with its impressive immediate access to mass and vehicle tran- sit options are major bargaining chips when it comes to decid- ing where to live,” Greenstein explains. All the properties are less than a 35-minute drive from Manhattan, with the new Hudson Yards development on the West Side of Manhat- tan within view from Union City and Bayonne expecting to launch a Manhattan-bound ferry and upzone many of the transit-focused areas near the Hudson Light-Rail. “The buyer was definitely drawn to the rent decontrol laws recently enacted in Bay- onne and the low vacancy rates in Union City,” Greenstein said. “He views these properties as having significant value-add potential and plans to update the apartments upon vacancy.” This transaction comes in the wake of Capital Realty’s recent involvement in the sales of 600 units in Union City, Jersey City, West New York, and Bayonne that totaled in excess of $75 million.

Capital Realty president, Benjamin Greenstein represented the seller and procured the buyer, a private investor. “The sheer volume of the Bay- onne and Union City portfolio presented a challenge when trying to find the most suit- able buyer,” said Greenstein. “A longstanding relationship with the seller developed into a confidence that Capital Realty would be best-suited to facili-

With Hudson County recognized as home to the country’s four most densely populated cities (Union City ranking second on the list), asking rents are expected to appreciate significantly in the area. “It was definitely a rare multifamily acquisition oppor-
tunity simply based on its size and highly strategic location,” adds Steven Follman , vice president/sales manager at Capital Realty. Nestled right across the Hudson River and less than five miles from Manhattan, Bayonne and Union City have been magnets for young profes- sionals, artists, and hipsters who appreciate the relatively inexpensive cost of living and vibrancy the communities of- fer. “The metro’s proximity to high-profile employers along

Will Robots Take Over CRE?
Visit northmarq.com to learn more!
A report released today by Cushman & Wake- field, examines trans- formative technologies and how they will impact commercial real estate over the next two decades. The report is the first in a four-part series that focuses on auto-related technologies such as electric and autono- mous vehicles and ridesharing; distributed ledgers such as blockchain and cryptocurrency; and technologies transforming supply chains such as drones, 3D printing and autonomous mobile robotics. Will Robots Take Over CRE? focuses on structural factors that may drive adoption of these technologies and evalu- ates transformative advances that will affect them, all within the context of safety, secu- rity and acceptance; ability to converge with other technolo- gies and infrastructure; and scalability. Each technology is evaluated on a “Hype Cycle” curve that gauges its likelihood of being adopted. Real estate and infrastructure assets are expensive, built for longevity and do not lend themselves to flexibility. Therefore, in order to embrace any change, play- ers in CRE markets must be convinced that the technology will be widely adopted. The report also addresses the impact of innovation on future employment and identifies cit- ies and real estate asset types best positioned to withstand the change. Today, technology is a net job creator. Looking forward,
certain sectors are at risk, especially manufacturing. A 2018 study commissioned by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) puts the number of jobs at risk of automation at 14%. In the U.S., that is an estimated loss of 13 million jobs. Yet, one study has estimated that one additional job in the technology sector generates about 4.9 new non-technology jobs in the same city (three professional and two nonprofessional positions), as new jobs create additional de- mand for local services. “Despite all the doomsayers, new technologies have created more jobs over the last century than they have eliminated,” said Revathi Greenwood, Cush- man & Wakefield Americas head of research and lead author of the report. “Even so, certain job functions are being decimated by technology, and in some cases robots are indeed coming for your job.” But not yet, as most of the technologies under consider- ation are at least a decade away from widespread adoption. Whether that is perceived as a short or long time depends on how ready one is to cope with the aftermath. Of course, many of these technologies will be ad-
opted on a use- or case-specific basis with limited functions and in select geographies. They are unlikely to materially affect CRE in the short term. Once a technology is widely adopted, there is likely a lag in terms of the impact on real estate. “This lag should not be viewed as a ‘wait and see’ period. Rather, the early adop- tion cycle should be used to determine impacts and possible remediation strategies,” said Sandy Romero, Cushman & Wakefield senior analyst and co-author of the report. “The risk to CRE is that, should underlying patterns of human/ business behavior change more quickly than the real estate or infrastructure can adapt, a technology could lead to weaker CRE performance.” Going forward, cities that invest in training will also be better suited to weather tech- nological shifts. However, once adoption becomes widespread, cities with technologically pro- ficient workers – such as San Francisco, New York, Washing- ton D.C., Boston, Austin, Texas, Los Angeles and San Jose – will be in a better position to benefit from the economic impact asso- ciated with these technologies. continued in the Sept. 14th Edition

with Oak Tree Residential. The apartment community is located at 1400 NE 53rd Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The seller, a private investor, was represented by Kirk Felici of Marcus & Millichap .

