisals with “cap rates” in the range of 5.25 to 6.25%. For construction loans they are providing amounts as high as the lesser of 75% of as completed and leased value and 80% of total cost, excluding any builder’s profit. Floating rates are typically quoted at spreads

of between 2.50 and 3.50 basis points over LIBOR or as of August 1st, 2.75 to 3.75%. Fixed rates are available by purchasing a fixed rate swap contract. Most loans are for 24 months with either a series of one year extensions or a three year “mini-perm” being available. Fees are typically 3/4ths to 1%. Underwriting varies by institution but is typically based on applying a 6.25% “cap rate” to the projected underwritten net income upon completion and lease up and with a1.25 debt service coverage factor. continued on page 13A

has resulted in penalties in the range of 20% (or more) of the loan value. More importantly, we have seen an interesting dichotomy emerge in the lending market over the past several weeks between agency pricing and life company pricing for lower loan-to-value transactions. In the past, life companies were able to cherry-picking the business they wanted. But this isn’t necessarily the case any longer, namely because their rates are now subject to a floor - a rate at which they will not go below Over the course of the past year, life companies were assuring their policyholders 5.0% rates, but could only lend out at around 4.0%, making it difficult to pay their promised rates. This led to the implementation of a floor anywhere from 3.5% to 4.0%. In truth, life company rates are priced (in terms of spread) as well if not better than the agencies, but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not put in a floor, making them a much more attractive option at the moment. Treasury market fluctuations do affect final pricing with these two lenders. It will be interesting to see how the relationship between agency and life company lending plays out over the next few months. Interest rates will also continue to be carefully monitored. Can they go lower? Sure. But that is not necessarily a good thing. Change in the interest rate level is ultimately what drives the level of transactions. Also on the banking industry’s radar is how the LIBOR scandal progresses (or fizzles) in the coming weeks. The London inter-bank lending rate is considered to be one of the most crucial interest rates in finance. It underpins 40% to 50% worth of loans and financial contracts in New York City alone. Just who has a say in defining the replacement rate will be an important distinction in the coming weeks. Despite some definite economic question marks, lending continues to flourish and the current low interest rate environment has ultimately fostered increased refinance volume.

Multifamily Financing David Fisher and Scott Jackson originated the transaction for Meridian Capital Group

Beech Street closes $25 million Fannie Mae conventional loan for Philadelphia apartments

hiladelphia, PA — Beech Street Capital, LLC provided a $25 million Fannie Mae conventional loan to refinance Greenbriar Club Apartments, a 346-unit property. David Fisher and Scott Jackson originated the transaction for Meridian Capital Group, LLC, which was financed by Beech Street Capital as part of its correspondent relationship with Meridian. Given the managerial strength of the owners and successful operating history of the property, Beech Street was able to successfully structure the deal in spite of some challenges, including the existence of a ground lease. “We were able to deliver a highly attractive interest rate which will free up operating capital and boost cash flow for the borrower,” said Joel Willard, vice president of credit. Greenbriar Club Apartments is located in the Bala Cynwyd neighborhood of the City of Philadelphia, approximately six miles northwest of Center City. The property was constructed in 1971 and consists of nine inter-connected, brick, garden-style apartment buildings, a clubhouse/fitness center, and 15,987 square feet of retail space located on the first floor of one of the apartment buildings. The property has strong occupancy of over 96 percent on the residential units and over 92 percent of the retail space. The fixed-rate loan has a 10-year term with 9.5 years of yield maintenance. In a separate Philadelphia transaction, Beech Street Capital provided $13.5 million Fannie Mae conventional loans for the acquisition of a two-property portfolio. Israel Shubert originated the transaction for Meridian Capital Group.

Greenbriar Club Apartments

“This represents the borrower’s seventh and eighth transactions with Beech Street,” states vice president of credit, Joel Willard. “Our familiarity with the borrower, as well as the borrower’s extensive experience in the Philadelphia MSA, permitted for an extremely efficient and simplified process from application to close.” Beech Street recently secured financing for a $68 million portfolio in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The properties, Red Lion Manor and Cheswick Square, are located in Philadelphia

County with close proximity to the central business district, the Philadelphia International Airport and Philadelphia University. Red Lion Manor consists of 120 units in 11 buildings and Cheswick Square consists of 111 units in two buildings. Common amenities include on-site parking, laundry facilities, and secured entryway. The borrower plans to spend over $1.8 million for capital improvements of both properties. The fixed-rate loans have a 10-year term with a 2.5 interest-only period. n

With so much apartment activity in the market I thought it appropriate, as we head into the fall, to provide the foregoing as guidance.

