Upon completion, the 381-acre site will also feature two large retention ponds, a dam for stormwater, and mul- tiple bioretention basins. “For the first time since In- gersoll Rand vacated this mas- sive site decades ago, it is officially on its way to once again becoming a beehive of in- dustry for the region,” said Jeff Milanaik, Partner – Northeast Region, Bridge Development Partners. PNY Technologies spent many years and a consider- able amount of capital im- proving the building after purchasing it from Pfizer. The property’s location – 30 minutes from New York City, Newark Liberty Interna- tional Airport, and the Port of NY/NJ – also contributed to strong interest among in- vestors and users. “The qual- ity of this asset and strong institutional sponsorship led to a competitive bidding process and excellent terms put forth by lender Granite Point Mortgage Trust, Inc. ,” Alascio said. “Ulti- mately, Turnbridge was able to take advantage of a great opportunity in a market of- fering outstanding industrial fundamentals.” tion has a long track record of successful investments, and the depth of its expertise and professionalism was clear in the 100 Jefferson Rd. transac- tion from start to finish.”

Bridge Development Partners will be donating In- gersoll Rand artifacts from the site, to be kept in a future museum. “I am very excited to have
