A tenant’s right to assign or sublet a commercial lease

Guest Columnist .................................................................Barbara Anisko Mid Atlantic REAL ESTATE JOURNAL ~ Published Semi-Monthly P.O. Box 26 Accord, MA 02018 (Mail) 312 Market Street, Rockland, MA 02370 (Overnight) Periodicals postage paid at Rockland, Massachusetts and additional mailing offices

O

ver the past several years as businesses struggle to ride out the tough economic times, they have had no choice but to downsize. Tied to commercial leases for more office or retail space than they need, an assignment of the lease or the subletting of the extra space seems like an attractive way of saving on expenses. In making the decision whether to assign or sublet, the tenant should first carefully examine its lease to determine whether the lease contains any provisions prohibiting or restricting assignment or subleasing. Commercial leases, like any other contracts, are governed by their terms. Therefore, whether a tenant has the right to assign a lease to another party or to sublet the leased premises to another tenant depends on the language of the tenant’s lease with the landlord. If the lease does not contain language prohibiting or restricting the assignment or transfer of a tenant’s interest, a tenant is free to assign or transfer all or part of its interest. A tenant is not

required to obtain prior consent of the landlord, unless the lease contains language requiring the tenant to obtain prior consent of the landlord.

In making the decision whether to assign or sublet, the tenant should also understand the legal differences between the two concepts. An assignment of a lease is the transfer by the tenant of all of the tenant’s rights and interest in the lease. In an assignment, although the assignee tenant effectively steps into the shoes of the assigning tenant, the assigning tenant continues to remain liable to the landlord on the lease. With an assignment, if the assignee breaches, the landlord has the

right to enforce the terms of the lease against the assigning tenant or the assignee tenant.

A sublease is different from an assignment. A sublease is a separate contract between the transferring tenant and the subtenant. The sublease may transfer all or a part of the leased premises, for all or a part of the lease term, and under terms that are similar or materially different from the lease. As with an assignment, the tenant remains liable to the landlord on the original commercial lease. With a sublet, the landlord does not have a legal right to enforce the terms of the original lease or sublease continued on page 3A

OCKLEIGH, NJ — GHP Office Realty represented the owner in completing one of the largest office leases in the state of New Jersey in 2012, a 123,000 s/f office and laboratory renewal and expansion at 8 King Road in Rockleigh.

The tenant, Spectra East is a division of Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc, which is the world’s largest integrated dialysis company. The 8 King Road location is the East Coast executive headquarters for Spectra East and the only laboratory and testing facility serving the entire eastern half of the United States.

After searching the entire tri state region for a newer location, Spectra determined that its in place state of the art infrastructure and world class wet laboratory remained its most attractive option. Their

8 King Road ability to maintain their educated and highly skilled work force, abundant parking, and access to public transportation all proved a compelling combination to renew and expand at 8 King Road. The building’s ready ability to handle a 10,000 foot expansion helped clinch the renewal at 8 King Road. Spectra East currently employs over 500 people at the site and expects the number of employees to

grow to over 600 people within the next few years.

8 King Road was purchased by the principals of GHP Office Realty and a group of private investors in 2000. The property has 190,000 s/f and 800 parking spaces. The property boasts two back-up generators, abundant and multiple sources of power and state of the art fiber optic systems. The building has limited availability of space. â–

or over 50 years, the Virginia Auctioneers Association (VAA) has been recognized for leadership in the auction industry.

We continue to be indebted to eight far seeing gentleman who met at the Hotel Roanoke in May 1958 and chartered the VAA whose purpose was then and continues now to be to promote and advance the auction profession.

The Nicholls Auction Marketing Group believes it is important to continue the tradition began in 1958 and help to lead the VAA and the auction industry in the 21st century and was well represented in Charlottesville.

This year’s convention spotlighted awards presentations, election of officers and directors, as well as hours of seminars, from nationally known speakers and experts in the action industry, to enhance an auctioneer’s ability to better serve the public.

Shields Jones Beyond the intangibles gained from meeting with those with who we have much in common, some of our company highlights were that Shields Jones was elected president by the Association and John Nicholls and Kelly Strauss were recognized our outstanding leadership on the Board of Directors.

Additionally, Nicholls Auc-

tion Marketing Group received numerous first-place awards for excellence in marketing and Johan Nicholls was interviewed by local television media about the auction industry and appeared in a TV broadcast about the convention.

We believe active participation in the Virginia Auctioneers Association is a significant factor in the success of any auction company and are proud to be a part of it.

Every year, over a quartertrillion dollars in property and assets are sold by auctioneers. The auction industry continues to grow, becoming a popular method for selling goods and services for many industries in the United States. The auction industry is vast and diverse with auctioneers specializing in a variety of markets, such as art, antiques, automobiles, machinery, real estate, personal property, and charity. ■

widely used methods of marketing real and personal property throughout the world.

The auction method of marketing is one of the most widely used methods of marketing real and personal property throughout the world. Billions of dollars of real and personal property are sold every year using this exciting method.

The auction method can turn assets into cash in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Choosing a professional auctioneer for your particular needs is an important step in this process.

The State of New Jersey does not require a license to be an auctioneer. Therefore, anyone can advertise and promote themselves as auctioneers, but they may not have the appropriate knowledge, education or professional ethics that is required of an NJSSA member.

The NJSSA is a group of likeminded auctioneers who have joined together voluntarily to hold themselves accountable to a higher level of integrity and professionalism.

When choosing an auctioneer, always choose an NJSSA member, and ask for references. For more information on the New Jersey State Society of Auctioneers, please contact, Earle Steeve III at: earle@maxspann.com On February 15, 2012 NJSSA members elected Bob Dan as the new president. Wes Pace is the new Vice President; Earle Steeves is now the Secretary/treasurer. Board members are Mary Kenney, Harrie Copeland, Max Spann Jr and Steve Miranti. Joe Bodnar is now the Chairman of the Board. ■

Executive VP Rosen originates Arcadia Nursing facility transaction

Beech Street Capital provides $12.5 million to refinance Northern New Jersey apartments

W

EEHAWKEN, NJ — Beech Street Capital, LLC announced that it has provided a $12.5 million Fannie Mae conventional loan to refinance The Simone, a new, groundup construction building in Weehawken, New Jersey. The transaction was originated

by Meridian Capital Group, LLC, and was financed by Beech Street Capital as part of its correspondent relationship with Meridian.

This was the first agency loan for the borrower and their first experience with Beech Street. Beech Street delivered on the borrower’s

Arcadia Nursing & Rehabilitation Center requests for a low rate and maximum proceeds, and expeditiously rate locked the

transaction 30 days after receiving the application. With over 25 years of experience in

Henrich & Nalbandian of NorthMarq Capital arrange $14.408 million in mulitple mortgages PHILADELPHIA, PA — David A. Henrich, senior vice president of NorthMarq Capital’s (NorthMarq) Philadelphia Regional office arranged first mortgage acquisition financing of $2.468 million for 2.6 acres of land in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

This asset consists of 2.6 acres which will be developed for two separate pad tenants.

CVS will be the major tenant at the site on a 25 year ground lease with multiple options.

Financing was based on a 25-year term and a 25-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower by NorthMarq through its relationship with William Blair & Company, a Credit Tenant Lease Lender. According to Henrich, the borrower needed maximum loan proceeds to acquire the land that is to be developed for two separate tenants. Loan proceeds from the CVS lease were sufficient to close the transaction. Complicating the transaction was CVS’s delayed rent commencement date and obligations for portions of the site development.

He said, “The lender did an excellent job of structuring around the lease that contained release provisions for the second pad site and

Citizens Bank extended timeliness by CVS before they were required to develop their site and to build their building.”

In other news, Greg Nalbandian, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of NorthMarq Capital’s New Jersey Regional office, arranged a first mortgage refinance in the amount of $11.94 million for the RBS Citizens Bank Portfolio. This portfolio consists of 16 RBS Citizens Bank branches located in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Working exclusively on behalf of a major REIT client, financing was based on a 5-year term with 3 years interest only and the following 2 years on a 40-year amortization schedule through NorthMarq’s

relationship with a regional bank. According to Mr. Nalbandian, this transaction is a 60% LTV, non-recourse, cross collateralized loan with a 5-year loan term against an average lease term remaining of only 7 years in secondary and tertiary markets. He stated, “Given the shorter average lease term remaining coupled with the tertiary markets, there was not much fanfare for this financing on any level. However, we were able to identify a regional bank that liked the credit and the borrower and stepped up in a big way by offering 60% proceeds on a full non-recourse basis with a substantial interest only period, which was extremely important to the client.” ■

The Simone the real estate industry, the borrower currently owns 10 apartment properties in New Jersey and New York.

Charles Grussgott the Meridian mortgage finance advisor on the deal was impressed with Beech Street’s efficiency and agency expertise, as this was his first experience with Beech Street as well. “This was one of the best experiences I have had with a lender.

The Beech Street team did an excellent job from start to finish.”

Built and completed by the borrower in early 2011, The Simone consists of 50 multifamily apartment units in a four-story building. Located in Hudson County, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, the property exhibited a very strong lease-up rate over the last 10 months and beginning in July, the property achieved 85 percent occupancy. It is currently 100 percent occupied and according to the appraiser, Realty Services Inc., the demand for housing in the subject’s market exceeds supply.

The fixed-rate loan has a 10-year term and 30 years of amortization payable on an actual/360 basis.

In other news, Beech Street Capital, LLC announced that it has provided an $8.9 million HUD 223(a)(7) loan to refinance Arcadia Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, a 128bed skilled nursing facility in Hamilton Square, New Jersey.

The transaction was originated by Joshua Rosen, executive

vice president of Beech Street Capital. Working from Beech Street’s Chicago office, Rosen leads the company’s nationwide healthcare efforts.