FinAnciAl digest For a shopping center located at Routes 9 and 20 in Marlboro, NJ

Cronheim Mortgage arranges fi nancing for land acquisition and construction

ARLBORO, NJ — Cronheim Mortgage has arranged financing for the land acquisition and construction of a to be built shopping center located at the intersection of Routes 9 and 520 in Marlboro. The financing consists of an 18 month construction loan followed by a mini-permanent loan term of 5 years, with the rate fixed for the entire term. Dev Morris and Andrew Stewart arranged the facility for an affiliate of Glen Rock-based Pagano

Dev Morris

Andrew Stewart

Real Estate, Inc. The loan was placed with American National Insurance Company, for which Cronheim acts as correspondent and servicing agent. Cronheim’s affiliate, Channel Real Estate

Investors, provided additional financing capital. Construction has already commenced; the property is already over 60% pre-leased. The anchor tenants will include a Whole Foods supermarket, and a freestanding Walgreens drugstore. The development also includes the site’s existing freestanding PNC Bank, which will be expanding. From its location at the signalized intersection, Marlboro Commons will draw from an affluent market with an average

household income of more than $124,000. The site is situate d on the ‘going home’ side of Route 9, a major commuter and retail corridor in this New York City suburb. Over 62,000 cars pass the site daily on Route 9, with another 12,000 passing on Route 520. The site has particularly good visibility and access with multiple entry points to the center from Route 9, Robertsville Road and a de facto jug handle that is part of the site. According to Dev Morris, “This was an

exciting and rare opportunity for a new New Jersey retail property to be developed in a 100% location. We were not only able to not only make use of our portfolio lending relationships but also help continue to our successful track record as a source of capital for quality real estate projects. The developer has done an outstanding job in creating a viable project for both the town as well as retailers; we look forward to seeing this project through to its successful completion.” n

Eastern Union Comm’l. reports 1 0 % increase in Second Quarter NEW YORK, NY — Eastern Union Commercial experienced a 150 percent increase in loan closings in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the second quarter of 2011. The boutique mortgage brokerage also set a new corporate milestone by closing more than 100 transactions in the second quarter alone, the highest number of loans Eastern Union has ever closed within a single three-month period. Even at this accelerated pace of closings, Eastern Union’s pipeline of loans in process continues to grow and is outpacing the firm’s rate of closed transactions. With this level of activity, the firm is on track to post its highest-ever year-end totals. “Thanks to our investments in new personnel and in a stronger corporate infrastructure, Eastern Union is closing deals more efficiently and more rapidly than ever before,” said Ira Zlotowitz, President of Eastern Union Commercial. “As our next strategic initiative, we will be launching new, tailored divisions to meet the market’s diverse needs, further leveraging the outstanding relationships we have with key banks nationwide.” Zlotowitz also noted that Eastern Union’s increased production stems from their ability to consistently deliver market-low rates, and their strengthening relationships both with existing banks and new lenders that continue to enter the market. “Our reputation for best-in-class service has reached a point where our referral business is outpacing even what we had anticipated,” he said. n

These include matters under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), the Real Estate

Money is chasing this limited supply, so now is the ideal time for banks to dispose of these assets to take advantage of the strong demand.” Schultz adds that Helios, being a specialist in the Tri-State market, is uniquely positioned to advise the region’s buyers and sellers on note sales transactions due to the firm’s strong understanding of the local real estate market and conditions and established relationships. “This is the first loan sale BCB has done and they are happy with the outcome,” said Tony Georgiev, senior director for Helios Capital Advisors. “Because of our expertise, bank executives knew they could come to us for an efficient sales process and proper execution of this complex transaction.” n

COLUMBIA, MD — Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT), an office real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses primarily on serving the specialized requirements of U.S. Government and Defense Information Technology tenants, announced that, subsequent to June 30, 2012, it completed the disposition of 24 operating properties and the Fort Ritchie development for gross proceeds of approximately $179 million. The operating properties contained an aggregate of 1.5 million square feet and were 83.8% occupied (90 leases) at the time of sale. Year to date through July 24, 2012, COPT has sold a total of $317 million of properties and adjacent land containing approximately 2.3 million operational square feet and 162 leases that were 83.2% leased at the time of sale, realizing net proceeds of $253 million. Since announcing its Strategic Reallocation Plan (SRP) in April 2011, COPT has disposed of $394 million of properties containing approximately 3.2 million operational square feet and adjacent land, realizing net proceeds after closing adjustments and repayment of property-specific debt of approximately $323 million. These properties represent 31% of COPT’s total leases but only 15% of its consolidated

operating square feet that were in place at March 31, 2011 (the last reporting period before the SRP was announced). COPT recycled $49.6 million of the proceeds into the acquisition of a 202,000 s/f property located at 13857 McLearen Road, known as the McLearen Center in Herndon, Virginia. McLearen Center is a five story, Class-A building built in 2007 and is in close proximity to the large US Government controlled campus at Dulles Discovery. The building is 99% leased to a strategic tenant in the Defense Information Technology industry. “We are pleased with our ability to execute the disposition of non-strategic assets, and to recycle some of the proceeds into McLearen Center, a highly strategic property. We look forward to discussing details of these transactions on our second quarter conference call on July 26th,” said Roger Waesche, Jr., president and Chief Executive Officer. Silver Spring, MD — COPT sold 11800 Tech Rd. in Silver Spring, MD, for $21.3 million. Net proceeds after closing costs and the repayment of debt associated with the property were $5.3 million. The property contained approximately 228,200 s/f that were 82.5% leased at the time of sale to six tenants. The building was redeveloped in the late 1980s. n

