29 buildings span New Jersey’s North, Central and Southern Metros Gebroe-Hammer Associates markets 406-unit multifamily portfolio in receivership
IVINGSTON, NJ — Gebroe-Hammer As- sociates has been ap- pointed as the exclusive listing agent to market the in-receiv- ership Garden State Portfolio, a 406-unit, 29-building collec- tion of apartment properties spanning the entire state of New Jersey. Executive manag- ing director Joseph Brecher is spearheading the assign- ment, which was awarded by Colliers International as receiver. Comp r i s ed o f ga r den - style and low-rise buildings throughout well-established and emerging municipalities statewide, the underperform- ing properties are being mar- keted in an open-bid process collectively, as smaller pack- ages and individually. The assets are located across the in-demand submarkets of Ber- gen, Passaic, Hudson, Union, Middlesex, Camden, Atlantic and Salem counties, all of which are along the coveted NewYork City-to-Philadelphia corridor. “The Garden State Portfolio presents intrinsic value-add and repositioning components, as well as the benefit of econo- mies of scale associated with a property package of this categoric size and geographic scope,” said Brecher. “Because of its potential to realize tre- mendous untapped upside, this offering targets investors concentrated on multifamily assets with at-market renova- tion and stabilization potential and an ability to capture high- er rent-premiumbenchmarks.” As part of two densely popu- lated Northeast MSAs – New York City and Philadelphia – New Jersey’s multifamily housing stock has proven its long-term resiliency in every type of economic cycle. This is due to the state’s dynamic local, regional and metro-level lifestyle offerings; exceptional transit and major-highway connectivity; and diverse econ- omy, which includes blue-chip employers, Fortune-500 com- panies and centers of aca- demia. “In general, New Jersey is classified as a suburb of New York City and Philadelphia, yet it has its own urban cen- ters, semi-urban municipali- ties and bedroom-community towns – all of which make up the Garden State Portfolio,” said Brecher. In total, the portfolio prop- L
stitutional investors, private equity funds, REITs, family offices and private individu- als. While initially focused on New Jersey, the Livingston, N.J.-based firm has evolved to also dominate the Eastern Pennsylvania and New York State submarkets as well as represent client interests nationally. Widely recognized for its consistent sales perfor- mance, the firm is a 16-time CoStar Power Broker and is credited with arranging the largest portfolio sale in 2019 for the MidAtlantic Region and in New Jersey.