The borrower had 28 years left on an existing $9.0 million FHA loan. Beech Street accomplished an important goal for the borrower by increasing the loan term to 35 years, something that is becoming increasingly rare with HUD. By extending the loan term, Beech Street was able to refinance the property with substantial debt service coverage savings to the borrower and further increased savings with a significantly reduced interest rate.

Beech Street also skillfully managed the underwriting process, which allowed for a seamless and expedited closing. “Beech Street was an absolute pleasure to work with,” says Mike Gabriel, principal of Arcadia Retirement Community, Inc. “A term extension was absolutely essential for us, but we understand that they are not frequently granted. We were thrilled when it came through.”

Beech Street expects to see more refinance activity in the seniors market in the coming year. “The conditions are really favorable right now for anyone with a current HUD- insured mortgage to refinance under Section HUD 223(a)(7),” Rosen says.

“Not only are rates at all-time historical lows, but HUD has all but eliminated the (a)(7) queue.” ■

FINANCIAL DIGEST Case Study by Paul Braugngart, Regional Capital Group

Regional Capital Group closes on bridge funding for two student housing facilities

R

egional Capital Group (“RCG”) closes on an $8.9M discounted note purchase of two 100% occupied Student Housing Facilities located in the Richmond, Virginia area.

The Borrower is a na- Paul Braugngart tional, multi-family property ownership, investment and redevelopment organization with an extremely large portfolio of assets and a past borrower of

RCG. The Borrower purchased the sites back in 2002 and had substantial equity in the assets and continued to achieve strong returns until the economic downturn. In order to keep occupancies high, while also staying competitive in the marketplace, the rental rates were lowered, which in turn reduced the overall net operating income. This caused the property to go into default and end up with a special servicer.

The company then reorganized its strategy for the sites, as it related to the marketing and

leasing of the units, which made a huge difference, but it was after the fact.

Because of this situation, the Borrower had the opportunity to buy the note (which wraps both assets into one loan) at a substantial discount. The Borrower starting working with an existing relationship they had at a local bank, until the bank suddenly changed their geographical lending parameters which disqualified the asset.

The borrower was left with less than 40 days before they would lose the assets. They had been and continued to pay ex-

tension fees in an effort to buy more time to finance the existing lender out of the deal and this is where RCG stepped in.

RCG structured 100% financing of the discounted payoff amount in addition to a portion of the extension fee in the time frame set forth. This not only allowed for the Borrower to realize the discount, but to also save the assets and not have to come out of pocket with additional funds.

RCG utilizes a diverse background and vast knowledge to complete transactions spread across a broad range of asset

classes. RCG focuses not only on the execution of specific deals, but also no understanding each client’s needs and goals, to complete short term or permanent funding. We also offer alternative loan structures which may fall outside of the traditional lending sources to expedite a closing should an opportunistic situation arise.

In addition to a primary role as a lender, RCG partners with developers and investors to acquire performing and nonperforming real estate assets, RCG has a unique team with experience in real estate lending and investment, development, entitlement, construction and property management. RCG’s staff consists of problem solvers with the resources to create unique solutions to complex real estate funding issues. They have closed in excess of $5 Billion in real estate funding and investment over their careers.

RCG continues to provide capital for a variety of real estate projects in challenging times. They work together with other lenders, investors, and developers to provide funding for troubled projects or those that have lost funding due to the contraction of the market.

RCG utilizes it funding capabilities to take advantage of opportunities with short time frames and makes decisions very quickly when presented with specifics on a situation.

The principals have weathered troubled markets in the past and have provided consulting and loan work out direction to lenders and investors of all types for over 30 years. This transaction is an example of a situation where RCG utilized its vast experience and intuition to solve a problem.

The Current Commercial Mortgage Market

T

he big commercial real estate news was the February 21st bankruptcy filing

by Grubb and Ellis and simultaneous announcement that it was being acquired by BGC Partn e r s , I n c . Bruce Coin (“BGC”). BGC is a global financial services firm that last year acquired the Newmark Knight Frank organization. BGC’s largest shareholder is the Cantor Fitzgerald brokerage firm.

It is a strategic move that could potentially have a greater impact on the commercial mortgage market than the obvious addition of Grubb and Ellis’ one hundred or so commercial real estate offices to BGC’s overall group.

Cantor Fitzgerald, since only really starting its CMBS platform in 2010, has now become one of the more highly visible originators of CMBS II product.

Using the Grubb and Ellis office network as its own pipeline, Cantor, if so inclined, could create its own, virtually unlimited, source of locally generated and underwritten CMBS loan

applications dramatically enhancing investor interest and confidence. Such a controlled feeder structure employing prudent loan underwriting and with oversight and checks and balances could lead to their possibly dominating the industry.

Time will tell if they move in that direction.

How to unwind Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has been on regulator’s minds for close to two years. On Tuesday February 21st, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), created

by The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, sent a new strategic reform plan for that to

Congress. Their plan calls for creating a new infrastructure for the secondary mortgage market to reduce the scope of Fannie’s and Freddie’s market share while simplifying and shrinking their operations.

They commented that Fannie’s and Freddie’s ongoing ability to provide a stable liquid flow of mortgage backed securities to investors is essential to stabilizing house prices and ensuring stability in the value of approximately $3.9 trillion of currently outstanding MBS. During their conservatorship, Fannie’s and Freddie’s multifamily market share has grown

but they do not dominate that market as they do the single family market. FHFA’s proposal pointed out that the multifamily platforms, unlike the single family operations, share underwriting risk either with their loan originators (Fannie’s DUS program) or by issuing classes of securities (Freddie) where investors share the risk.

The proposal went on to say that Fannie’s and Freddie’s multifamily businesses have “weathered the housing crisis”, generated positive cash flow and that their multifamily businesses are not subject to reform efforts.

The FHFA proposal does require them to undertake a market analysis of the viability of their multifamily operations without government guarantees and the likely prospect of their operating on a stand-alone basis after attracting private capital.

For a variety of reasons, the FHFA indicated that contracting Fannie’s and Freddie’s commercial multifamily businesses should be approached differently (than their single family business) and may be accomplished using a more direct method. In the interim, it appears as if “business as usual” will continue with Fannie’s and Freddie’s multifamily lending operations and that’s good news for apartment borrowers.

In other news: •Consistent with past promises of more “transparency” the minutes of the FOMC’s February meeting included a tremendous amount of additional information and insight into board members thinking.

•The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) continues to analyze its initial recommendation that long term real property leases be reflected on company balance sheets as long term liabilities. How that plays out can have a major impact on tenants especially chain-anchor retailers. It can also impact the benefit of doing a purchaseleaseback transaction to effect off balance sheet financing.

Despite being recently bombarded by gasoline price increases, there is no question that the economy is improving.

All signs point to this national election year as being better for the commercial real estate and mortgage markets. Stay tuned.

A total size of more than one million square feet

Hartz’s announces 1000 Apartments for 99 Hudson site; $450m Jersey City Twr.

J

ERSEY CITY, NJ — Hartz Mountain Industries and Roseland Property Company will build a 1,000-unit residential complex at 99 Hudson St., providing the exclamation point on New Jersey’s Emanuel Stern iconic waterfront location.

With a price tag of $450 million and a total size of more than one million square

feet, the project would create more than 2,000 long-term construction jobs over a five year period, and will be the largest rental project and one of the top five tallest buildings in New Jersey.

Colgate Center is home to 90 and 70 Hudson Street, which were developed by Hartz Mountain and when sold last year were named the most expensive office buildings in New Jersey. After Hartz’s speculative construction of 70 and 90 in the late 1990s, Goldman Sachs built its tower

and a Hovnanian-developed luxury condominium at 77 Hudson.

Roseland Property Company, which manages Hartz Mountain’s residential projects and is a partner in four of Hartz’s residential developments, envisions support retail and entertainment on the structure, which provided parking for residents and guests.

“The waterfront in Jersey City features many compelling pieces, but it lacks a center,” said Carl Goldberg, partner in

Roseland Property Company.

“We see 99 Hudson providing the components that would turn an interesting area into a classic neighborhood.”

The project will be developed subject to revival of the NJ Economic Development Agency’s Urban Hub Tax Credit (UHTC) residential program, which was suspended after depleting its $250 million allocation.

“We submitted an application several months ago that fully qualified for the UHTC program,” said Emanuel Stern,

president and COO of Hartz Mountain Industries. “As we have seen through the history of the UHTC program, the economic climate – especially as it pertains to financing – will not permit a project like this to proceed without assistance.

“Our application to EDA for the UHTC program delivers instant economic impact and smart growth benefits that will last for decades, so we are hopeful this necessary program is quickly revived so we can commence construction.” ■

Cushman & Wakefield arranges $16.5 million sale EDISON, NJ — Cushman & Wakefield’s Metropolitan Area Capital Markets Group (CMG) has orchestrated the sale of 2121 Route 27, a 99,000 s/f R&D and office building, for $16.5 million. Fully occupied

by Revlon and utilized as the consumer products giant’s primary R&D center, the building is part of Edison Towne Corporate Center, combining office and industrial uses.

The East Rutherford, N.J.based Cushman & Wakefield team of Andrew Merin, David Bernhaut, Gary Gabriel and Jared Zimmel represented the seller, The Morris Companies.

The buyer was Angelo, Gordon & Company on behalf of the $560 million AG Net Lease Realty Fund, II, one of a series of net leased investment funds managed by the firm.

Edison Towne Center also encompasses a 248,000 s/f multi-tenant office building at 2147 Route 27, connected to the Revlon R&D facility by a common lobby, as well as a 140,000 s/f industrial building and land approved for an additional 650,000 square feet of industrial space. In addition to the R&D center, Revlon occupies 31,500 square feet within the adjacent office building.