Outside the Region Newark, NJ based company expands New York City

Treetop Development acquires 52-unit rental building

anhattan/Harlem, NY — Adam Mermelstein, principal of Treetop Development, has purchased a 52-unit rental building located at 165 West 127th St. The six-story building also features 6,000 s/f of second floor commercial space and 6,000 s/f of ground floor retail spaces. Treetop Development – which owns and self manages over 3,000 residential homes throughout New York and New Jersey -- plans to complete one of its “trademark” renovation programs at the building, Mermelstein points out. A mix of 30 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes are currently vacant and will be renovated. “The current housing market in New York City has allowed real estate developers and investors the opportunity to tap into new markets,” said Mermelstein. “As a result, traditional neighborhood lines are being expanded. We’re certainly seeing this in Upper Manhattan where neighborhoods from 100th Street and north have more of an Upper West Side feel with new investors and development

activity is raising the level of the neighborhood’s housing inventory. “Located on 127th Street and 7th Avenue with great access to subways and transportation, this building lies in a neighborhood that is dramatically improving with more retail, condos and high-end rentals popping up and is a great option for young professionals, families and students to lease a really nice apartment at an affordable price.” The purchase of 165 W. 127th Street comes on the

heels of the purchase of four properties in New York City located at 1917 7th Avenue, 110 St. Nicholas Avenue, 110 West 116th Street and 120 West 116th Street. The properties consist of over 80 apartment homes and eleven retail spaces totaling 10,000 s/f. These transactions are the first of several large portfoliotype deals Treetop Development is planning in New York City to significantly increase its presence throughout Manhattan in 2012, according to Mermelstein. n

FD Stonewater sells McAllen, Texas build-to-suit facility under long-term lease to Gsa Investor Grp. McAllen, TX — FD Stonewater has sold a recently-delivered, build-to-suit facility under long-term lease to the U.S. Government in McAllen, TX. The buyer of the 24,000 s/f U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility was a New York City-based investment group focused on buying Government assets with long term leases in place.

The facility, which houses ICE’s Office of Investigations at the U.S.-Mexico border, is under a 10 year lease to the Government. Claiborne Williams, FD Stonewater’s lead development principal, said “This is a great result for all parties. GSA and ICE have received a state-of-the-art facility to meet their long term needs. The buyer - a tremen-

dously experienced owner and operator of Government leased properties - has purchased an asset that will provide stable returns to their investors. And, FD Stonewater was able to successfully deliver this important building to the Government and also capitalize on the current market demand for quality investment opportunities.” n

Multi-family occupancies also continue to fortify city-wide. QUEENS, NY — Hudson has funded a $5.9 million

first-mortgage loan secured by a 50,040 s/f multi-family property with ground-floor retail along Woodhaven Blvd. The borrower will utilize the proceeds for a discounted firstmortgage payoff and to establish reserves to stabilize the property. The six adjoining circa 19251930 buildings feature a total of 42 apartment-rental units and 11,250 square feet of commercial space. Located in the heart of the Middle Village section of Queens, the two-story property will be renovated by the borrower, an experienced real estate owner and investor, who plans to lease up the vacant units in the next six to 12 months. Current occupancies are 83 percent and 20 percent, for the residential and commercial units, respectively. n

He will monitor new developments in lender needs and preferences, and work to ensure that Eastern Union clients are attracting the most favorable rates and terms available from lenders best suited for the particular borrower’s needs. “Eastern Union has attained an outstanding reputation in the real estate world for our unflagging commitment to provide clients with the best, customized loans and terms on every transaction,” said Ira Zlotowitz, president of Eastern Union Commercial. He added that Eastern Union’s success is due in large part to the company’s

wide-ranging lender relationships, rather than relying upon a limited group of select lenders. Eastern Union brokered loans with 31 different lenders over the last year alone. With the scope and depth of those relationships, Zlotowitz recognized the strategic advantage in creating a new executive officer position dedicated to serving as liaison between Eastern Union brokers and every lender with which they do business. “Jake Gluck will devote his time and attention to understanding how each lender operates, the details and nuance of how they structure their loans, and how their policies, decisions, and personnel change, no matter how small,” Zlotowitz said. “All of these factors can impact the final loan. Plus, new lenders are steadily arriving on the scene. As successful as we have been, Jake’s role positions us to provide clients with even better results.” n