ew Jersey’s history as an industrial center has left a legacy of liabili-
Protection (NJDEP) to private sector Licensed Site Reme- diation Professionals (LSRPs). According to Michael Novak, LSRP and President of Atlantic Environmental Solutions Inc. (AESI), a Hoboken-based envi- ronmental remediation and con- sulting firm, “Since the LSRP program was fully launched in May 2012, more contaminated sites across the state are being cleaned up and returned to quality, productive use faster than ever before.” A Pioneer in the LSRP Program Novak was one of the first individuals to be issued an LSRP license in New Jersey. “As transaction-based environ- mental consultants, our firm was accustomed to performing remediation and consulting ser- vices on a rapid basis to facili- tate a deal, and we had success interacting with the NJDEP on fast-turnaround projects,” Novak said. With multiple LSRPs on staff, he and his team have closed 147 LSRP matters with Response Action Outcome (RAO) letters. AESI has 327
LSRP projects in total, ranking it high among environmental firms statewide. Approximately 60% of AESI’s workload is generated by envi- ronmental due diligence and soil and groundwater remedia- tion services. The firm’s LSRPs work with clients to investi- gate and remediate properties, and Areas of Concern (AOCs) must achieve full compliance with the NJDEP Technical Re- quirements, multiple guidance documents and Remediation standards. Transaction speed is a key consideration, and AESI is committed to expediting site cleanup as quickly as possible without compromising quality. “Helping our customers rapidly attain full compliance is our top priority,” noted Novak. AESI LSRP services include soil and groundwater remedial action permits, preliminary as- sessments, site investigations and remediation. One of the hallmarks of the firm’s work is the methodology it uses when strategizing a remediation plan continued on page 6B

The volume of con- taminated sites coupled with increased demand for efficient cleanup has led to sweeping changes in the way site reme- diation is handled throughout the state.

2018 GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE ON HOUSING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
By Marcy Gross, Sheldon Gross Realty Commercial zoning: Past-due for change
T
and municipalities to avoid the specter of empty or even abandoned buildings. There’s a great deal of opportunity here; instead of unused office space, consider if we instead had apartments, co-ops, or condominiums. And how about some space being devoted to restaurants, cafes, bars, gyms, yoga studios, beauty salons, and the like? Making possible such mixed- use structures could trigger dramatic benefits for business owners, individuals, families, and communities. We’d help address the housing shortage many towns face, while also making it easier for businesses to attract talent based on the immediate proximity of nearby amenities like places to eat, exercise, and live. Altering current commercial zoning regulations could be ac- complished rapidly, and would quickly begin paying large dividends. There’s no excuse for communities throughout New Jersey and across the en- tire country not to initiate the process immediately. Marcy Gross is executive vice president at Sheldon Gross Realty. LAN Associates promots within its architectural team MIDLAND PARK, NJ — Jim Sanders , who served as the director of LAN’s archi- tecture department in New Jersey, has been promoted to VP. He has been with LAN for 20 years and has been a key figure in the continued development and growth of the department. "I look forward to continue building LAN’s architectural team in New Jersey, while also developing new markets to further advance the com- pany," said Sanders. "Our staff continues to challenge and educate themselves in the latest industry trends to expand LAN’s expertise, es- pecially in the educational and healthcare sectors. The department has pro- gressively grown by 40% over the last few years, a significant component attributing to the success of LAN. The follow- ing team members have been promoted to Associate roles:
he anc i ent Greeks taught us that noth- ing is constant but
urban and urban zoning laws regarding office space. These are generally quite rigid, to the extent that almost anyone purchasing a building zoned for office use – or leasing space in such a structure – may conduct only specifically defined ac- tivities there. Divergence from what is approved by municipal authorities will likely result in a fine, and could escalate to harsher penalties, including an owner or tenant being barred from entering the building. So, no matter how logical such zoning laws may have seemed as recently as a decade ago, it’s obvious to many of us
who earn a living in the cor- porate real estate sector that they now need to change. And quickly. The problem is that through- out my home state of New Jersey, and in surrounding states, much space is sitting vacant. Sixty percent of a given building may house thriving businesses, while the other 40 percent can be entirely unused …a situation that would great- ly concern any building owner. This happens for multiple reasons, many tied to ongoing advances in technology. Essen- tially, an increasing number of businesses need far less space
now to operate effectively. In some cases, they need practi- cally no space at all. During 2002 a 100,000 s/f office build- ing may have been in full use by a trio of productive busi- nesses, while today these same three, still-successful busi- nesses require only 30,000 s/f between them. Of course, this means the building’s owner now faces paying a mortgage and taxes on 70,000 s/f of space that generates no income. As soon as possible, we need to update and relax codes related to how commercial buildings can be used – thus enabling owners to prosper
change. It’s a philosophy that’s true of life, society … and real estate, too. T h a t ’ s r ight . How individuals and commu-
Marcy Gross
nities utilize and relate to real estate evolves with time; failing to recognize and react to this reality can present a host of problems. In particular, consider sub-