“After acquiring the property two years ago, The Morris

Companies was able to extend Revlon for 15 years through 2025 and complete a significant renovation of the office building,” said Merin. “It was subsequently decided that the two buildings would be offered for sale, and the disposition of the R&D building has now been completed. The multitenant office building attracted considerable interest from prospective buyers, and we expect to have an announcement on that sale shortly.”

New Jersey Business park at Exit 8A

Matrix Development Group announces building sale and new lease at Matrix Corporate Campus

M

ONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ — Matrix Development Group, one of the Northeast’s most active and well-regarded real estate investment and development companies, recently announced the completion of a building sale and new lease at Matrix Corporate Campus, the company’s premier business park at Exit 8A of the New Jersey Turnpike.

The recent activity includes the following transactions: • Bracco Diagnostics signed a 54,000 s/f lease. The U.S.based subsidiary of Bracco Imaging SpA develops and

markets clinical agents for use in X-ray/Computed Tomography (CT), Nuclear Medicine and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the U.S. and Canada.

• Richard Grubb & Associates, one of the largest full-service, independent cultural resource firms in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, purchased a 9,000 s/f building at the campus.

The two firms join other notable tenants including AmeriHealth Insurance Company of New Jersey, Real Time Components, Intent Group,

Matrix Corporate Campus.

Since then, Matrix has made additional investments in the site and upgraded numerous facilities.

The business park spans more than 342,000 s/f of office, laboratory, and flex space. Users as small as 2,500 square feet to those with requirements in excess of 100,000 s/f can be easily accommodated within the existing buildings at the park.

Located at Exit 8A of the New Jersey Turnpike, Matrix Corporate Campus offers turnpike frontage, providing com-

and Innophos.

“The successful leasing and sales campaign at Matrix Corporate Campus is directly attributed to the creation of a niche with growing companies that want a premier location, within a beautiful corporate park, at a fair price when compared to similar properties in the area,” said Alec Taylor, Principal of Matrix Development Group.

In 2010, Matrix acquired the 80-acre, 13-building MidAtlantic Corporate Center from Preferred Unlimited and renamed the property

panies prominent exposure on one of the State’s busiest roadways. It straddles both Cranbury and Monroe Townships in bustling Middlesex County and offers immediate access to Route 130.

Matrix is currently offering buildings of varying sizes for both lease and sale at the park. Tenants benefit from the park’s strategic location, its well-maintained, manicured park setting, and the inherent value afforded by the campus’ flexible space options to accommodate a variety of users. n

Newmark Knight Frank negotiates 67,763 s/f lease Union, NJ — Newmark Knight Frank represented The TriZetto Group in a new, longterm lease extension for 67,763 s/f at 1085 Morris Avenue in Union.

Newmark Knight Frank’s Richard Mirliss, Richard J. Madison, Bill Benton (with the firm’s San Francisco office), Hope Brodsky and Kieran McGee represented TriZetto in the transaction. Cushman & Wakefield’s David Stifleman and Dan Jonsen represented sublandlord AGL Resources.

Newmark Knight Frank’s New Jersey offices successfully completed 4.8 million s/f of office transactions in 2011, reports David Simson, vice chairman and COO of the firm’s New Jersey operations. Included in the total were several prominent headquarters transactions, led by the state’s largest deal for 2011, Novo Nordisk’s 560,000 s/f lease agreement in Plainsboro. “It is indeed a credit to our professionals that we were able to assist these major corporations in satisfying their real estate requirements,” said Simson. “Given the challenges that everyone continued to face throughout the year, the fact that we were able to navigate an otherwise challenged economy and get deals done is a clear indication of the strengths that we continue to bring to the marketplace.”

The transaction engineered on behalf of pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk by Newmark Knight Frank’s Steve Tolkach is a $215 million redevelopment project joint-ventured by Ivy Equities, LCOR, and Intercontinental Real Estate.

CresaPartners’ New Jersey office facilitates SorinRoyerCooper’s expansion in NJ RUTHERFORD, NJ — The New Jersey-based office of CresaPartners LLC helped SorinRoyerCooper renegotiate its lease to accommodate the law firm’s rapid growth. The new lease allowed the firm to expand from 5,298 s/f on the 11th floor to 19,452 s/f on the entire top floor at Two Tower Center in East Brunswick.

Founded in 2009 by Dave Sorin, John Royer and Neil Cooper, SorinRoyerCooper LLC is a law firm that specializes in the region’s startup, earlystage, emerging-growth and middle-market sector enterprises. The firm offers creative and sophisticated solutions and accessible, responsive service by experienced lawyers, for highly competitive fees that ensure a compelling value proposition.

Tom Giannone and Ron Ganter, co-managing principals of CresaPartners’ New Jersey office, represented SorinRoyerCooper, while the landlord, Tower Center II Investment Group, LLC, was represented

by Jeremy Neuer of CB Richard Ellis.

“The incredible problem solvers at CresaPartners worked with us to find a highly efficient solution to a compelling problem,” said Sorin. “Tom and Ron evaluated our business from soup-to-nuts to help us devise a new lease that not only met our anticipated needs at the right cost, but reflected our value proposition and aligned with our unique vision for growth.”

Giannone and Ganter worked with SorinRoyerCooper in early 2010 to negotiate a lease that would help the law firm take more space as it grew.

Suzanne Macnow and vice president Adam Englander represented the tenant.

“The Sawtooth Group appreciated this well-maintained property with a convenient location right off the parkway and exceptional amenities,” said Macknow. “Additionally, the vibrant Red Bank downtown area is also ideal for their employees.”

Oversee high traffic retail and office portfolio in Paramus

NAI Hanson awarded 245,000 s/f property management assignment

P

ARAMUS, NJ — NAI James E. Hanson’s property management subsidiary, NAI Hanson Management LLC, has been awarded a 245,000 s/f property assignment. The Paramus based portfolio is owned by the Emil Buehler Trust Fund and consists of over 200,000 s/f of retail space and approximately 45,000 s/f of office space.

The properties are: • 60 Route 17 North, a 75,000 s/f retail center featuring tenants such as DSW, PetSmart and Staples.

• 321 Route 17 South, a 40,000 s/f retail space that hosts PC Richards.

• 289-295 Route 17 South, a 57,000 s/f retail site that is the former home of rug and furniture retailer Einstein Moomjy.

• 311 Route 17 South, which has 9,900 s/f of office and 10,000 s/f of retail space.

• 305 Route 17 South, which offers a mix of 35,000 s/f of office space and 22,000 s/f of

retail.

“Route 17 in Paramus is one of the most highly traveled roads in all of New Jersey and this portfolio contains a number of quite visible sites, “ said Bill Hanson, president of NAI James E. Hanson. “The Hanson Property Management Team is expert at handling the diverse needs of this impressive portfolio.”

NAI Hanson Management offers an enhanced spectrum of property management services for the company’s 3.9 million

s/f of assets owned and under management, encompassing office, industrial/warehouse and retail properties located throughout the Northeastern US. The subsidiary is equipped to handle all aspects of property management, construction management, plant and physical maintenance, tenant leasing and fit out and legal and environmental consulting.

HACKENSACK, NNJ — NAI James E. Hanson represented United Water New Jersey Inc. in a unique deal that will

preserve the largest privately owned, remaining undeveloped property in densely populated Weehawken, with views overlooking the Palisades above the New Jersey entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel as a new public park.

NAI Hanson senior vice president Andrew Somple, SIOR, and director of Capital Markets Gregory M. James oversaw the $11 million transaction on behalf of United Water, which had approached the firm in early 2010 about exploring sale opportunities for the 14.4-acre reservoir site, which was zoned for high-density residential use.

The company had not used the property since 1996.

After marketing the property to just a handful of prospective buyers, United Water received four offers on the property from developers that hoped to build multifamily projects on the site. Negotiations were just beginning when, in the summer of 2010,

the Township of Weehawken expressed a strong interest in preserving the site, according to Somple.

To complete this transaction, The Trust for Public Land — a national conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens and natural areas — facilitated the acquisition of the reservoir and recently conveyed the property to Weehawken, Union City and the State of New Jersey’s Green Acres Program. The effort of all parties working together culminated in the completion of this transaction.

The property will be transformed into a passive public park, enhanced with a walking and running trail. Portions of the reservoir will continue to function as a water storage facility, and United Water will retain an easement to construct and maintain a 10-million-gallon underground water storage tank located beneath the future park. ■

Pearson relocates professional and technology jobs to SJP Properties’ Waterfront Corporate Center III HOBOKEN, NJ — Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer, and other dignitaries today joined Pearson’s Rich Glicini, senior vice president for People and Social Responsibility, and SJP Properties’ CEO Steven J. Pozycki, to announce a lease agreement to relocate New Jersey employees from the world’s leading learning company to a new, state-of-the-art office building on Hoboken’s waterfront.

Pearson signed a lease for more than 200,000 s/f at SJP Properties’ 500,000 s/f Waterfront Corporate Center III, the final site within Hoboken’s 26-acre waterfront, mixeduse master plan, and the last phase of SJP’s 1.5-million s/f, three-building office and retail complex.

“Pearson’s decision to stay

is just one of many examples where we’ve successfully intervened to keep and create jobs in New Jersey,” said Lt. Gov. Guadagno. “The Christie-Guadagno Administration’s policy of assertively protecting and pursing jobs for New Jerseyans is a major reason why the New Jersey Comeback is underway.”

Pearson will occupy five floors starting in 2014 and is relocating approximately 900 employees from its current offices in Upper Saddle River and Old Tappan, N.J. “Pearson and New Jersey share a deep commitment to attracting and retaining a talented professional workforce that will flourish in the vibrant and stimulating center for media, education, and digital services that has emerged within the excellent mass transit central location of Hoboken and the

Waterfront Corporate Center,” stated Glicini. “Toward this goal, we are relocating 900 employees from our Upper Saddle River and Old Tappan locations, to 225 River Street, a LEEDcertified building. Leveraging the natural light in this beautiful space means less artificial light usage during the day, thus reducing energy consumption.