In support of Philabundance

MGKF’s Fox wins Best Chef at “Cooking Up Justice”

h i l a d e l p h i a , PA — It’s no surprise that Robb Fox, a prominent environmental attorney, can often be found in Bala Cynwyd at Manko, Gold, Katcher & Fox, LLP, the environmental, energy and land use law and litigation firm he manages, but to many it is a surprise that he can also be found in the kitchen. For Fox, cooking is a passion and his culinary talent became very public on July 19, 2012, when he was named the “Best Chef” in the legal community. It was the third “Cooking Up Justice” Best Chef Competition, sponsored by the Legal Intelligencer to benefit Philabundance, and held at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia with 300 guests in attendance. In advance, members of the legal community submitted their recipes, which were included in the Cooking Up

FOX-TV’s Mike Jerrick and Robb Fox of MGKF Justice Cookbook. Then they brought their creations to life, and were judged by Judge Annette M. Rizzo, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, First Judicial District, Executive Chef and co-owner Jeff Michaud of Osteria and Amis Restaurants and Noah Mathay, executive chef of Philabundance and chef instructor at Philadelphia Community

Kitchen. Fox’s award-winning dish was Short Ribs Two Ways -- Asian marinated short ribs and barbecue ribs with crunchy Asian slaw and steamed Chinese buns. There were at least a dozen attorneys competing who were on a podium with their dishes on display in front of the crowd. The emcee of the evening was FOX-TV’s Mike Jerrick, co-host of “Good Day Philadelphia,” who escorted the judges to taste each dish for the competition. The participating “chefs” were a bit anxious and Fox was elated that his short ribs dish was the winning recipe. He said, “I really love to cook, and I was very honored to win, especially in support of Philabundance. Helping such an important cause, made me reflect on how fortunate we are to have the opportunity to cook and eat what we want when so many people go hungry every day.” n

Pennoni wins SMPS marketing award Philadelphia, PA — Pennoni Associates, an ENR Top 100 engineering, design, and consulting firm, is pleased to announce that it has won a National Marketing Communications Award from the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS).

The award was presented at the 35th annual SMPS Awards Gala held during the organization’s national conference in San Francisco. “It is exciting to be recognized by our peers in AEC marketing,” said Pennoni associate vice president and

director of corporate communications Melissa Rysak, CPSM. “Our Corporate Communications team is dedicated to championing the people, clients, and projects that make Pennoni successful. It is a real honor to see that work recognized by SMPS as being among the best in the country.” When a 5.8 magnitude earthquake unexpectedly struck the mid-Atlantic in August 2011, Pennoni engineers used smart technology monitoring and data collection equipment on two of the BCBC owned bridges to assess the impact it had on the structures within minutes of the event. While buildings were being evacuated all along the East Coast in fear of structural failure, Pennoni was able to confirm for its client that the bridges were safe. n

ASSAIC, NJ — CBRE announced that the firm represented the seller and procured the buyer in the sale of a 32-unit apartment complex at 65-69 Howe Avenue and 70-72 Grove Street, Passaic. The sale price was approximately $2.6 million. The NJ Private Capital Group’s (PCG) Charles Berger completed the transaction, selling the property to a longtime PCG client. “This was a complex transaction encompassing multiple parties, all with different needs and requirements,” said Berger. “The deal highlights the recent uptick in the market due to record low vacancy rates and the availability of low interest, multifamily loans. This asset is one hundred occupied with a steady income stream.

NEW JERSEY In Gloucester County, New Jersey

Gebroe-Hammer arranges $2 million bank note sale

LOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — GebroeHammer Associates has arranged a $2 million non-performing note sale secured by a 70-unit garden apartment complex in Gloucester County. The Ken Uranowitz investment brokerage team of Ken Uranowitz, managing director, and Joel Schwartz, executive vice president, represented the lender. According to Schwartz, the note buyer plans to implement a capital improvement program once title has been secured.

“This will render the complex more competitive, in terms of maintenance, amenities and rents, which are gradually rising throughout South Jersey,” he said. “Occupancy rates also are firming up thanks Joel Schwartz to the area’s strategic location and mass transit access to Philadelphia.” “Despite the influx of nonperforming bank notes, which were anticipated as a result of the recession and now di-

minishing in velocity, multifamily properties are thriving, as evidenced by occupancies that are generally hovering in the high 90th percentile from Philadelphia and its South Jersey suburbs to New York and its Northern New Jersey suburbs,” said Uranowitz. “All of the factors that have contributed toward multi-family’s strength and solid investment performance, including an unstable housing market and record-low interest rates, are expected to become even more robust as we move toward the end of the year and into next.” ■

NEW JERSEY After twenty years Brown takes on new role

Franzini ends respected tenure as EDA chief executive officer

RENTON, NJ — After twenty years leading the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA), Chief Executive Officer Caren Franzini has tendered her resignation Caren Franzini effective September 30, 2012. A special EDA board of directors meeting was held in order to inform the board, as well as take action regarding an executive restructure follow-

ing Franzini’s departure this fall to pursue private sector opportunities. In her place, the board of the EDA voted to approve a new executive structure that would include Governor Christie key advisor and senior staff member Michele Brown taking on the new role of CEO. “I have had the unique pleasure to serve the people of New Jersey in a tremendously rewarding job for over two decades, and now, with the EDA entrusted with so many tools for economic growth and positioned for continued success,

I have decided it is time to move on to a new phase in my career,” said Franzini. “EDA is a special place with a dedicated and talented staff that will be especially hard to leave, but I have deep comfort in the knowledge I am leaving it in good hands with staff I have worked with for many years, as well as new leadership with a demonstrated level of commitment and integrity.” EDA chairman Al Koeppe said, “I have had the opportunity to work with Caren and the EDA for over 20 years, including my two terms as the Chairman. For all of that time, and under her leadership, the EDA has been a source of pride for the State. The distinguished high performance of this Authority has been achieved during volatile economic times, through changes in political leadership and the natural ebb and flow in the composition of its highly technical workforce. “It is clear that, in Caren, the EDA had a very unusual leader who was able to function very effectively at the strategic level as CEO, as well as a highly technical operating level as a COO. She had the energy and deep skills to fill both roles superbly. But that doesn’t mean that the EDA’s organizational structure, given her departure, would be ideal, particularly given its dramatically increasing responsibilities.” ■

virtual doorman and a planned private river walk, offering park benches and scenic views of the Passaic River. “With Riverwalk, we are not simply constructing an exceptional building. Rather, we are creating a rich and full lifestyle experience,” said Bernie Langan, managing member of Riverfront Residential. “This community’s location within

a mixed-use development provides a seamless and dynamic live, work and play environment.” Riverwalk’s brick façade draws inspiration from the distinct architecture of properties located along the Passaic River, which the community overlooks, and the high level of finishes offered set the community apart from other rental

buildings in the area. Each residence features nine-foot ceilings, oak wood flooring in the living areas and a full-size washer and dryer. Kitchens are well appointed with Giallo Ornamental granite countertops, custom tile flooring, glass tile backsplashes and stainless steel appliances, and master bathrooms are highlighted by custom vanities with Calcatta

gold marble tops. Conveniently located near various highways, including the Garden State Parkway and Routes 80, 46, 21 and 17, Riverwalk is approximately 15 miles from New York City and close to a variety of shopping venues, restaurants, airports and sporting arenas, including Newark Liberty International Airport, Garden State Plaza,

and MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands Sports Complex. River Drive Construction, headquartered right in Elmwood Park oversaw all phases of construction. Atlanta-based Niles Bolton Associates served as the architect, with custom designed interiors from the award-winning, O’Neil Langan Architects, based in Manhattan. ■

129 units located in Central New Jersey

Senior vice president Sweetwood of The Kislak Company handles $6.6 million in multifamily

sbury Park, NJ — The Kislak Company, Inc. completed five sales transactions throughout New Jersey totaling $11.75 million. In separate transactions, a 90unit property i n A s b u r y Joni Sweetwood Park sold for $4.5 million; a 45unit property in East Orange sold for $2.9 million; a 47-unit property in East Orange for $1.6 million; two properties with a total of 39 units in Plainfield sold for $2.1 million and two properties with a total of 16 units in Jersey City sold for $650,000. “The market remains very strong throughout New Jersey for all types of multifamily properties – from suburban garden complexes to high-den-

sity urban buildings – throughout the state’s submarkets,” said president and co-managing director Robert Holland. “These sales are representative of the demand among investors as well as what is occurring in the market. The properties are also in submarkets with very low vacancy rates close to abundant mass transit.” The Asbury Park sale was of Frederick Douglas Apartments, a 90-unit garden apartment complex located two blocks from the city’s train station and only a few blocks from the beach and the city’s vibrant downtown commercial district. Senior vice president Joni Sweetwood represented both parties in the transaction pursuant to an listing agreement. “Asbury Park is becoming increasingly popular for residents and investors alike as

the revitalization of the city proceeds,” said Sweetwood. “The area has become trendier with restaurants, shops and nightlife. People want to live there. Occupancy at the property is nearly 100% and rent concessions, which had been offered in the past, are no longer needed to attract tenants.” The purchaser assumed the seller’s existing financing. The mortgage assumption was facilitated by Arbor Commercial Mortgage. The seller was represented in-house and the purchaser was represented by Richard Kelin, Esq. of Feinstein, Raiss, Kelin & Booker, LLC. The sale marked the second transaction that Kislak handled on behalf of each of the seller and purchaser. The first East Orange sale was of a 45-unit four-story masonry building with elevator service. Sweetwood also represented both parties in