Heating and air conditioning systems in the new location will be more efficient as a result of new innovations, technology and equipment.”

Added Glicini, “We extend our gratitude to the Governor and Lt. Governor for the State’s investment, as well as the support of the New York and New Jersey Port Authority, in our choice of this Hoboken location. Together along with our partner, SJP Properties, we are creating a green and affordable

waterfront home for our worldclass workforce and investing in the technology essential to Pearson’s mission to foster learning and achievement around the globe.”

“We are very excited to welcome Pearson and 900 of their employees to the Hoboken community,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “This is exactly the kind of green, smart development that Hoboken needs to support the continued economic growth of our local economy without burdening our infrastructure.

World-class companies like Pearson want to do business in Hoboken for the same reasons we all love to live here: we’re a bustling, walkable city with easy access to mass transit and New York City, a lively arts and music scene, packed sidewalk cafés, a vibrant nightlife, unique shops, and beautiful

waterfront parks.”

The 14-story office building is designed as New Jersey’s only waterfront LEED Silver Certified office development and incorporates numerous modern features, including floor-to-ceiling glass windows that permit natural light to penetrate deep into the floors.

Construction is scheduled to commence in fall of 2012 and will be completed in summer of 2014. The development will create more than 600 construction jobs.

“Waterfront Corporate Center III will be developed to incorporate the most advanced green technology and state-ofthe-art features among any new commercial development in the region, providing Pearson with a high-performance work environment to support its business operations,” stated Pozycki. ■

Hance Construction project reclaims dormant industrial site adjacent to historic Sparta Train Station

S

PARTA, NJ — Hance Construction has completed construction and renovation of Phase 1 of the New Station Park Recreation Complex, a 12,150 s/f, multibuilding facility located at 38 Station Rd. adjacent to the historic Sparta Train Station.

The Sparta Police Athletic League has signed a long-term lease with property owner Dermody Associates, Inc. for two of the spaces in the fourstructure, 10-acre complex, a former industrial site that had been dormant for over 20 years.

“We are excited that this property has been reclaimed for use by the community,” said Bill Dermody, a Sparta native who manages multiple properties owned by the Dermody family. “Hance Construction did an outstanding job working with us to adjust initial plans for the property and manage development issues. We place very high standards on all the properties we own in Sparta because of our multi-generation history in the community and Hance Construction really was key to maintaining that development integrity at the historic Station Road property.”

The New Station Park Recreation Complex features

of space with all the modern amenities for an office, shop or small restaurant right in Sparta Town Center.

“We love Sparta and when we bought the property three years ago we didn’t want to see the train station torn down,” said Dermody. “It’s one of the last stations standing in Sussex County of the 15 built by the New York, Susquehanna, and Western Railroad.

Day-to-day operations at the branch – which provides 24-hour banking via lobby and drive-up service combined with online capabilities and ATM – are managed by Rita Weimer, who worked at a Florham Park bank earlier

“What’s most significant about our new Florham Park branch is the added convenience it provides to our Morris County customers,” says David Orbach, chairman of Regal Bank, which is headquartered in Livingston.

“If they’ve been frequenting our Livingston and Roseland locations, they’ll have even easier access to us, since we’re now right in their

neighborhood.”

Most members of the new branch’s staff already have worked at one of Regal’s three other locations, so they’ll avoid the challenges common to new employees going through a training process.

“Another benefit to our opening a Florham Park office is that Regal Vice President Christina Slater was a banker in the town for years, and she’s never stopped interacting with local individuals and businesses,” explains Weimer.

“While this location is new, we’re starting off – between Christina’s background and mine -- with deep roots in the community.”

Regal Bank’s three other offices are at 570 W. Mount Pleasant Avenue (headquarters) and 504 South Livingston Avenue, both in Livingston, as well as 180 Eagle Rock Avenue in Roseland. The bank’s primary emphasis is on a complete range of financial products and services, offered primarily throughout Essex and Hudson counties. ■

“The property was nearly fully occupied with only one retail vacancy and one office vacancy,” said Gralla. ‘The purchasers were attracted not only to the location, but also to the property’s potential. The purchasers are working closely with an architect to renovate and reposition the property. I have great faith in the future of Hastings Square.”

John Taylor of M&T Realty Capital speaks at Feb. meeting

Multi-family Pipeline is “Booming” over Next 5 Years

W

OODBRIDGE, NJ — In 2008, the recession was “triggered by exuberance in the housing market coupled with financial engineering in the commerJohn Taylor cial mortgage market,” John Taylor, Managing Director, MultiFamily Finance for M&T Realty Capital Corp., told attendees at the February luncheon meeting of ICREW NJ at the Woodbridge Hilton. The subsequent bubble bursting with investments under water on the residential side resulted in a pullback across the board by the lending community.

“Ongoing market conditions in all commercial real estate sectors is foremost on all of our minds,” said Cheryl Hardt of CBRE, 2012 ICREW NJ president. “This in-depth report is a good example of the kind of information that we seek to provide our members.”

The irony is that while the real estate downturn might have begun in housing, other sectors, notably office, have struggled to come back while multi-family has rebounded in a big way, albeit as a changed industry. Part of the impetus for the bounce-back is attributed to the fact that “owners got very creative on rental pricing, terms and lease modifications to remain occupied in the downturn; it was a true tenant’s market,” Taylor said. Now, however, the rental market has become “a landlord’s market once again specifically for the right assets.”

One key change in the landscape: An upswing in rentals vs. home buying,

driven initially by the lack of financing during the recession and more recently by preferences and demographic trends. “A lot of original condominiums have gone rental because there was not enough financing nor enough demand to complete them as condominiums,” he explained. “The rental community, utilizing reduced rents, absorbed those that couldn‘t get financing.”

In the changing environment, “the spigot came back on in late 2009-2010,” he said. “The institutional buyers came back strong relating to market conditions and the maturity of capital. Now, the multifamily environment is one of stabilizing assets, skyrocketing values and lower cap rates.”

One caveat on the lending side: “For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s apartment lending side, projected property performance is great to see, however borrowers have to show what the numbers are now,” Taylor said. “‘Show us the supportable income and expense figures, and we’ll lend off of that’,” is the mantra.

At the same time, the demographic change has created a younger generation seeking high quality living with multiple amenities while allowing for flexibility in where they live. “The result is the traditional first home buyers in their 20’s to early 30’s are not buying a house today, yet they are savvy renters with specific requirements of their new residence.” The reality, of course, is that a quick jump in leasing velocity “has increased rents and property values creating a very competitive rental market now favoring the landlords.”

Taylor termed the pipe-

line for new multifamily as “booming over the next five years, more for apartments than condominiums, especially class A product in urban centers near train stations providing easy access to the strong job markets.”

There will still be a market for class B and C product, however, and it will be up to landlords “to keep properties viable. The rental market will remain very competitive, with substantial amenity packages. And, recognizing who your tenant is going to be is critical.”

I C R E W N J ’s m o n t h l y meetings traditionally support a philanthropy. The February philanthropy garnered donations for the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. “A most worthy cause, and we appreciate the strong response,” Hardt said.

Thomson & Pierce executed on behalf of the seller

Marcus & Millichap broker the $ 6.4m sale of the Water View Court Apartments

C

L AY M O N T, D E — Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, has announced the sale of Water View Court Apartments, a 120 unit apartments property located in Claymont, DE, according to Spencer Yablon, Regional Manager of the firm’s Philadelphia office.

The asset commanded a sale price of $6,400,000 or $53,333 per unit.

Mark Thomson, Associate Vice President Investments, and Zachary Pierce, Associate, both out of the Philadelphia office of Marcus & Millichap, successfully executed the marketing of the property on behalf of the seller, one of the nation’s largest student

Water View Court Apartments housing REITs. The buyer, a private investor, was also procured by Thomson and Pierce.

“Water View Court was sold to the student housing REIT as part of a portfolio acquisition

sold by Marcus & Millichap in 2008,” says Pierce. “The portfolio consisted of 704 units in Newark, Delaware, close to the University of Delaware campus,” he added. Since the

Insight plans construction of 310 unit, $75m Class A apartment bldg.

SILVER SPRING, MD — Last week McLean-based apartment developer Insight Property Group, with partner Nova-Habitat, Inc, settled on the Postal Service’s Silver Spring Post Office site, located two blocks from the Silver Spring Metro Station at 8616 Second Avenue. Insight plans to start construction of its proposed 310 unit, $75,000,000 Class A apartment project on the former United States Post Service property in the 4th quarter of 2012.

“This property is a gateway location in the Silver Spring Central Business District, with great access and visibility”, according to Sarah Davidson, a partner at Insight.

“Our residents will ride on Metro and walk to restaurants, entertainment and major downtown employers.”

The Silver Spring Post Office property is Insight’s eighth acquisition in the past two years. It represents the fourth Metro-oriented apartment development site purchased by the Company and the second in the last three months. In November, Insight acquired a large property in the emerging H Street NE corridor of

portfolio acquisition in 2008, the REIT spent a significant amount of time and money to renovate and rebrand the Newark properties as Studio Green Apartments. The properties sustained substantial unit renovations with the addition of a state-of-the-art clubhouse featuring a pool, lounge and indoor basketball court. “Water View Court was a market rate apartment complex that did not fit into the REIT’s portfolio of student housing properties” says Thomson. “We have worked with the client since the portfolio acquisition to assist in management strategies and help to determine the appropriate time to sell,” he noted.

“Apartments are currently

the most sought after asset class and with interest rates at an all time low, now is a great time to be a seller.’

Water View Court Apartments is located at 361 Harbor Drive in Claymont, Delaware, with excellent visibility from I-495 and over 75,000 vehicles daily. The property consists of 24 one bedroom and 96 two bedroom units.