the transaction pursuant to an listing agreement. The purchaser obtained a new first mortgage at an attractive rate. The seller was represented by Jonathan Mehl, Esq. and the purchaser was represented by Melanie Scroble, Esq. of Ansell, Grimm & Aaron, PC. At the time of closing, the property was 98% occupied. The second East Orange sale was of a 47-unit four-story brick building with elevator service. The transaction was a distressed sale wherein Sweetwood facilitated the all-cash sale of the mortgage on the property and the transfer of the deed, both to the purchaser. The Plainfield sales were of two neighboring properties on Eighth and Ninth Streets with a total of 39 units that include a combination of studios and one-bedroom units. VP Alan Sommer Storozum represented

the seller and Sweetwood represented the purchaser. “In Plainfield, there have been sales of both market rate properties and distressed properties as there had been several distressed or bank-owned properties in the area,” added Sweetwood. The owner initially purchased these properties from a lender at a discount. We then marketed the properties on an exclusive basis and sold them at a market rate price.” The Jersey City sales were of two neighboring properties on Arlington Street with a total of 16 units that include one-, two- and three bedroom units. The seller had previously purchased a distressed mortgage on the property and foreclosed. Sales associate Scott Davidovic represented the seller and Sweetwood represented the purchaser. The seller provided the purchaser with a purchase money mortgage. n

Gateway Transit Village in downtown New Brunswick wins 2012 Smart Growth Award from New Jersey Future NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Gateway Transit Village has been honored with a 2012 Smart Growth Award from New Jersey Future, the Trenton-based, non-profit smartgrowth research and advocacy group. The 23-story development, which includes parking, retail and commercial space and a 192-unit residential component called The Vue, was voted best in the state in the Transit-Oriented Development Partnership category. The award was presented to the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO) and Pennrose Properties, the public/private partnership behind Gateway Transit Village, in conjunction with the New Brunswick Parking Authority and New Jersey Economic Development Authority, at the New Jersey Future’s annual Smart Growth Awards ceremony held recently at the Newark Club. Gateway Transit Village was one of eight projects and in-

The Vue dividuals honored in various categories for their impact on creating responsible housing and healthy living environments through smart growth and redevelopment. “We’re delighted that Gateway Transit Village was recognized as a prime example of re-

sponsible development, thanks in large part to its proximity to mass transportation which significantly limits dependence on cars and reduces the impact on the environment,” said Christopher Paladino, president of DEVCO. “The successful realization of this project is a credit to the diligent work, vision, collaboration and commitment to excellence of a public/private partnership working together to create a mixed-use destination that is for the good of the community at large. Without the desire of local government and community groups to establish working relationships with private companies, a project like Gateway Transit Village would never be possible.” The vision of Gateway Transit Village can be traced back to 2009 when Rutgers University expressed a desire for a new centralized University Bookstore, and DEVCO reassessed the City’s need for more residential units and mixed-use

development near mass transit. Gateway Transit Village emerged as the solution. In spite of the down economy and escalating construction costs, the partnership was able to leverage financial resources, clout and experience to make Gateway Transit Village a reality. Designed by Manhattanbased Meltzer/Mandl Architects, PC, Gateway Transit Village is directly connected to the westbound train platform of the Northeast Corridor Line at the New Brunswick Train station by a recently completed landscaped pedestrian walkway. To keep the area active and vibrant, the building also offers public enhancements like community gathering spaces within the Barnes & Noble, a large iconic clock spelling out R-U-T-G-E-R-S adorning the main façade of the building and a park-like elevated promenade adjacent to the building. The walkway is large enough for public gatherings and also

offers direct and convenient access to mass transit for the 20,000 local residents who live within a half mile of the new building. While initially part of a redevelopment initiative focused on housing, retail, parking and better access to mass transportation, Gateway Transit Village is significantly contributing to the lifestyle renaissance taking place in New Brunswick. In addition to the 150 luxury rental residences and 42 Penthouse condominiums located on the upper floors, the building also features 57,000 s/f of retail space in its first two stories, including a full-scale Barnes & Noble book store that will also serve as the Rutgers University Book Store, a Brother Jimmy’s BBQ restaurant, and a Starbucks. The book store and restaurant are expected to open in the summer/fall. There’s also 55,000 s/f of commercial office space located on floors three through seven, and a 657-space parking garage. n

New York Shipping Association is a not-for-profit organization comprised of the ocean cargo carriers, terminal operators, stevedores, and marine-related businesses that move more than $190 billion in products to and from the largest and richest consumer market in the

world. The group took expansion space to accommodate marginal growth needs. “The New York Shipping Association has been a tenant in the building since 2007 and enjoyed an outstanding working relationship with the building management team,” said Robert Goodman, an executive managing director with Colliers International Tri-State, who along with executive managing director John Cunningham and director Kevin Coleman represented the tenant in the transaction. Goodman noted

that the New York Shipping Association’s expansion needs dovetailed with space that became available on the same floor. “Retrofitting their overall premises will create greater operating efficiencies moving forward. The landlord in turn stabilized its long-term cash flow with a super credit tenant in hand.” Kevin Carton, of Cushman & Wakefield, and Dan Frank, of Kwartler Associates, Inc., represented the landlord, TA Realty Associates, in the transaction. ■

H A M I LT O N T W P. , N J — Richardson Commercial Realtors announced the sale of the 3,842± s/f office building located at 3685 Quakerbridge Road to Frank Mancino, regional vice president of Gateway Funding.

Pratico said, “The property will be the perfect fit for the new owner considering it is a mortgage company.

Woodmont & AEW’s I-78 Logistics Ctr. begins construction CLINTON, NJ — Woodmont Industrial Partners, LLC (WI Partners) announced that construction is underway for an additional 36 dock doors at the I-78 Logistics Center at 111 Cokesbury Rd. Additional capital improvements include upgrading the lighting, HVAC and sprinkler systems and once the improvements are complete, the property will be a state-of-the-art regional distribution center for companies that service customers and retailers throughout the Northeast. Woodmont and AEW Capital Management, L.P (AEW), recently formed an investment platform to acquire industrial properties in seaport and inland port markets in the Eastern U.S. The venture acquired I-78 Logistics Center in Q1 2012. With the additional 36, the building will have a total of 84 doors, which equates to one door per 8,700 s/f of building area. “Modern distribution buildings typically have one door per 10,000 s/f, the increase in the number of dock doors will enhance the functionality of the building to help meet the increased distribution needs for companies that distribute products throughout the Northeast,” said Gene Preston, managing principal, Woodmont Industrial. “We also believe the prime location along the toll-free I-78 is a tremendous benefit, which should result in significant savings for potential tenants.” ■

Company News Partners with Red Cross to help meet critical need

Cassidy Turley hosts blood drive at 371 Hoes Lane

iscataway, NJ — Cassidy Turley recently held a successful blood drive at 371 Hoes Lane. The Cassidy Turley Team that worked with the American Red Cross to facilitate the event included assistant vice president Harold Campbell, senior maintenance technician Alex Goda, and assistant property manager Donna Ramirez. The team worked diligently to inform tenants of the drive via word-of-mouth, sending email notices and distributing flyers. “This was an important event for our office building because so many people here wanted to express their support and be part of the community,” said Campbell. ”One of the best ways for individuals to do this is by donating blood. It’s very encouraging to see that so many people are interested in fulfilling this vital community need.” Campbell added that there is active interest from the Cassidy Turley team and tenants to

hold another blood drive in the near future. In other news, New Jersey office market fundamentals stabilize. Current market fundamentals should stabilize later in the year and lay the groundwork for growth in New Jersey by 2013, according to a second quarter Office Market Report published by Cassidy Turley. Following in the footsteps of the first quarter of 2012, both the Northern and Central New Jersey office markets continued to cope with tepid demand and overall flat activity in the second quarter. With 676,614 s/f of negative absorption in the second quarter, the vacancy rate in Northern New Jersey increased to 15.3% from 14.9% in the first quarter, while the average asking rental rate remained flat at $24.69 psf. Central New Jersey’s 486,927 s/f of negative absorption contributed to an increase in the vacancy rate, from 16.3% in the first quarter to 16.8% in

the second. Average asking rents decreased by $0.38 to $23.24 psf. “There is still a sense of caution in the market as evidenced by negative absorption for both Northern and Central New Jersey,” said Raymond Trevisan, managing director of New Jersey for Cassidy Turley. “The upcoming November elections and business concerns over federal spending and tax policies have sidelined corporate decision making. There needs to be more clarity on these issues in order to produce meaningful gains in economic and employment growth to improve overall confidence and promote corporate expansion.” “We have seen a positive impact from various state economic development initiatives,” added David Simon, executive managing director for Cassidy Turley. “These programs have helped New Jersey attract and retain tenants, increase construction activity and stimulate the creation of jobs, particularly in urban areas.” n