At the time of the sale the property was in fair physical condition. However, during the marketing process, economic occupancy had slipped to the low 80 percent range.

The buyer intends to stabilize the asset by making physical improvements and implementing a more hands-on management approach. ■

8616 Second Avenue Washington, DC. In addition to the properties in the Company’s existing portfolio, Insight is under contract on several other development sites including property near an existing metro station in Fairfax County and another high-profile site on H Street, NE in Washington, DC. Last fall, Insight broke ground on its Grayson Flats apartment project near Arlington’s Courthouse Metro.

The property, which is scheduled for delivery in late 2012, is being constructed by Clark

Builders Group. The company also owns a site at Arlington’s Rosslyn Metro which is still in planning.

According to Insight principal Michael Blum, financing for the company’s latest purchase in Silver Spring was provided by Bethesda-based Eagle Bank. Construction financing for its in-progress Arlington project was provided by Tysons-based Cardinal Bank, which also provided acquisition financing for Insight’s purchase of its H Street site. ■

GLASGOW, DE — U.S. Representative John Carney, New Castle County Executive Paul Clark and other officials cut the ribbon at 2812 Pulaski Highway in Glasgow at what will be the first food facility and the first convenience store to be LEED® certified in New Castle County. John Kemp, President of Royal Farms, thanked Emory Hill and Company of New Castle, more than 20 Delaware contractors and the many officials who worked to make this state-of-the-art location a reality.

“It’s always nice to see a business expanding in Delaware, particularly one that is a good corporate citizen and is focused on providing quality products while saving energy,”

said Congressman Carney. “I welcome Royal Farms to the Glasgow area, and am happy to hear that they will continue to create jobs and grow throughout the state.”

Emory Hill was the General Contractor for this energy and water efficient convenience store, which is to receive LEED® Certification. Emory Hill was also just awarded the contract to manage construction of another Royal Farms in Georgetown, DE which will break ground soon.

“We are happy to continue our relationship with Royal Farms as they build more locations within Delaware,” said Bob Liberato, Business Development Director and Chief Estimator for Emory Hill and Company. ■

Dover, Delaware is located in the geographic center of the state and serves as the Historic Capital City, the County Seat and home to the majority of State of Delaware governmental offices. In addition, Dover is home to one of the largest Air Force bases in the country, the Dover Air Force Base (DAFB) which special-

The Town’s residential growth has blossomed as Delaware’s county government to the north imposed a restrictive growth code driving local developers and homeowners to seek refuge to the south near Smyrna.

CIRC president Ellis awards Armstrong for great service CIRC president, Greg Ellis, a broker with Patterson-Woods Commercial Properties, awarded Jayne Armstrong, SBA district director, with a plaque commemorating CIRC’s appreciation for her great service to the commercial and industrial real estate community in Delaware, through her support and tireless promotion of the SBA’s 504 Loan program for commercial real estate loans.

At CIRC’s February Membership meeting, Jayne Armstrong and Michael Rossi, of the Delaware District U.S. Small Business Administration office, provided an informative presentation about their small business successes, programs, and the benefits of the 504 commercial real estate loan program.

Jayne Armstrong, announced she was leaving for a similar post in Richmond, Virginia. Armstrong, who arrived at the Delaware job in 1999 as Delaware’s first director, will be director of the SBA’s Virginia district office. “It’s time to move on to a new challenge, and I’m kind of driven by challenges” Armstrong said.

Clark announces job plans for New Castle County At CIRC’s March 14 membership meeting, County Executive Paul G. Clark discussed his six-point jobs program to attract, keep and expand employment opportunities for New Castle County residents.

Clark discussed his “Sowing Seeds, Growing Jobs” program, one of the initiatives he previewed in his State of the County address last month, which includes a tax incentive for businesses, aid for economically distressed neighborhoods, promotion of local goods and services, designation of a small business advocate, a more efficient development review process, and additional investment in sewers, libraries, and parks.

The centerpiece of “Sowing seeds, Growing Jobs” is legislation that would grant a partial exemption from property taxes to business that invest at least $50,000 in new construction of commercial or manufacturing facilities in unincorporated areas of the county. The exemption would be available starting July 1, 2012 and ending March 30, 2015. Qualified businesses would be eligible for a three-year exemption from the increase in New Castle County property taxes that would have resulted from their property being reassessed due to the new construction.

The proposed exemption is to address the struggling state of non-residential development in the county. Retail market vacancies are near 11%, a 20-year high. The office vacancy rate is 21.2% compared t the national rate of 12.5%. Plans for non-residential development submitted to the county are down an average of 46 percent from 2009 to 2011 compared to the 10-year average.

CIRC President Greg Ellis, said that “In this flat real estate market, the commercial and industrial real estate community welcomes a financial incentive like this that will tip the balance to motivate someone to hire and invest.” Support for the legislation has come from leaders of our business community, including from Delaware Economic Development Office, New Castle County Chamber of Commerce, Delaware Building & Construction Trades Council, and the Committee of 100.

residents.”

As the region’s largest builder trade show, the convention will bring together leading decision-makers from developers to contractors. The event is expected to attract roughly 6,500 attendees, and more than 450 exhibitors.

Garden State’s CRE Professionals get head start on new continuing education requirements

TriState launches The Commercial Real Estate School of NJ with successful first course offering

E

DISON, NJ — School is in session for New Jersey’s commercial real estate community. On Feb. 28, TriState REALTORS® Commercial Alliance — a leading advocate and provider of continuing education for commercial real estate practitioners in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware — introduced The Commercial Real Estate School of New Jersey to a packed house at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison.

The well-attended course, Cost Segregation For The Commercial Broker, was led by instructor Jerry H. Kootman, CPA, of Cost Recovery Solutions, LLC, and provided attendees with a comprehensive tutorial on how to use cost segregation analysis to help create more value for their client base.

Jonathan Glick The Commercial Real Estate School of New Jersey differentiates itself by offering courses specific to the business of today’s commercial real estate market. The school is designed to help brokers meet the state’s newly established qualifications for license renewal. In order to qualify for renewal or to reinstate a license, the New Jersey Real Estate Commission now requires that every broker, salesperson or broker-salesperson complete 12 hours of continuing education — six hours of core topics and six hours of electives — by July 1, 2013.

“The great success of The Commercial Real Estate School of New Jersey’s first course offering is extremely encouraging,” said Jonathan Glick, TriState’s New Jersey Vice President. “We knew there was a need for courses designed specifically for the brokerage community in New Jersey, and the high number of attendees helps to validate our decision to introduce the school. It’s gratifying to be able to aid New Jersey’s commercial real estate professionals in this way.”

Utilizing a model that has proved to be successful in Pennsylvania and Delaware, TriState’s New Jersey school offers specialized courses that fall within the core and elective topics required by the state. Other course topics will include Crash Course in CRE Ethics and Land Use, Sustainability in Commercial Real Estate and Office Leasing, and Supply and Demand in a Recovering Market.

“While this first course was a great opportunity for brokers in New Jersey to get a head start on meeting the state’s new CE requirements, there will be many more course offerings to follow,” Glick said. “We urge all commercial professionals in New Jersey to come find out what it’s like to attend a school that is tailored specifically to their needs.”

Founded in 1993, the TriState REALTORS® Commercial Alliance is a leading advocate for commercial real estate professionals in New Jersey, Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania.

AWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Empowering women and minorities, through physical space and career development, is what motivated – and continues to inspire – Christiana FoglioP a l m e r , Christiana Fogliofounder and Palmer chief executive officer of Community Investment Strategies, Inc. A 25+-year real estate development veteran, she is not just a savvy businesswoman who has doubled the WBE-certified real estate development company’s volume in the past several years. Foglio-Palmer is a wife, mother and mentor committed to creating an organization for employees and homes for tenants that support and promote a work/life balance.

“There is a new level of awareness that people, regardless of income level, are defined by where they live and where they work,” said FoglioPalmer, whose company boasts a multi-family portfolio of 2,000+ units valued in excess of $350 million.

Guided by Foglio-Palmer’s public service, professional planning and private development expertise, CIS specializes in affordable, market-rate and senior housing initiatives. “We build for the long-term and are guided by a ‘with you for life’ philosophy that goes beyond just bricks and mortar,” she said.

As a for-profit, boutique real estate company, CIS expects to double its size in the next five years. “Affordable housing

is now being implemented in urban and suburban markets to serve as a catalyst for local economic development,” said Foglio-Palmer. “These types of projects no longer have the stigma once attached to them.

New benchmarks for planning, design, construction and management have propelled affordable housing into a new era, and we have been very successful at establishing ourselves as a trailblazer in this niche.”

The company distinguishes itself from its competitive set by providing in-house finance, development, construction and on-site property management services. These services are an extension of the company’s commitment to build valueadded communities for area residents, children, municipalities and local businesses by repositioning unproductive properties and land parcels.

“We build and maintain communities where we would live ourselves, serving a demographic of mostly women and minorities that reflects our own company,” added FoglioPalmer.

Since a majority of CIS’ tenants are female minorities, the CIS team feels it is not only important, but imperative to promote gender and ethnic diversity on a company-wide and community-wide basis. Led by Foglio-Palmer, the senior-level management team includes vice presidents Theresa Reed and Barbara Schoor; and Elsie Velez, chief financial officer.

“We have a team of professionals and support staff that have the ability to make a difference.

We are doing just that, each and every day. That feels good,” said Reed.

“Since day one, CIS has been attracting, hiring, retaining and promoting the most talented and ethnically diverse professionals, many of whom are tomorrow’s leaders,” said Foglio-Palmer. “We support them on a professional level, by encouraging them to take risks and pursue senior-level positions, and we support them in their roles as mothers, daughters and caregivers by offering them flexibility.”

The company also hires locally based female- and minority-owned subcontracting firms for each development project as standard practice to support economic and business growth.

This philosophy also extends to the people of all ages who call a CIS community their home.

From intergenerational mentoring programs at affordable senior housing communities, to after-school care, resumewriting programs and computer training at communities designed for low-to-moderate income households, CIS’ diversity inspires others.

Based in Lawrenceville, N.J., CIS is widely acknowledged for its dedication to developing the most appropriate low-tomoderate housing options and has been consistently recognized for its award-winning communities, business model, corporate citizenship and advocacy. The company is a past recipient of the Corporation for Supportive Housing and Supportive Housing Association of NJ Supportive Housing Award, Top Woman-Owned Business in New Jersey Award, Van Zandt Community Involvement Award and the Urban Land Institute’s Edward J. Bloustein Award for Exemplary Achievement in Civic Leadership. ■

Regal Bank’s Roseland making a difference LIVINGSTON, NJ — One local business has been making quite an impression on the Roseland community since its arrival in spring 2011.

The bank fosters recreational opportunities by donating to help maintain Little League fields, while providing uniforms for the town’s third and fourth grade soccer teams. In addition, the non-profit Roseland Junior Women’s Club has received financial support for its own offerings to the community.

“We consider ourselves

CENTRAL PA

By Russell J. Bardolf, Jr., CCIM, SIOR, ROCK Commercial

What does it take to bring a property back to life?

I

magine yourself, as a real estate broker, in the following scenario: What do you do to match a buyer with a 62,000 square foot former manufacturing building in d o w n t o w n Russell Bardolf setting that has limited parking, has been mainly vacant, and missed the bubble of opportunity for conversion into residential living spaces?

You hope to get lucky.

The 62,000 s/f building at 210-236 York Street in the City of York in Pennsylvania dates back to the early 1940’s with various ownership and uses. This list includes a publishing and typesetting company, a youth center that didn’t come to fruition, then changed into the hands of a residential developer, and finally landed with local investors that bought the building in 2008. These investors were able to rent some of the space in the building and searched, with the help of ROCK Commercial Real Estate, for more potential tenant and buyer

opportunities.

The key to the recent sale of this particular building and its future redevelopment was found outside of the normal marketing efforts. Creative thinking, an interest in their hometown, and the ability to invest substantial money in the building were the ingredients that Think Loud Development, made up of former “Live” band members and current “The Gracious Few” band members, brought to this project. It is the hometown investor’s connections; along with input, motivation and vision that will bring this

York Street property back to life.

The times are a changing and companies from across the country may be buying the building right down the street. Investors that have a larger field of vision can see redevelopment on a scale at which we are not accustomed to seeing at a local level. Think Loud Investments used their global connections to make this project a reality for their vision and the City of York.

The lesson learned is that the professional real estate broker of today is firmly connected to the immediate area

CENTRAL PA

By Zachary Pierce, Marcus & Millichap Taylor-Zang

For Central PA’s multi-family owners, it’s shaping up to be a profitable year!

I

f the first quarter of 2012 is an indicator of what lies ahead for Central Pennsylvania multi-family owners, it is shaping up to be a profitable year for operators who are well positioned.

Likewise, op- Zachary Pierce portunities to make new investments continue to surface for those investors who know where to look.

At this time last year, multifamily investors were cautiously optimistic having just weathered the storm of “The Great Recession.� It is apparent that, although challenges remain in the economy, we are unlikely to slip back into recession. Operators a year ago were reporting a significant decrease in concessions being offered to maintain stable occupancy rates and some were even boasting a modicum of rent growth. Employment numbers have begun to slowly improve despite election year mudslinging, and those operators who raised the sail last year have found that there is a full on tail wind for multifamily operations, with rising rents and occupancies.

Now that the dazzling light of new homeownership has been eclipsed by the reality of the worst foreclosure market in history, the rental market has once again emerged as a cost effective and convenient housing solution for all social demographics. Many of the apartments in Central Pennsylvania were built between 1960 and 1975. In this category there is an array of options for potential renters across all income levels. Some of these complexes remain outdated and appeal to a lower income class while others have undergone significant renovations and are achieving the higher end of mid-market rents. The highest end of the market is being dictated by new construction projects that boast a full amenity package and offer luxuries that would be expected at a five star resort. Still, all of these options has seen an increase in renter activity over the past six months and there are quite a few new projects expected to break ground in Central Pennsylvania markets in 2012. Due

to lower cost of land and less expensive construction costs, Central Pennsylvania is seeing more development that other markets including the immediate suburbs outside of Philadelphia The improvements in multifamily fundamentals in combination with historically low interest rates have led to an increase in transactional velocity. Government sponsored enterprises (GSE’s) or agency lenders including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are currently offering interest rates in the 4 percent range with attractive terms. Local commercial banks have typically offered loans

approximately 50 basis points higher. This has led to a compression of capitalization rates and an increase in achievable sale prices for apartment assets. Many investors that felt they missed the opportunity to achieve the higher sale prices of 2006 and 2007 are now realizing this opportunity has returned. Combined with a surplus of capital and pent up buyer demand, 2012 is proving to be a fruitful year for buyers and sellers alike.

The investors that are poised to capitalize on the opportunities of an improving market are those that are the most prepared and educated about

trends in their marketplace.

Investment brokers are reporting a rapid increase in property evaluations. Investors want to know what their properties are worth and how they are positioned in the competitive marketplace. They want to know how much equity they have tied up in their properties. They want to see opportunities and be poised to take advantage of them. The biggest risk to any investor is not having a strategy. Whether investors have strategy of growth, value add strategy or disposition strategy, it is imperative that they know the current value of their assets and how

they sit in the competitive set.

Far too many investors don’t understand their own assets.

Many more see great opportunities that they aren’t in a position to take advantage of.

The key today is to understand your asset(s), understand your marketplace, have a strategy, and be prepared to act quickly when the right opportunity presents itself.

Zachary Pierce is an associate director of Marcus & Millichap’s National Multi-Housing Group and specializes in the sale of apartments in Philadelphia Metro and Central Pennsylvania markets. â–

J

ENKINS, PA — Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services, the developer of the fast-growing CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park in Jenkins and Pittston Townships, has begun constructing a 120,416 s/f speculative flex building in the park.

Work is well underway on the project site, a 22.78 acre parcel located at 501-575 Keystone Avenue in Jenkins Township.

Steel will arrive on the site in April.

The new building will be the first constructed by Mericle in CenterPoint East’s new Phase IIC section. Like Mericle’s other flex buildings, the facility has been designed to accommodate manufacturing, distribution, office, and medical firms. However, this building will be the most visible built in the park to date.

“The building will be located a stone’s throw from I-81 and I-476 and will be seen from both highways,” said Mericle Vice

Besecker estimates that the building will house four to eight tenants and more than 100 jobs when fully occupied.

lighting, 13 loading doors and a ceiling clear height from 30’1” to 34’3”.

Besecker said the building will be ready for tenants in late summer, 2012.

Toll Brothers, developers of the Hudson Tea Complex in Hoboken, continue to work their magic in what is often called the sixth borough. Their 1450 Washington building is more than 50 percent sold even though the sales office has only been open since October and the building isn’t even complete yet. The building features more than 30 attractive floor plans, 24-hour concierge, gorgeous rooftop living space, fitness center and a children’s playroom complete with a real boat. With amenities like these, it’s no wonder that prices are rising, allowing the early buyers to see appreciated profit before even moving in - a dynamic not seen since 2006.

Christiana Meadows, Bear, DE

Size (square footage/acreage): 648-unit, garden-style apartment complex Broker(s): Originated by Brian Sykes, vice president based out of the Boston, MA office Beech Street provided a $32 million Fannie Mae structured adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to refinance Christiana Meadows, which enabled the owner to approximate the net cash flow made possible by its taxexempt floating rate bonds. The structured ARM, particularly its initial pay rate, provided a better alternative than a fixed-rate loan or turning to a new LIBOR-based floating rate mortgage in hopes that rates would remain low. To further enhance the net cash flow, Beech Street provided four years of interest-only on the 10-year loan, since the monthly amortization payments are less under the structured ARM than a floating-rate note.

StonebridgeCarras and PN Hoffman have been working with Montgomery County since 2005 to re-develop the County’s two surface parking lots (commonly referred to as Lots 31 and 31A) into a vibrant mixed-use project.

Gateway Transit Village in New Brunswick, NJ

Type of mixed-use: Residential – Retail – Commercial – Parking Size (square footage/acreage): 635,000 s/f/1.6 acres Located in downtown New Brunswick adjacent to the train station and across from the main campus of Rutgers University, the 24-story facility is bringing renewed life to a previously underutilized site with 192 new residential units, life-style retail, including a Barnes & Noble bookstore and a destination restaurant, Class-A commercial space with expansive views of the Raritan River, structured parking for 700 vehicles, and a direct, park-like pedestrian walkway from Rutgers’ main campus to the Northeast corridor train platform. Construction for Gateway Transit Village, a public-private partnership, was recently completed.

Category of project: Residential, Commercial, Smart Growth, Solar Array, and Green Building Design Civil Engineer: Van Cleef Engineering Associates Intensity of the project: Originally a 70 acre site subdivided into two lots (5.01 and 5.02) Solar Array: A six acre array will provide 40% of the power to the office building.

Power to the office building was intermittent causing multiple outages and voltage drops during high peak times. The solar array provided the opportunity for consistent power during the high demand times such as summer days when the sun and heat are strong.

Montgomery Township was quick to grasp the need to have power stability at the office building to maintain its major tenant, Johnson and Johnson, who occupy over 160,000 s/f of the building.

The most significant challenge came in the location of the array. The roof was too small to provide sufficient power and the parking lot would require complete reconfiguration.