Ikon.5 Architects receives AIA-NJ Design Award in Princeton, NJ PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton, NJ-based ikon.5 architects has been awarded a Merit Award in the Non-Residential Built category by the New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-NJ) for the Campus Commons, a threelevel, 12,000 s/f expansion of the 1970 student union at the State University of New York at New Paltz. The expressive, angular shape of the glass-sheathed building with a jutting apex is an architectural reference to the rock outcroppings of the distant Shawangunk Ridge, a major rock-climbing destination that is a distinctive part of the campus’ natural setting. The project also

included the renovation of 10,000 s/f of adjacent space in the existing student union. “We are proud to present this award to ikon.5 for this creative structure that serves as a campus gathering center and makes a strong counterpoint statement to the topography of the landscape,” said Laurence E. Parisi, AIA, president of AIA-NJ. “Creating this transparent and sculptural structure for the University is a well deserved achievement for this creative architectural firm.” The new “crystalline palisade,” as the Campus Commons has been called, functions as the gateway to the university, creating a dramatic first impression by

enlivening a formerly neglected space between two pre-existing concrete buildings, providing a physical point of identity for the university and modernizing its image, while also linking it to the regional landscape. “There was little about the institutional architecture of the SUNY New Paltz campus to distinguish it from that of the dozens of other SUNY campuses,” said Joseph G. Tattoni, AIA, a principal of ikon.5 architects. “Our goal was to transform the image of the campus by designing a Campus Commons that created a striking first impression and that was an abstract expression of the majestic rock crags of the Shawangunk Ridge.” n

America’s Got Talent leases inside Berger’s Robert Treat Center NEWARK, N.J., July 6, 2012 – It has become harder to find an empty table or hotel room in Newark’s Central Business District these days, according to Miles Berger, chairman and chief executive officer of The Berger Organization. With “America’s Got Talent” filming underway at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), the added population and spotlight on New Jersey’s largest city definitely is good for business. The Berger Organization is among the many companies that are benefiting. America’s Got Talent staff and contestants currently have 50 rooms booked at Berger ’s Best Western Robert Treat Hotel. Located at 50 Park Place, the 176-room hotel is located next door to NJPAC. “Every contestant will stay with us through this season, so those bookings likely will grow,” said Shah Deen, the hotel’s general manager. “Add to that their family members and fans of the show, and our property truly is enjoying a new level of energy. Our Maize restaurant is busier, too, due to our proximity to the filming site.” Deen noted that the Robert

Shah Deen, general manager of the Robert Treat Hotel, greets America’s Got Talent Contestant Alonzo “Turf” Jones. Treat Hotel has known it would play a central role in housing America’s Got Talent since March and had plenty of time to gear up for the influx. “The pace here certainly is faster, but the vibe is really positive,” he said. “We have a guest lounge that serves breakfast, and the AGT people already are becoming regulars. They will be here for some time, and it is nice to see the familiarity already forming between these guests and our staff members.” America’s Got Talent also leased the former New Jersey Network studio at Berger’s Robert Treat Center, a 100,000 s/f office property that sits adjacent to the hotel. The 2,500

s/f space was NJN’s home for 20 years, prior to its operations being outsourced by the State of New Jersey. “AGT has two sets in place there for interviews with the judges and contestants,” Berger noted. “It was a great match – they needed a high-quality studio, and we had one available.” Beyond the revenue-generating advantages of having one of the nation’s most popular reality television talent shows in residence, America’s Got Talent is proving to be a real boost for Newark. “Acts are rehearsing outside on the street, which adds ambiance to the area around NJPAC,” Berger said. “There is a general feeling of excitement in the neighborhood.” “Newark benefits from both its central east coast corridor location as well as its transit infrastructure, which has paved the way for continued rebound in the city’s office market and business climate in general,” Berger said. “In recent years, our worldclass venues like NJPAC and Prudential Center, the Newark Museum, parks, universities and fine dining have worked toward making Newark a true destination,” he continued. n

CREW LV gathers at Vyncrest Winery, Breinigsville, PA

Lehigh Valley wine trail an economic generator

bout 30 members and guests of CREW LV gathered at Vyncrest Winery, Breinigsville, PA to sample delicious native wines and learn about the economic impact of tourism on the Lehigh Valley. While vintners John and Jan Landis poured samples of their estate bottled wine, Michael Stershic, president

of Discover Lehigh Valley, the regional tourism agency, noted that 2010 visitors to all area attractions resulted in a $1.5 billion economic benefit to the valley and supported 22,500 jobs with a payroll of $748 million. Focusing on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail, Stershic said that the region has been designated an American Viti-

cultural Area (AVA), a governmentally-defined geographic area with specific topography, climate and soil types integral to the production of regionally recognized wine. Pennsylvania boasts five AVAs, but the Lehigh Valley has the oldest continually operating Wine Trail; it is a non-profit organization formed in 2008 by eight family-owned wineries.

The wineries constitute 791 acres of farmland with 220 acres dedicated to growing wine grapes; 189,000 gallons of wine are produced annually. The trail attracts about 300,000 visitors annually and contributes $52 million annually through sales and events. “It’s a great agri-tourism story,” Stershic said. n