Right SPACE 2,000 to 12,000 SF Right PRICE starting below $20.00 PSF Right NOW pre-built & furnished units available

A premier office setting and a rare opportunity… first-class office facility with best-in-class amenities including a full building atrium, café and fitness center located in a highly attractive campus with stunning interiors and a Blue Chip tenant roster.

The Favorite/Most Unusual Engineering Project of 2011 M&E Engineers, Inc. Verizon - Chiller Plant Replacement — HVAC Renovation —

K&W Engineers & Consultants PSECU — New Corporate HQ —

M&E Engineers performed MEP engineering services for the replacement of three complete chiller plants totaling 1,750 tons at Verizon’s New Brunswick Telephone Switch Central Office and Data Center. Project was designed and prequalified in conjunction with NJ Smart Start energy rebate program. Project work included: survey and documentation of existing conditions, design of two 500 ton N+1 water cooled chiller plants, design of one 125 ton N+1 air cooled chiller plant Chiller with full chilled water economizer capabilities, and associated supporting power equipment (MCC with integral VFD capability).

It also included an up-grade of BAS systems including all AHU control valves, damper controls and chiller optimization system.

M&E designed the three plants with a construction logistics plan that allowed them to all be replaced without shutting down this mission critical facility. Project challenges included: 1) Providing Cooling Tower cooling through the use of air side economizer to all temperature sensitive spaces while demolishing existing chiller plants and erecting new; 2) Controlled shut down of 7th floor data center during modification of existing chilled water piping; and 3) Meeting an aggressive schedule (5.5 months from bidding to plant completion). This was a $5m project and we secured $125k in energy rebates for Verizon.

Development of this new corporate headquarters campus included acquisition of land from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, addressing an existing abandoned landfill area within the property, and securing of a zoning variance from the local municipality prior to initiation of design. Proposed improvements include substantial offsite roadway improvements (i.e. two new traffic signals, addition of turn lanes, road widening), multiple stormwater management facilities, parking facilities for approximately 770 vehicles, significant offsite sewer and water utility extensions, a campus-wide pedestrian walking path, and extensive landscaping / hardscape areas.

The sheer magnitude of this project and the associated scope of required improvements make this a signature project in the K&W portfolio. We provided all of the design, analysis, permitting, approvals, and construction documentation services required for every aspect of the project’s site development. Among other things, the extensive coordination efforts undertaken with governmental and regulatory agencies at all levels, the need to significantly extend public utilities and provide major roadway improvements to serve this previously undeveloped site, and the incorporation of varied and innovative features in pursuit of a LEED Gold certification all combined to yield a truly challenging and rewarding experience. It was a genuine pleasure to be part of the design team led by Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates Architects and to work with PSECU’s outstanding and visionary leadership in making this project become a reality.

The Favorite/Most Unusual Engineering Project of 2011 Falcon Engineering, Architecture & Energy Consultants Camelot Condominium Association — Exterior Façade Restoration —

Falcon was hired to design, bid & provide construction management services for this 19-story luxury highrise building. The entire original exterior façade required reconstruction due to original construction defects. Original estimates through litigation included displacement of all residents and removal & replacement of exterior panel wall assemblies with estimated cost >$10M. Falcon was able to design a program to achieve the work while allowing all residents to remain in the apartments with minimal disturbance, saving over $5M on project cost & allowing building to garner monies from NJBPU Pay for Performance Program to assist in paying for the energy related upgrades.

Falcon chose to bid this project because of the combination of energy savings, increasing curb appeal and the nuts and bolts engineering problems and the recladding and structural repair work that was necessary fit perfectly into our business model. The challenges of reducing the budget and allowing residents to remain in their apartments while achieving and exceeding the goals of the original project plan were appealing.

Falcon internally has multi-disciplined engineers, architects, energy specialists and code experts that specialize in existing facilities and retrofits, making the Camelot project a perfect fit for the firm.

Nave Newell, Inc. Valley Forge Casino Resort — Redevelopment —

Nave Newell provided land development services for the redevelopment of the Valley Forge Convention Center into a new casino resort. Site renovations consisted of alterations to the circulation, main driveway, and parking lot layout and associated re-grading as well as modifications to the stormwater and sanitary sewer conveyance systems servicing the site. Nave Newell updated the topography plan, performed sewer capacity calculations, designed the stormwater collection system, improved the site layout and circulation to provide parking for 2,300 vehicles and provided landscape, lighting and signage improvements. This project is currently under construction and plans to be open spring 2012.

Since starting this project in 2007, we have faced much design, legislative and funding hurdles, but it is very exciting to see it taking shape as a highly anticipated regional entertainment/resort destination. Working on a redevelopment project of this caliber involves many challenges, particularly maintaining an operational facility during construction, as well as successfully handling unforeseen underground constraints while maintaining the very tight timeline for opening. Despite the complexities of this project, construction is currently moving along at a rapid pace and is on target for an early spring opening.

The Favorite/Most Unusual Engineering Project of 2011 Bohler Engineering, Inc. Einstein Medical Center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hospital Facility and Medical Office Building â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Albert Einstein Healthcare Network is building a 224-bed, regional medical center on an 83 acre site, which was previously the home of Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Center, in East Norriton Township. The project includes a 380,000 s/f, five-story hospital facility, a 75,000 s/f, two-story medical office building, structured parking and 1,200 parking spaces. The design also includes a helipad to support the proposed trauma center.

Bohler Engineering obtained all the required municipal and outside agency approvals for the project, and performed a significant stormwater analysis, incorporating vegetated swales and rain gardens where possible to handle run-off. In addition, the project requires an off-site water and sewer extension.

LEED design and administration are required, as Einstein is seeking certification from the USGBC. The project received preliminary approval in December 2008 and final approval was received in May 2009. Construction commenced in the Summer of 2010, and the Grand Opening is scheduled for September 2012.

Why was this particular job your favorite/most unusual? Einstein Medical Center Montgomery will be the first completely new hospital to be built in PA in more than 10 years.

AEHN is seeking LEED Silver Certification for the facility (and has been preliminarily approved), and as such required extensive and creative stormwater management design both on and off-site.

Bohler engineering is proud to be a part of Aehnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Development Team for the new einstein Medical Center.

The FaVorIte/MoSt UnUSUal general ContraCtIng ProJeCt of 2011 Stanker and galetto Schar USa Project — Industrial —

Schar USA gluten-free food manufacturing facility in Gloucester County, NJ In 2011, Stanker & galetto, a Vineland general contracting firm, was hand-picked to build the largest industrial construction project in southern New Jersey in 2011 – the Schar USA gluten-free food manufacturing facility in Gloucester County. The Italian company’s 50,000 s/f building was built on eight acres and is the company’s first U.S. manufacturing facility.

Schar USA invested more than $15 million into the operation and is expected to create 50 jobs in the area. Stanker & Galetto was instrumental in bringing Schar to the USA: “This is a watershed moment in the history of economic development in South Jersey,” said Peter Galetto, president of Stanker & Galetto.

Stanker & Galetto pursued the $15 million, Schar USA project knowing that it would be the largest construction project in New Jersey in 2011, and would provide an economic boost to the state. The project was planned at 50,000 square feet, but Schar USA’s belief in the state as a place of opportunity led them to allow for an upcoming expansion to 80,000 square feet based on projected company growth. “Schar could have chosen any number of locations for this facility, but they chose South Jersey because of the opportunities for company growth, labor development and proximity to transportation,” said Peter Galetto, President of Stanker & Galetto.

Hance Construction new Station Park recreation Complex — new Construction and renovation —

38 Station Road, Sparta, NJ Hance Construction has completed construction and renovation of the New Station Park Recreation Complex, a 12,150 s/f, multi-building facility located at 38 Station Road, Sparta, NJ adjacent to the historic Sparta Train Station. The Sparta Police Athletic League has signed a long-term lease with property owner Dermody Associates, Inc. for two of the buildings in the four-structure, 10-acre complex, a former industrial site that had been dormant for over 20 years. The New Station Park Recreation Complex features two new Butler Manufacturing metal buildings and two renovated buildings with Butler walls and roofs as well as The Simple Saver System, an insulation product that can reduce energy costs by as much as 50 percent during a building’s lifetime.

“We worked with the Dermody team to make sure the facility met their needs and the end result is a highly sustainable, environment-friendly facility,” said Art Hance, President of Hance Construction. “The Station Road project is a good example of the fact that metal roofs and walls offer an unbeatable level of environmental performance and aesthetic appeal. Metal buildings today are sustainable, have low impact on the environment, reduce solid waste in construction, help reduce energy usage in all climates, and improve the air quality and water efficiency in buildings and their surroundings.”

The FaVorIte/MoSt UnUSUal general ContraCtIng ProJeCt of 2011 Mc gowan Builders, Inc. the Dream Downtown, new york — redevelopment —

allied Building Corporation Ben Franklin techVentures2 — Incubator Facility for Start-Up Cos. —

The project scope included the removal of the entire curtain wall, demolition of a building section, creation of a courtyard and separation of the structure into two buildings, demolition of all interiors, expansion of the North Tower by one floor and expansion of the South Tower by four floors. the Mc gowan Builders team installed a new curtain wall with custom, round windows and constructed a suspended pool above the restaurant space with a transparent acrylic bottom. In addition to the complete interior build out with luxury finishes, the construction required all new MEP and building systems.

100 word description of why you chose this project: This project was chosen because of its originality. Dream Downtown’s modernist façade houses loft inspired guestrooms and suites, a landscaped outdoor terrace with heated pool and innovative concept dining. The hotel also features a beach club and an expansive destination rooftop lounge offering dramatic views of the resplendent New York City Skyline. The Dream Downtown has become a hot spot for numerous celebrities.

The new four-story TechVentures2 building is linked to the original Ben Franklin TechVentures facility and provides additional wet lab, office and meeting space. The building, which is targeting LEED Gold certification and ENERGY STAR designation, features a high efficiency curtain wall system, precast façade panels, a central pyramid-shaped solarium allowing sunlight to flow into the fourth floor and down through a portion of glass flooring into the third floor, rooftop photovoltaic panels as well as other sun harvesting technology to supplement electrical requirements, numerous energy-saving devices, two elevators, advanced audio/visual systems and state-of-the-art conference center.

There were many difficult and diverse challenges: managing a project for a 501(c)3 client that received significant federal and state funding; severe space limitations with construction occurring at the main entrance of a major college campus; complex flash coordination of underground utilities was required; a two-phase approach was needed with phase one being the construction of a separate parking deck prior to starting the phase two TechVentures 2 building; providing uninterrupted operations at the original TechVentures facility including the subsequent tie-in to the new building; incorporating state-of-the-art green building and energy conservation measures; and managing the LEED Gold certification and ENERGY STAR designation efforts.

Rte. 14, Paramus NJ

Oak Hall Residence, NJIT in Newark, New Jersey

Full service fitness center including a swimming pool, sauna and spa, Racquetball Courts, Cardio and weight rooms, cycling, full court basketball court, Pro Shop and Kid’s Club.

The fitness center was retrofitted into the shell of an old tenplex movie theater. The original 1966 Loews was a single screen, 2000 Seat Theater with a massive balcony. Over the years the main room had been divided up with smaller theaters attached around it. Studio 5 Partnership provided core and shell design for the building and worked with 24 Hour Fitness’s interior architect on the conversion. There’s now a pool in theater 5 and the original 2000 seat theater is open again, but this time with cardio machines on the balcony overlooking a basketball court in the orchestra below.

Jarmel Kizel’s team of architects and engineers designed a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) at its Oak Hall residence located at 155 Summit St. For this project, Jarmel Kizel’s Energy Solutions studio was led by Matthew B. Jarmel, AIA, MBA. Jarmel Kizel also provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering services and Structural Engineering services.

Jarmel Kizel Energy Solutions design studio assists and educates our clients on energy upgrades that help make buildings and spaces more energy efficient and also reduce costs. This project will ultimately reduce energy costs by over 50 percent. This project is in keeping with the renewable energy portfolio standard, which mandates that 20 percent of the power sold in the NJ must come from clean, renewable energy sources by the year 2020.

260 Outwater Lane in Carlstadt, New Jersey DMr provided professional services for the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC) at River Barge Park, a park and marina located on 5 acres of the shore of the Hackensack River. The site contains three buildings for storage of the NJMC boat fleet, crew shells, canoes and kayaks, a sub-station for the NJ State Marine Police, and an open-air park educational pavilion structure.

The completion of the project at River Barge Park fulfilled a long-term goal of the Meadowlands Commission to preserve open space and provide public access to the Hackensack River for recreation and environmental education. The DMR team worked hard to create a beautiful space that highlights the park’s landscape and encourages residents throughout the state to enjoy the natural beauty of the outdoors. Designed to LEED guidelines, DMR is proud to have helped the Meadowlands Commission achieve such an important goal and promote the beauty of our environment.

The Favorite/Most Unusual Architecture Project of 2011 RSC Architects Hudson County Community College — Higher Education – New Construction —

Aztec Architects Pearson — Corporate Office Interiors —

The new seven-story satellite campus of Hudson County Community College houses classrooms, administrative offices, student commons, media center, science labs, campus store, and a fitness center. A soaring, three-story lobby welcomes students and visitors into the building, and an outdoor courtyard provides a quiet space away from the public.

Other exterior features are a six-story curved curtain wall system and a 100-foot-tall clock tower. The unique design incorporates several sustainable elements, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting tanks, daylight and occupancy sensors, recycled materials, low flow fixtures, light shelves, and high-efficiency mechanical equipment. Accordingly, the facility is slated to receive LEED certification.

The project is unique in many ways, especially given how many features were fit into such a small footprint. The site was specifically selected due to its location next to an existing NJ Transit bus depot and the Bergenline Avenue Station of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. A glass-enclosed pedestrian bridge spans across the bus lanes and connects the campus with the transit hub via a new stair tower with elevator. This transit village concept ties into the surrounding community, and allows students arriving by mass transit to conveniently access the building through a separate secured entrance. Furthermore, this portion of the project was funded entirely by Hudson County.

Pearson is the leading educational publishing firm in the world. Aztec provided them with the interior architectural and relocation services. The scope was to help them down size and right size their space. The project was completed in three separate phases. The result was a contemporary open environment that allows collaboration and interaction while providing a soothing color pallett of blues and greens. Aztec also created shared huddle rooms, open collaboration area’s as well as a small meeting center and a breakout area. The overall result was an open attractive collaboration.

This was a very challenging project as the construction had to be done in three phases while the premises were occupied. There were many interim moves to help keep the process going as well as to allow Pearson to keep doing business without interruption.

The old space was very traditional office space with offices ringing the perimeter window and 65” high workstations in the center. The colors where also dark giving the entire space a closed feeling. Aztec lightened the color and opened up all the window line for everyone to enjoy. We created a new workstation standard to allow collaboration and light into the space as well as significantly reducing the amount of offices. All the offices are placed in the interior. The transformation is a whole new look and feel that Pearson will enjoy for years to come.

Serving as a lead real estate attorney for several of the largest, most significant and complex transactions currently ongoing in New Jersey, including (1) the state’s sale of the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park racetracks; and (2) Bayer HealthCare’s purchase of the former Alcatel-Lucent campus in Hanover, left vacant in 2009.

The significance of these two matters to our region is vast. The racetrack sales are headline news as part of NJ’s focus on reducing budget gaps; they involve complex corporate, finance, tax, real estate, environmental, labor, and permitting issues and, if consummated, would result in the continuation of the state’s horse racing industry. The Bayer relocation involves 2,500 New Jersey employees and significant office, warehouse, and R&D facilities, and it also assists the state in retaining its considerable pharmaceutical capability.

Retirement Plan, Health Insurance, Profit Sharing, Performance Based Reviews, Maternity/Paternity Leave, Tuition Reimbursement, and special perks such as free parking or paid metro, catered lunch every Friday, and half day Fridays during the summer months.

Mt. Laurel, NJ Metro is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012 and many of the employees have been here for almost the entire 25 years. Metro is like a family – we seek to provide the best work location, benefits, salaries and other perks for our employees.

At CBRE, the commitment and dedication of our employees forms the foundation of our business and is what enables us to deliver superior service to our clients. Because we understand this, we embrace and foster a culture built on respect and recognition that promotes integrity and breeds excellence. Our philosophy is simple – recruit the best and treat them well. The same holds true for Greater Philadelphia. We make it a priority to endorse initiatives and activities that are employee-centric – introducing new avenues for learning, improving the way we recognize and support our employees and encouraging their community involvement. Employees are now more directly involved in developing each other and driving processes for change. We’re also dedicated to supporting the CBRE Cares philanthropic efforts – our local team supports several charitable events including those in which our employees are directly involved and/or affected. What some of the firm’s most attractive benefits?

CBRE offers a competitive compensation package including medical/dental, short- and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, 401K retirement program, paid holidays,

There are not too many people that can say they enjoy going to work every day, and while some days are better than others, M&E’s work environment is unsurpassed by few firms in the industry. M&E consists of a close-knit design team that works very efficiently. Employee benefits include a generous health benefits package, 401k match, annual bonus, profit sharing, and continual training. Other perks include casual dress, flex time, free breakfast on Fridays, and your favorite desert on your birthday. Our core values of Teamwork, Respect and Integrity help create enduring relationships that deliver exceptional results.

M&E has become a recognized leader for progressive and sustainable design and energy management solutions, and working here really makes you feel like you are making a difference in the world. The M&E office has an Energy Star rating of 84 and is seeking LEED certification.

It seldom happens that Fameco employees depart, but in the rare instance that it does, it serves as a good reminder of what great place Fameco is to work. During a recent exit interview, an employee said, “The Partners at Fameco care. They really listen to the employees.” This same employee said that in the past few years when times were tight, Fameco continually tried to provide its employees with extra perks in an effort to boost morale and keep the company motivated.

It’s true. Fameco has worked very hard to maintain a workplace that is upbeat, provides motivation for its salespeople and employees, and is a place where its people don’t mind spending time.

At Fameco, there are lots of big things that make Fameco a great place to work like the fact that Fameco continues to grow. In mid 2011, we opened an office in Center City Philadelphia. That office boasts a tremendous portfolio of listings and tenant rep assignments. We’ve invested time and capital in a new proprietary database to assist our sales team in managing their business, we systematically upgrade our technology to provide state of the art computers and graphics capabilities and continually offer a very generous benefits package.

Gebroe-Hammer’s founders, the late Messrs. Mel Gebroe and Morris Hammer, instilled a sense of family in the firm, one that remains committed to the principles and standards of that iconic pair. The firm’s continued success owes to a core of professionals who, combined, have more than 150 years of experience. Indeed, half of the company’s staff of 24 brokers and administration personnel have been with the firm for more than 16 years. The resulting continuity harking back to the principles of the firm’s founders provides the very basis for its continued growth and status within the commercial real estate business, both as a brokerage firm and as a place to work.

What are some of the firm’s most attractive benefits?

Gebroe-Hammer’s mantra is that success lies not only with its experienced core of professionals, but also with the next generation. With a solid commitment to teaching the next generation the importance not only of how to structure deals, but also the art of building relationships and fully knowing and understanding one’s market, the firm has continued to cultivate the highest professional morals and expertise. Ongoing training includes everything from weekly educational programs and management/supervisor meetings.

4445 Willard Avenue City, State: Chevy Chase, Maryland JBG Rosenfeld Retail offers great opportunities. The company is growing rapidly due to the many development projects underway in the mid-Atlantic region.
